I had a tooth prepped for a crown today. Not so much fun. It wasn't so bad while I was at the dentist because of the Novocaine. But when I got home and that Novocaine wore off, holy Ouch Batman. I took Tylenol and 600mg of Ibuprofen. Fortunately for me that worked. Then I fell asleep. I woke up at 5:45 pm remembering Jason got off at 6 today because he picked up an extra shift.
So Jason is going to talk to his boss about the tuition reimbursement program and possibly go to school at Porter Chester Institute at night to earn his Auto mechanics degree. We filed for FAFSA just in case work doesn't cover all of it and I'm very excited for him. It's an 18 month program. So I would go to school during the day while Jason works, pick up Jason, go to his school and sit there and study and do homework while he's learning. I won't have any distractions.
Once Jason is an auto tech he can move up from being a valet to something that uses his skills. Let's just hope it all works out.

Mount Ida College, You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet!!!!
I got into Mount Ida College!
It took so long because my transcripts kept getting lost in the mail. Finally I had them sent to me then drove them to the College myself. I got my tentative financial aid package which I'm not going to lie, does not close the gap as I would like, so I will talk to them about options.
But I am going to go! My fortune cookie said to take a big step and this sure is a big one! I'm going to be a Vet Tech and finally have my BA. Or in this case I believe it's a BS. Oh I am so glad. I am going to work my ass off too. No more scraping by, no more watching TV rather than going to class. No more getting too sick to go. I'm going to go and make a difference. I'm going to study and do my homework. I'm going to go to Discussion Groups.
And I'm going to make some new friends. I already have a few and a great new friend, my buddy at Honda Village, but it will be nice to see the same people every day and get to know them. My classes at UofT were so huge I didn't really meet anyone through class, just through my residence. And Northeastern I talked to a few people but then the class would end and that was it. This time I'm going to be with the same group of people for four years. If I can't build friendships out of that I'm utterly hopeless.
So long story short, I'm going to Mount Ida College in Newton, MA. Look out!
