A New Deadline; November 20 2024

In September, I applied to go back to school. There’s a university program that Fit me and what I want to do, if I can – I want to go into social work. I sent in all my information, hoping to get in for the winter semester of 2025.

I was denied.

… Because there was no winter semester in that particular program.

Instead I’ve been accepted into the fall semester!

It doesn’t feel real yet. Back To School. That is… a truly wild concept. There’s so much I have to figure out, now, like paying the fees and arranging meetings to discuss disability accommodations. I’m going to be applying for financial help, but if you’re interested in donating to my cause, here’s a link to my ko-fi! I have to secure my position with a $500 fee to start off. I have plenty of time to earn that money, though – not worried yet!

I’m glad to have a plan for the future again. One where I feel like I have more control over the outcome. It also gave me a little motivation boost where my next novel is concerned – I’d like to get the first draft done well before school starts next September. That’s loads more time than I usually need, but it’s still nice to have a date in mind.

Wish me luck, all!
