Well, it seems that my friend, the buisness manager for our student radio station, is tempting me with the offer of a talk show broadcast over the FM. (Our student radio station, while webcasting 24/7, only broadcasts FM one half of the day, a community station takes the other half.) I think it'd be a real fun oppertunity, having a 'third way' type such as myself going taking to the airwaves, in contrast to the raging arch-conservatives of commercial talk radio, and the hippy socialist types who infest non-profit radio. Of course, this is all just hypothetical right now, but right now the raging fantasy part of the process has kicked in gear... |

In other news, I think my comments on the Jesus Christ article are pretty cool. This really is a fun place to have arguments. Granted, I don't want to stir up too much negativity, since that seems to have bit me on the ass on other sites. By the Gods, I just used Anselm of Canterbury to back my arguments. I feel giddy... So, today gets to be a busy one for me. Go home, work out, wash clothes, finish up the web pages that my boss needs Friday, and generally prepare myself for another weekend of working the bar. A job that I've suddenly realized is much more nessicary than I thought, considering that my parents just informed me that they refuse to help me pay for classes this semester. Suddenly that $945.55 bill is looking a lot steeper... Yes, I will one day be able to bitch and moan (at my children, neighbors, or whoever else pisses me off) "Damnit! I worked two jobs and put myself through college!" It'll be my nice little argument-escape device, since hard work is the kryptonite of middle-class arguments. Honestly, though, this bill does have me worried. Assuming I go by the installment plan, I'm going to have to shell out, at the very least, $449.04 by August 15th. Now, given the current state of my finances, there isn't really much hope of that happening. (Well, there is, but it involves pawn shops, generous tippers, and the act of a generous god.) Right now I'm considering the possibility of dropping this class, and taking up my parent's offer that they pay for a second class on top of the one free class I will be getting in the Spring. After all, I could then even bump myself up to the ranks of a full-time student, with all the rights and priviliges thereof (official membership in student organizations, student pricing at various places, access to the student health center, and student membership to the University gym.) I'm not totally sure, though, that I'll be able to drop the class (and thusly, the charges), maintain my status as an admitted student, and not be put on academic suspension next semester (or kicked out, due to the relic of a GPA that's still attached to my records.) This basically means that I need to visit the registrar's office, or talk to an academic advisor. Unfortunantly, I've never been really good about that. Hell, if I had gotten off my ass and gone to the Dean of Liberal Arts' office, then I would have been able to change majors, and the $400 in Fine Arts/Theatre fees wouldn't be on my bill. Overall, this is just damn frustrating. Also, I just remembered that my friend, the network guy here at work, will be playing with his band at Stubbs tonight. I promised I'd go, and I will. It's going to pretty much suck up a lot of sleep time for the night, once again ensuring that I'm not well rested enough to take on this weekend. Ah well, yet another thing that I'll be able to bitch/brag about, years down the road... |
