The neighborhood is so much quieter now that the neighbors got evicted (they rented) and a new family moved in. I can actually sleep at night without having to hear their parties and dog barking all night long. Yay. They just caused way too much trouble.

I just got my pre-order package with TDWP’s Zombie EP, came with an autographed booklet (great addition to my collection), comic book, and shirt. I’ve been trying not the listen to the whole EP until I actually go it, and now I’m listening to all of it now. It’s awesome!

I thought this was kind of interesting to read, Eating well on $1 a day. This man tried this challenge and succeeded on eating on only $1 a day ($31 a month). A lot of the foods didn’t look appetizing to me, but it’s still interesting.

I’m anxiously awaiting my TDWP pre-order package. I’ve already heard it, but I want the actual thing in my hands. It was shipped yesterday, but has a long way to go from MA to AZ.

There was a news segment on Good Morning America and ABC World News about my school. It freaked me out a bit, but after reading what the school’s president and many other students had to say, I’m not really worried. It all seemed really one sided, focusing on nothing but the negative. The part where the recruiter gave someone false information, that was wrong on her part, but not everyone at the school is like that. They seem to be the biggest target since they’re such a large school. Yes they are a for profit school, but they are accredited. What school doesn’t want to make money? It seems that some students don’t do their research prior to enrolling, and it might not be the right degree program for them for the field they are going into. I don’t really think that’s the school’s fault. By reading the school’s wall on Facebook, there are more positive comments from students than negative. I don’t think any school is perfect, people have bad experiences at a lot of colleges. This school isn’t right for everyone, but it seems like a good fit for me.

I wish Bank of America would stop calling all the time about surveys or their security plans, it’s really annoying. My old bank never called me about anything.

I keep thinking about what happened with that particular family member I mentioned earlier. I guess it’s because I never knew them to act that way and it was really a shock. I shouldn’t let it bother me so much, but I over-think things.

Please give me the strength.

This year, I’m starting off college and I’m moving on to bigger things no doubt. Please give me the strength and wisdom to get through all the obstacles that await me. Please Lord guide me in the right direction. Pray for me.

I found out this morning why my enrollment advisor wouldn’t get back to me. I got a voicemail on my phone from someone saying they are my new advisor. I spoke with her and she told me my original advisor left the school. That’s a shame, because I really liked her. I don’t like that the new one was pushing me into taking student orientation. I’ve already done workshops to familiarize myself with the student website and explained that I’m pretty comfortable with everything. I know how most things on the site work, and I think I’ll do fine. It would probably be a good idea for students who aren’t that familiar with computers or the internet to take it, but I really don’t need it.

I found out that my first courses will be an introduction to university studies, and some type of Science class. I’ll find out more information on these classes closer to my start date. I’m also supposed to write an autobiography of at least 200 words and have that completed before I start class.

I live near an Air Force base, and Sky Harbor, so there is a lot of noise from jets and planes. Most of the noise comes from the jets from the Air Force base, and I heard they are sending out even more jets. Normally I wouldn’t care if it was just a few going by, but they start from early morning until evening, and it’s mostly ongoing.

Maybe I’m worrying a bit too much, but my enrollment advisor has been unreachable, and I have not gotten phone calls from the academic or financial advisors that she said I would. All I really want to know is what my classes are and if everything is ready for when I start. I sent an email to her over a week ago and got no response. She doesn’t seem to be there since calls go straight to voicemail, I left a message hoping she’ll get back to me.
