School

So as you may have noticed, I have updated my site with a new layout – at least for the blog. I also made some tweaks to the poetry site, but I don’t think I will touch that site much more unless I add a new poem or something along those lines.

School is the title. How crazy is that? I am out of work – with nothing coming in. There are talks of my dad getting a job. He has been applying in multiple places not excluding places that are out of state. Just throwing that little bone out there. The big elephant in the room would beg the question: Oregon or Washington? The answer: no. Not either of those places.

What else…..? oh yes the school thing. I am in the process of applying and getting things ready for classes (a big part will be to see how much help I qualify for with the government).

That’s right. Azusa Pacific University. I looked into them a little when Jars of Clay had a contest for free tuition. I won’t find out if I lost that contest until December. In the meantime I have been thinking that I need to do something with my life. I can’t find a job and don’t want to take anything to get by – so why not see about returning to school? Time is ticking either way – and if I am going to have to be out of work I might as well do something with that time. I think that it is something worth looking into…

So I wouldn’t be going to the campus for classes, rather I would be attending online. The choice for me to take classes at the campus would remain open if that opportunity ever became something that I could feasibly do. So that’s my news. Right now I am waiting to hear if I was accepted or not. I guess the whole thing could end quickly if they tell me that I am not accepted in. We shall see. I checked to see if they were like Cascade with a 100% acceptance and they aren’t. They actually pick about 80% of people who apply.

I met up with Ben and JJ and Krystal this week. It was nice to feel like there are people out there who still like me and want something to do with me. A lot of catching up was done. Caught up with Ben over water and coffee at a local Starbucks, and with JJ and Krystal we played a bit of basketball while talking throughout the night.

We have now watched Seasons 1 thru 3 of Greys Anatomy. Currently on season 4. So far my fav. have been the first three seasons. We are going to watch all 7 seasons (to the current 8th). Fun times.

That’s all I have for now. I will leave you with a picture I took recently while Jake was sleeping. It’s pretty cute.

Until next time,

just Pray.
