defibrillate

The apartment hunt continues. Because I'm 'the responsible one' I've been put in charge. The upside to this is that if I don't like a place I won't even give my sister or mum a chance to suggest it - I just won't schedule us an appointment to see it. The downside is, despite that, I still have to schedule all the appointments. Not fun, guys.

We might just end up moving into the place I really wanted, which would be great because it's brand new and has fucking nice amenities. I'm big on perks. Thing is, though, I've found 10 or so pre-1950's buildings downtown with super cheap rent. $795-995, and they're not bad. The architecture is pretty cool looking and most of them have been remodeled. I know these are the ones my sister will prefer, and truth be told, I'm fine with them... What it comes down to, I guess, is whichever company can schedule a tour and have paperwork waiting the fastest. The latest I can afford to be moved by is 9/9, so... Yeah. Not a ton of time. Get your shit together and call me, realtors.

My class schedule is approved. Here is what a standard week will look like once school starts, along with two more online classes - Intro to Healthcare and Human Relations in Healthcare Settings. I'm glad this is all gonna get done.

Proposed Plan for My Life

Ongoing: Math & Physics tutoring, because I will fit those two things into my schedule no matter what, so help me.
Possibly: Chinese and Japanese tutoring. Those aren't likely but I'd like them. We'll see.

Fall Quarter: Prereqs, first 3 months of Evergreen volunteer commitment
Winter Quarter: Clinical Laboratory Science I, Phlebotomy I, Basic Pharmacology, second 3 months of Evergreen volunteer commitment
Spring Quarter: Clinical Laboratory Science II, Phlebotomy Externship, Medical Law & Ethics, and some sort of lab work for free for the sake of experience
Summer: MONEY. SAVING. GOD WILLING, A VACATION. Remember how I went on about wanting to travel? Yeah, that's happening. I have a dear friend in Georgia I've promised to visit and a standing invitation to Vietnam.

Following All That
Transfer to UW. Become something. Because, do I want to stay a lab assistant for the rest of my life? Fuck no I don't, but I need a stepping stone since I can't afford a ladder or some metaphorical shit like that, so that's what I'm doing for now. Rest assured I will also do Other Things. Better things. ~~All the things.~~

In conclusion, holy shit, never before have I spent this much money at one time. $2,000.00 in tuition. I know that's fucking NOTHING as far as tuition goes, but still.

I'd like to spend $6,000 I don't have on school this year. You may have noticed that number doubled since the last time I started talking about money for school. That's because the 29-credit certificate I'm aiming to get will actually take 3 quarters due to prereqs (there are 19 introductory credits you need to take CLA1, which you need to take CLA2). So I figure, as long as I have to take the time, I might as well get a phlebotomy certificate and take extra courses like pharmacology and medical law.

Normally I'd be really, really uncomfortable with the idea of borrowing money, but $6,000 is a small loan. According to the company I'm looking at borrowing from, even if my credit score is poor (which I think it is, considering I haven't done much of anything to build credit) my minimum payments would be less than $100 per month - that is, if I wanted to take 20 months to pay back what I borrowed. I'd probably do it quicker.

The plan, then, would be to take some time off school after this year and focus on working to pay back this money. It wouldn't take that long, even if I only landed a part time job.

Yep... I think this may be a sound plan.

I am feeling pretty proud of myself. You know how I said I shouldn't pick up any more comics, back on Free Comic Book Day? I was wrong! It turns out they've been wonderful inspiration for a doujinshi. I just finished the script for the first installment, and well, it's much better than I thought I could do. It's 14 pages exactly. I'm not sure how many pages of comic that's gonna translate to, but I think the script for A Serious House on Serious Earth was pretty short and it was a decently long oneshot.

I was going to set myself a goal of finishing what I have planned so far by the end of the summer, but I really don't think that's realistic. There's what, seven weeks until fall quarter? If I could draw comics at the rate they're serialized in Shonen Jump, I might finish. Could I draw comics as fast as professional mangaka with a staff to help them out, who despite that usually only have time for one meal a day? NO. Most definitely no. So, as far as timeline goes, I have no fucking clue. Especially considering I'll have hospital volunteer hours by the end of this month (I'm sorta thrilled with that, too).

This doujinshi will be wildly unpopular and maybe ten people out of the entire fandom, at a generous estimate, will have anything good to say about it because it contains NOTHING romantic and no nudity. It's very dialogue-driven and has a political flavor to it. I can imagine the hate mail now! （⌒▽⌒）

I don't want to sell it. I just want to publish it online.

( I also have Plans For My Future. )
