Update: 1-23-09 - College Again?
I'm not going to get my hopes up about this. Not just yet. There may be a chance for me to get back into college again and have another go at Computer Science.
In the past week I've been meeting with my councelor and the Rehab guru concerning an upcoming week of tests to see where I'd stand in the job market. They asked me if I wanted to go straight to the work force, or go back to school. I chose the obvious answer and suggested that I'd like another go at college!
While this seems like it may be good news, there lies the obstacles...
In order for me to get back into school, I was told that I need a GPA of 1.80 or higher. I went through my old college files only to find that my last GPA was 1.70 following the text: "You are currently on Academic Probation" which in the current school catalog it explains that I've at least achieved the school's minimum GPA for acceptance for another semester... but that's all I could get out of it.
I dont know what it means for my future of returning to college. It may certainly not work out, hense why I'm not getting my hopes up. But that doesnt mean that the Rehab service cant help me in other ways.
Two weeks from now I will be thrust into a week long series tests where they will be poking and prodding me under a test tube (I'm exagerating a bit.) and seeing what I am capable of doing. The lady who explained the tests to me, (and asked me a book load of personal questions about my life) told me I should bring in my artwork and literature for their study. As to what this means, I havent the foggiest. I highly doubt they're capable of putting me in my dream studio job, (or pay me to finish my book). But hopefully something good would come of it. And heck, I'm all for showing off my material to complete strangers! =P
Whatever the outcome, I bet it will be completely better than where my life is at now. Living under other people's roofs while playing Mr. Nanny... (I'm the only nutcase around here who cleans up anything it seems!)
Also in the past week I've been very busy building up my little personal foundation on the internet and at home. I've made a few new accounts through Myspace, Youtube, Deviant Art, Sheezy Art, and so on. These accounts will all be used to my efforts in the current projects. I will be posting the links to these new pages once they are ready for showing off.
Also, Bell County Comics will be continued in a whole new series called The Adventures of Alex and Falene (name may change) which will follow the two leading characters on their own adventures in the small country town of Bell County. I'll post more on this comic as soon as I have a functioning layout for the strips. Keep your eyes peeled for updates on that!
That is all I can think of for the momment. Its getting late here and I need bed.
Wish me well, and I shall do the same for you! =)
God Bless
