but really tho? whas goin on?
i’ve been sort of mulling about what God’s plans could possibly be for me in the midst of my many many mistakes and screw ups... i mean... how's He really gonna fix this? i ask Him every morning to close doors to paths that i shouldn’t take, and open doors to where i should be... and every day he closes another door... closes them until all options that i’ve thought of are shut off...
i just came from the office of the head of my department... an exception can’t be made for me... because i failed my core class... that’s the one that i must must take in order to get a degree... then i must must be here next semester...
the questions...
1. should i withdraw from this semester and just finish up next semester? that way i could get a job and make some money to pay for all my books and tuition... oh yes... tuition was definitely due on the 5th and i definitely have not paid a cent...
2. should i look to minor in something else? there’s nothing else i could minor in that wouldn’t take me more than 2 semesters... so i’m not sure that makes sense...
3. should i go part time each semester? it would be expensive with all the extra fees, but it would leave me more free time to work to pay off my bills...
i don’t know what to do!!! this stinks!!! but all i keep thinking is... there’s a reason for all this... no actually, that’s only about 3% of my brain... the rest is going, ‘this stinks!!!’
oh well... one thing i do know... life is so much more than my problems... there are people in this world enduring much much worse... if i had lost everything that i owned in a flood, or couldn’t find any of my loved ones, would i even be thinking about school?
point is... God is bigger than all i’m dealing with... more than that... He’s faithful and will work it all out...
but still, chi... what do you think i should do?

oh my gosh... how did i know you were going to ask me...
1. pray about it: so when you go over the options, you'll have a clear head about it
2. go over options:
i. withdraw from semester + get a job: this looks good unless you have a class that's only offered in fall... then you have to stay another semester... make sure and check all the classes you need are offered in the spring.
ii. 1/2 time both semesters: v. expensive, but good if you have classes to take fall and spring. maybe by taking less, you can focus more on the work and pass (that's what always helped me when i took fewer classes).
iii. minor: NO! don't do this! why? then you would have to stay to take extra classes that you didn't intend on taking. If you're just looking to be full time, take an elective that's just fun... i.e. african dance: exercise + great stress reliever... but pick what's fun for you...
iv. another college: is the course you need to take offered at another college (i.e. community college around) that you can get into real quick and then transfer. try looking into that.
now that i have laid all the pros and cons of your choices, all you have to do is think, pray, pray, pray, pray and decide. God won't let you down, but you have to open your heart and eyes and allow him to speak to you. Do not worry and don't be afraid... God's got this. Let know what you decide. Call me! T says hi.
