uncertainity? stupidity?
Its good to be back home, even though it was only a 90 minutes away. Personally, I think the interivew went pretty good. After thinking about it some more, I could see how it was decent. But its finished and not my call, so therefore, I will no longer think about it. I have not heard back from 4 other schools; for 3 of them, a month after their deadline has passed. I have no evidence/experience on what exactly that should mean. With the way midwestern did it, i think i can safely assume a "no" from them. I am going to call them so I can try planning the future accordingly. I feel good about midwestern. Solid program, solid faculty, new facilities, not too far, no drastic weather change, not too expensive*. Within 3 weeks I'll know. Hopefully good news, but not the end of the world for the worst case scenario; or at least that is what i tell myself.
They gave us a financial presentation. with housing, its about 50 grand a year for 3 years. I'm hoping to get loans to cover tuition and housing (50) and maybe some pocket money. Hopefully, i can work at least 4 or 8 hours (1 day of the week), but i dont want to fail out of school. I seem to always go back to this idea. Air force gives out 3/4 year scholarships. Fees plus 1,200 stipend for the 3 years. All you do is 3 years of commitment after its all done. I think you also do some active duty (2 weeks for the year) during the time. Now i dont know the idea always comes back. I'm not sure entirely what exactly attracts me to it. I suppose I would be a pharm. and thus be in minimal danger. But then again, times aren't the greatest, and I don't have too much confidence in current leadership. But then again, i have a feeling of "empty promises" from the demo or repub candidates. I believe i can make a good amount from overtime come fulltime work in retail, but not so much in military. Maybe its just the idea of another world thats propelling the thought.
end case result: i dont know. the best thing i can do is dont worry about it yet. plus im cold and tired and feel like rambling.
