You just moved into a new apartment...if you moved to Oregon, and were back and forth from there, you couldn't foster or look after your own kitties (though I know your husband would).

Maybe keep things on an even keel for now, so you aren't making decisions in a hurry. And it gives you lots of time to apply to these schools and see which one accepts you.

I am just hoping that it does not look bad as this will be my second year off out of high school. I graduated a year and a half early (would have been two and a half years if I had just not been so flippin stubborn about economics!), so maybe that'll balance out. Heh, I am excited about volunteering at some place because even if I don't get paid, I still get to interact with dogs, cats, ferrets, etc and that is what I am all about!

You know, you recommended what I was considering! My parents and Troy had advised me to go that route so that I was still up to date and in the know about things while I was learning (working as a tech while going to school to be a full on vet).

Yeah, and the lease isn't up until next July anyways so I guess I really shouldn't worry about not having financial aid this year.

Heh, I am really high strung (I think) so I think I might make mistakes if I do these things in a rush. Heh.
