Because even though they charge you an arm and a leg, they treat you like you deserve to be treated. For the past week I’ve been working on a non-degree admissions to a state university here. It’s a long, drawn-out, and unnecessary process. The actual application and supporting documentation to be submitted is not that bad. I copied everything and submitted them within a day of finding out exactly what it is I needed to submit. It’s getting hold of the office that sucks.

I call and call and the stupid machine routes and re-routes me as it wishes. I click a number and am on hold for the operator for about a minute before it transfers me back to the main menu…exactly where I started. I thought I could save myself the 45-minute trip to the school by calling since I just wanted to know if they need anything else, but I guess I will either have to take it or wait for them to send me a request in the mail…which I don’t want to do since everything needs to be done before May 12. I do not want to be registering within the week that school starts…I have until that Friday (May 16th), but since I want to take a super-shortened Chem class (about 7 weeks or so), I don’t want to miss days of class.

I have decided that I am just going to finish up 90 credits (I should be able to do so by the end of next year) and then study hard for the MCAT and apply to medical school. If I do not make it on my first attempt, I will go ahead and complete my Bachelor’s, but otherwise I won’t bother. I have faith that I can get in, though. I just need to keep a 3.0 GPA (B average) in all my science and math classes and do amazing on the MCAT (which is basically a science-based SAT, methinks).

And it sure feels good! I have two tests to take between tonight and Sunday and then the whole shebang is OVER! I’m SO excited! I’ve done good in most of my classes, bad in one and not as good as I expected in a few. I may take a class or two over the summer but it will not be at this school I’m currently going to. I think it is finally time for me and that school to go our separate ways…even though I love it there so much. I’ve never loved a school so much–the academics, teachers, and advisers are purely awesome. The other school sucks but I will still take my prerequisites for med school and get on with my life.

Monday or Tuesday I can begin screwing around with WordPress and see what I can come up with. It will also be a good time to do some spring cleaning and much needed returning of comments.

If you can secure a 0 balance transfers offer, now would be a good time to do so. The truth of the matter is that we are in a recession. As much as the government is trying to hide it, it is getting more and more apparent almost daily! There are rations on rice and the prices of oil is going up, up, up. Several countries will no longer be exporting products to us and some have reduced their export loads significantly. This does not all have to do with the economic state of our country, but they are certainly influencing factors.

Getting a 0 apr balance transfers card can help you because you will be able to pay down more debt as opposed to paying a little bit of your debt and plenty of interest. The no fee balance transfers will ensure that you not only get a great rate, but that you also do not pay for such privilege. Saving is hard to do when you have debt. Make a smart credit choice and follow my advice. It may help you in the near future!
