My first year of university was a complete and utter failure ha! I went, and did horribly, mostly because I wasn't ready to go to university especially not straight out of high school! So why did I go you ask? Well mostly it was because of my parents, my mom saying how she would love to have a university student and she'd be so proud, you know...parent stuff. Well I sure showed her eh? Seriously though, that was an awful year and I did so terrible. I almost dropped out after first semester which now that I think about it could have been rather beneficial because now I want to go back to school and I am in fact, this fall. However, it's so expensive to go to school that I can't afford it on my own and I'm doing my best to try to avoid getting student loans because when I'm done school I don't want that huge amount of debt on my shoulders, that's no way to start off life. So I've been trying to find bursaries and things like that which I can apply for and it's really really difficult because I did so completely rotten my first year. But I'm going to the best I can with what I'm given and definitely continue to work a LOT after I get back from Europe, if I'm lucky I can get in three paychecks before school starts which will be more than enough for first semester..it's the second that worries me! So I'll have to be super frugal, or get a really really good paying job...fat chance! Anyways, we'll see what happens, in the meantime I'm just going to focus on my trip and try not to worry about school too much! Oh the wonders of youth....*sigh*
Cheers!
