Things were looking up, and then today was not so good. Hmph.

yesterday I got so old, I felt like I could die
yesterday I got so old it made me wanna cry
go on, go on, just walk away
go on, go on, your choice is made
go on, go on and disappear
go on, go on away from here
and I know I was wrong when I said it was true
that it couldn't be me and be her in between without you
yesterday I got so scared I shivered like a child
yesterday away from you it froze me deep inside
so come back, come back, don't walk away
come back, come back, come back today
come back, come back, why can't you see?
come back, come back, come back to me
and I know I was wrong when I said it was true
that it couldn't be me and be her in between without you
without you

May I just say that I am getting quite frustrated with bloody financial aid at WT. I am lacking nothing to be able to accept my aid, yet 3 of the 4 items that were on my list as set for me before I could accept it are gone. And, let me just be honest, there is no chance at all that I do not qualify for a Pell grant again this year - I have every year since I began my upper-level education, and this year is no different.

I also still cannot register for classes. This is getting beyond frustrating.



I would like to finish my education, kthxdie.

I appear to be getting work-study next year. This is good. I am also still getting all of the same aid as I have received this year, which is also good.


Kelli and I are looking for a house in Amarillo. If we have to, we will rent an apartment but we would both much rather a house - for a variety of reasons, mostly that it costs the same or less to rent a house than an apartment and it's more space, and also Kelli has a dog. Most of the apartments around Amarillo are not pet-friendly.


I have one more class today and I am through for the week. All that I have to do is pack my room, take my finals, and go back to Texarkana. I'm ready for it, this semester has been far too long.

A few points.

1: I should update the colors of this blog. I am taking suggestions at this time.

2: I need to schedule to take the GRE. I am not entirely looking forward to it.

3: I need to get green-lighted to register for fall classes... like a week ago. Am going to have to pester Dr. Byrd until it gets done, I suspect.

4: I also need to talk to people in more graduate programs - though I'd like to stay close to family to finish school, if I do what I'm planning on as soon as I finish, it won't make a difference. Anyone know of any schools with really good master's programs in forensic science? (I'm already looking at UCO and Sam Houston State.)

5: I have two weeks left in this semester, and then finals. This is crazy.

6: I'm still unemployed in the Canyon/Amarillo area. I'd looked most of the semester, but I'm quitting right now as I'm only going to be out here for another two and a half weeks - and then I'll be gone until the middle or end of August. Nobody's going to hire and start training me under those circumstances.

7: Seven. :)

So, that excessively large dent in the side of my car has been repaired. They did very good work; you can't even tell where they spliced the panel back together. (The back sides and top of the car are all one panel, or were until the repair.)
