I decided a while ago to return to school to pursue a degree in finance. I really want to be able to get my degree and then work for the OCC while I get my master’s degree.

Actually, that’s not right. I wanted to be able to finish my 120 hour degree in the Texas Tech system and then use the Hazelwood act to finish my masters before I got a job, but since I have so many (now unneccesary) credits in chemistry I will break 150 total hours before I graduate.

First semester classes are registered for:

  • Principles of Accounting
  • US Govt II
  • Principles of MicroEconomics
  • Principles of MacroEconomics
  • basic stupid “Here’s how to use the computer” course
  • Business Math I

so with 18 hours my first time back into school in YEARS, I’m gonna be a busy busy person starting January 20th.

  3. upgrading wordpress is getting easier and easier every time they roll out a new patch

Apparently Obama’s plan to require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year (something usually reserved by the courts as a punishment for criminal offense) has been out for a while and has even been reported numerous times. Funny though, I haven’t heard anything about this on any of the debates or on any of the major news networks.
