New friend!

I met a new friend at work last week! When we are together I'm so energetic and happy! Our time spent together is often short, but the effects of our meeting remain with me for hours. She is sweet, and smells very nice. We met 4 times today, five times last week. We only see each other in the breakroom, but sometime I sneak to the break room just for another meeting.
The name of the friend you ask? Oh, yeah, It's Expresso, "A small serving of extra strong coffee", or so the machine says. D-4* on the machine to be exact. :)

G-nite

Yep, It's been a while. I applied to Bloomsburg today! I talked to my pastor and a friend yesterday, and I guess there is a very strong christian community there. I praying that I get excepted.

To Bloomsburg or not????

I'm looking at Bloomsburg University's website, and they appear to have a very strong Computer Science program. I need to talk to more people who go there, especially ones in the C.S major. One good thing about Bloom is they aren't like Central Penn in that they teach you one subject every semester instead of every 11 weeks. They have REAL semesters, REAL finals and REAL lectures. More and more Central Penn is looking like a joke. The teachers know what they are teaching to an extent, but not all of them know how to teach it. One professor likes hands on things, and I can do them and learn, but hands on teaching needs lectures too. Some people in these classes aren't learning, maybe because they don't apply themselves, but I think the teacher could do a better job it they had a full semester and taught instead of handed out in class, hands on assignments.
Another benefit is the cost. It is a closer (40 mins. vs 1 hr.), so I'd spend less on gas, and the cost per semester is almost 1/2 of what I'm paying now, which the financial aid I'm getting now, it should pay for all of it.
Another plus is that a lot of the teens and young adults at church go there, so I would have a good base of Christian friends.

So if you read this, I would appreciate prayer concerning what to do.

I'm doing 15 credits. I THINK i can swing it. I'll have to just work weds instead of tues. I AM GOING TO BE SO BUSY! I will have a lot of time at school. It would be nice if i wasn't distracted by my friends and was able sit down and study and do my work.
Also, I did change my minor. It is not irreversable, as all of the classes this term are needed for either minor, but this minor makes the most practical and at the same time enjoyable solution.
Yes I know. Its been a while. I'm facing a decision about school again. My advisor want me to take 15 credits this term, because 1 class does not count towards my major, so I will be paying for 15 credits, but only 12 of them will count. 15 credits will cost out of pocket ~$1000. In the 3 month payment plan, thats like $350 a month. HOWEVER, I'm going to have to stop working tuesday this term, so I'll be LOSSING ~$200 per paycheck, which makes it very tight. HOWEVER, with the 12 credits like normal, I only have to pay $81 out of pocket for the WHOLE TERM! So either I get the (pay for 15 credits, get 12) or I get the (pay for 12 credits, get 9). The $81 sounds really nice, I could pay it off once, and not have to worry about other bills the rest of the term. SO, you can pray that I make the right decision.
