Blah, but good

First of all, happy Birthday to Neon Grizzly.
I've been working a lot on drawing and WoW lately. The sketchbook is coming along nicely, Manx and Feral seem to be my favorites among the SWAT Kats universe.
Got the next few Herc and Nemean Lion pictures fleshed out, and got quite a few new interesting tricks from
ivybeth to use.
Cyberwuffy seems happy, I'll be finishing his work before the weekend of the 17th when he goes on vacation.
Got Stormcatcher still in my unfinished commissions folder waiting to be cleaned up and colored.
Kagnar and Sypke are coming up.
As for school, as odd as things went talking to my department came down to this, I cannot take any classes in the Spring semester toward my degree that is not a secular course that began it's material in the previous Fall.
Their solution? Just take all undergraduate courses and wait it out till fall, wasting about 12k in loans not even for classes that will be towards my major, food, and lodging.
The defense was that they would better prepare me. I can understand that, but if I cannot take at least one class towards the degree, than it is a rather expensive review session. 3 years out of a classroom or not.
I am going to talk to the Dean of Students office after this week if they continue to evade my questions in my department. I will defer my acceptance to the fall if possible when I can take full time and earn credits towards the masters.
It's been trying to say the least. I am fine though, just anxious. I am confident my decision is right for me, considering I am borrowing ever cent for the education. I am worried that my progress will be halted by lack of funds. I want to get this done before I am 30, and get on with things. That gives me 3 years.
Thank goodness for distractions.

Hang in there...college can suck, as I vividly recall from dealing with it a year ago, but with a little luck and a lot of determination, thing will turn out for the better, I'm sure.
And WoW is horribly addictive...I gave it up, and it was honestly harder then quitting smoking. But it's nice to have free time again.
As for college, that is a SUCKASS thing for them to do to you! I'd be furious if they did that to me.
