Step 1 Complete: College Admission

General
It's just a community college, do not congratulate.
Well actually you can congratulate me for getting a good enough score on the Accuplacer math assessment that I don't have to take a math class because I had to literally re-teach myself years of math, which I was always terrible at, and largely ignored when possible. I never did fully learn algebra so I had to self-teach myself on the Khan Academy website to prepare for the Accuplacer. And frankly I'd forgotten the basics of multiplication and long division.
Anyway so that's taken care of. And since it's the one program I'm doing and it's relatively short, the financial burden's actually not bad at all, after grants I only took out an $800 loan, which I could frankly pay now but I'm kinda waiting to see if Grampa Joe gets desperate enough to cancel federal debt prior to midterms, and a free $800 is a free $800.
Now I guess I have to find a part time job. Not sure what that's gonna look like, until I started in on this hair brained scheme I was pretty convinced I was never gonna need a job again, that's not the trajectory life seemed to be taking, so I don't know. Anybody familiar with me can imagine I don't get along so well in the working world, around others. Still, unemployment's been on my ass so, I'll have to find some dumb shit to do.
Still waiting on the passport to arrive in the mail. Meanwhile I rely on the ever worsening news cycle to keep me focused. I've got friends how are like "Well, I know I'm gonna be shipped off to an internment camp probably but there's just so many people here I like to fursuit with so I'm gonna stay" and...yeah, I don't fucking get it. I'm out.
Anyway so that's where that's at for now. And remember: It's always okay to kill Nazis.

Also - Community college or not, advancing things your way is always grounds for congratulations. Life's a bitch and this societal system's its dirty overseer but hey. Any moves we can make to try and get through it as best we can is worth recognizing
Congratulations! Take some pride in yourself. You're an artist, eventual college graduate, and a man with a purpose.
