Heh. So, I applied to a university. Going for a BS in Computer Information Technology at Saint Leo University.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Leo_University
A catholic university, but not pushy about it. Part of the classes I'm going to take is some christian stuff which ought to be 'fun'. But, we'll see. The guy I talked to on the phone for an hour seemed cool, and was really interested in me joining. Lots of good information, plus several scholarships and grants including one for being a student in Florida, going to a Florida private university.
Had to go Back to the Future to get some information; needed a school transcript so I had to FAX a form to the state Department of Education... not to mention starting off hand-writing the form (before I got tired of that and found an online PDF editor where I could add in text more easily)... felt like a caveman bashing a leaf with a rock.

I honestly didn't want to do this.. .but so many places are requiring degrees anymore. I'd still have a job if I had one, even if it was in something stupid. It's all online, and while I'll have set things to do per week, I can do them whenever I feel like it / have time as long as it's before the deadline. They seem really interested in getting me as much in the way of grants and scholarships as are available, which makes sense; otherwise they don't get paid. But it doesn't feel like I'm just a dollar sign to them.

A little disappointed; I misread the name as "Lego University" initially. Ah, well!
Now I'm disappointed too. :D
Heh, I know I'm in a naughty mood from the mental images I keep conjuring for myself.
