Double good
Today I smiled - twice. I got back my assignment for the management paper I'm doing, and I got a B+. This is the paper that I researched and wrote on my trip around the US, almost exclusively on planes. I wrote the final draft on the flight from New York to Wellington, where, let's say, I had other things on my mind. Not to mention being tired as anything. I can't believe it, I was honestly worried that I wasn't even going to pass, or get a C or C+. Now I'm on course for a decent grade for the class.
In my second piece of good news, I was sitting in class and one of my classmates asked me if I planned to go back to the US. Now, I desperately want to go back to the US (because Cory's there) but realistically I can't (other than for a short holiday) because I've committed to this course of study. And I don't finish (being part-time) until Feb 2005. Which is a long, long time. I realistically can't give up the study, because I'd then be partially-qualified, with little work experience (and good luck trying to find a job in the US right now without decent skills, right?). So my classmate came up with the obvious solution: go back to the US, and keep studying, but do it online. So obvious, but I'd missed it. Half our class already studies via distance learning anyway, so why should it matter if I'm in the US?
So I've solved another part of the puzzle. Now all I need to do is find a way to support myself while I'm in the US. Because I won't be legally able to work (I think), and I don't have any money saved. Time to find a sugar mommy?
