Without a goal, where are you?

3 September 2009 Comments Off

I’ve reached a revolutionary point, recently. Ever since I left active duty, I’ve done fairly well. Certain things during that time required help from my family, but overall, I’d say I was a far pitch from doing poorly. But something felt… missing. Hmm, well, it was easy to ignore — especially during my time at [...]

Ban sports in school?

11 March 2009 Comments Off

As I normally do each morning. I was listing to Fox & Friends on my way to work this morning. I already don’t care to listen to Gretchen as she seems to have very strong opinions that are mostly unfounded, I believe. This morning, she was bringing up a headline about schools banning sports, and how [...]

The VA saw it my way

22 June 2008 0 Comments

Last year, during the fall semester, I signed up for 14 hours of classes. However, due to my demanding work schedule, I was forced to drop two of my classes in order to save my GPA. I am also a beneficiary of the Montgomery GI Bill, administered by the Veterans Affairs. They pay a specific [...]

Forcing Beliefs

17 September 2007 Comments Off

I was in witness of an act that I must comment on, in my opinion, to make things fair. Today, as I was traversing the Angelo State University campus to get to my next class, I passed by an aged gentleman who was passing out Gideon’s bibles. I must make myself clear as to what [...]

Back to School

6 September 2007 Comments Off

So it’s the end of the second week of school, and so far, so good. I’m taking Botany, Chemistry, English II, and Algebra. Both science classes have a lab. I’m taking 14 hours this semester, but so far, it doesn’t seem as bad as last semester. I guess I have this feeling that I’m a [...]

First day wasn’t bad

16 January 2007 Comments Off

Attended my first day of English and Biology. Not too bad. Tomorrow, it’ll be Psychology and Math. I will mention this: there may not be too many updates here very often, as attending school all morning, then going to work until late at night, and hours and hours of study time will leave me with [...]

Back to school

Well, classes start on the 16th, and so I’m down to my last week of freedom. I’ll still be putting in 40 hours per week at work while trying to cram in 13 hours of school. The VA will be paying me $1,075 each month, and that just just barely covers my tuition. The only [...]

Spring 2007: back to school

26 October 2006 Comments Off

Albeit a little behind my peers, it’s finally time for me to pursue my education. Today I completed the final steps for registering for the Spring semester at Angelo State University and getting my Montgomery GI Bill benefits started. Now, all I can do is sit and wait for a letter to arrive in the [...]

Icing on the cake

11 October 2006 Comments Off

I know I’ve already made it public that I’ve been accepted to Angelo State University, but I just had to publish one more remark on the whole thing: today I got a card in the mail from ASU, and when I opened it, a handful of gold and blue stars fell out of it! All [...]

ASU, here I come!

5 October 2006 Comments Off

I have been accepted to Angelo State University College of Sciences. I haven’t received a letter (yet) — I just logged into the ASU Student portal and was able to see my application status. Well, this isn’t as big a deal as it may sound — state schools accept damn near anyone. But it’s an [...]
