another one...gasp

Ugh, this whole "graduating" thing is just not going very well for me. I didn't get into UCF because I only have 6 credit hours of Spanish ( I need 8,). I also need one more math. Now, the math I can take care of at Brevard Community College, but I really don't know if I've retained enough Spanish to enroll in a level 3 course. I may end up borrowing my cousins copy of Rosetta Stone Spanish, giving myself a crash-course refresher and then just trying to get lucky in Sp. 3.

On a brighter note, I finally got myself a real life job. I'll be working for Bright House Networks (the cable company here) as an I/T tech. 401K, paid vacations and sick days, free cable/internet and INSURANCE. I haven't had health insurance since I worked at IBM, so this is very much a relief.

I'm currently really into Kaki King (real name Katherine King). She was the first ever female on Rolling Stones' "Guitar gods" list.

Check out this YouTube video .

Congrats on the real-life job! I guess you can work your class schedule around it. I'm sorry you didn't get into UCF, but I do hope you'll continue at the Community College. You can't give up. BTW, if you haven't seen it yet, you must start watching Community. Kaki's guitar music is really beautiful. Great quote, as usual.

Sorry that you didn't get into UCF. I think that getting the credits and trying again is a great. Don't give up. Rosetta Stone is a great idea. My best friend used it to refresh her German and passed the class with a 92.6% (B). Congrats on the new job!!! I hope that Bright House heads up the coast my way. Comcast needs some competition. Great music choice! Thanks for sharing. I'm going to Bestbuy tomorrow and I'm going to pick up her CD. Have a great weekend.

IM: Thanks for the comment. I will be taking the two classes I need at BCC and trying for UCF next fall. I have over 120 credits from 3 different schools already, there's no way I can just give up :-). I watched the first episode of Community but I couldn't really get into it. I never can figure out how I feel about Joel McHale. But if you say it's good, I'll check out the other eps on Hulu.

Skeeter: Well, your Rosetta Stone story is encouraging, thanks. Are you really going to pick up the CD? That's so awesome. It has always been my goal to interest someone to the extent that they buy the music for themselves. :-)

I wasn't impressed with the first episode of Community either, but others have been better. It's still uneven, though. This week's wasn't as good as the Halloween episode.
