The new year is upon us, and 2K23, let's just say, was a year. Not a good year, not a bad year…just a year. I've had a lot happen to me in terms of my personal life, such as my job (working for a specific home delivery focused warehouse job, I had to move sites multiple times due to transportation issues) and my college scenario. In terms of the latter, I was not able to attend fall classes due to my job not having the budget to send me back to classes, and on top of that, I got hit with a surprise from my university in the form of a big bill of fees that my job didn't cover, and I'm now stuck with paying that bill or else I cannot reenroll in classes. This has seriously made me rethink my college strategy, and when I tell the program that my job utilizes to give me the assistance, I'm also going to tell them that I'm going to reenroll at my old community college to finish the AAS I was doing there ten years ago. I found out they have revamped their graphic communication degree to include animation into the fold, and I still have a passion to do animation and 3D modelling in some capacity, so what I'm going to do is get back in touch with the CC and ask if they still have those classes going (because if they don't, I have to think of something else to do, and I'll be honest, I don't really have much passion for anything else). It'll be a roller coaster of a ride next year and I have to make a few things work, and probably take on more hours at my job just so I can make enough money to destroy the amount of debt I have (part of that is I bought a new vehicle after the last one got stolen for a second time, and this one costs more a month than my old one…*sigh* there's no such thing as affordable ANYTHING anymore). I'm hoping I can get through the next year with minimum issues and finish school finally, whether it's community college or university. That's really what I want, and I want to work in the field I'm studying in (and not some dead end job where I'm nothing but an overused and underpaid grunt in the system).


Well, only 12 more minutes before the new year starts for me. For those that have already made it past midnight, HNY and be safe out there.
