Planning on going to bed in a few minutes (even though I said that twenty minutes ago- whoops), because I've been fucking exhausted all day, but I should probably post this before I -totally- wimp out like usual. I'M KEEPING MYSELF ACCOUNTABLE THIS TIME, DAMMIT. >(
Reading some samples of a few online writing classes (non-credit) that sound awesome. (At least, the student reviews are good, heh.) It's $100 for each class, though, which gives me pause... in addition to my CRIPPLING FEAR OF EPIC FAILURE. However- it's only six weeks. And the other big advantage is that taking one would allow me to test out the "doing school online" thing, since I'm not sure how well that would work for me. This way, if I hate it, I'm only spending $100 instead of god knows how much, yeah? Also because it's non-credit, there's no scary applications, no confusing financial aid stuff to deal with, so we're not even bringing some of my other issues into the picture. And the pressure is lower, I guess? It's not anything that's going to end up on a transcript. So if it turns out I can't do the online thing and I fail at it (meep)... well, it's not as big a deal. Right? <_< At least that's what I'm trying to tell myself. It's not working that well. I have some time to think about it, at least- the next class starts on the 20th, and they're set up every month- so even if I miss April, I can do it in May if I decide to. Honestly, I'm not sure why it didn't occur to me before that I could test the waters this way. I'm feeling a little "DUH" about that now. But... possible failure and $100 is still a lot of money, especially for something that I won't be getting any kind of credit for. It's very anxious-making. :/
*wibbles*
(Edit: Also, LJ keeps yelling at me about my password. I wish it would stop doing that.)
(Edit 2: Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck. It's now almost 6am and I still haven't been able to get to sleep, a lot of which has to do with the fact that my brain decided to choose then to realize that I haven't seen my credit card since Wednesday. >_< Fuck fuck fuck. I've torn the apartment apart with no luck. Unfortunately, any other checking will have to wait until later- nobody's open at this hour, at least not that can check that kind of stuff. Man. I need to try to get SOME sleep at least, and hit those couple of stores later. Look around some more, because it's totally possible that I'm just being a complete idiot at this hour of the morning. I'll choose to believe that for now, I think. ^_^;;;;;;;
