What now you ask?

Here's the answer:

I'm attending an academy that Arapahoe Community College puts on at it's campus. So it's just like going to school, I'm taking out loans to pay for it and applying for grants. The departments who would have paid for me to go through the academy (and paid me while I was attending) required 60 semester hours and I only have half of that right now. After a lot of research it just made more sense to go through a school because I can choose what department I want to work for in the end. Along with the stuff I mentioned in the last post, I have to go back and talk to Financial Aid and see if I can take out more loans since I won't be able to work while going to school. The director of the academy showed me the schedule for last year and it was 6 days a week with classes at night too. Sometimes they schedule things on the day off like when they cancel classes and need to reschedule or there is just a lot of curriculum to go over. It's gonna be an intense 16 1/2 weeks, but I'm so stoked and I can't wait for the challenge. I actually get a little teary eyed when I think about graduating. Of course, I cried at the movie, "Stuart Little", so that's not saying much, but know that I'm VERY EXCITE!!!!

Congrats man!!! Great Congrats!!! I'll call you in person soon, and we will go out to eat for celebration once my schedule cools down a little.
Now we can be miserable together when that 10th week of school comes around!

YEAH!!! We can both be miserable and drive our wives insane!! Sounds like a brilliant plan.

I left you a message about this, but maybe you'll get this faster. I joined Planet Fitness and I can bring a guest for free every time I go. If you want, we can go work out the nights our wives don't or we can try to do it when we were running. Just FYI.
