Not Engaged Yet

Please tell me that I'm not crazy for doing this

Hiyo!


I am getting ready to head back to school. I need to take organic chem before I even apply for Grad School. In the meantime BF and I have decided that we will save over the next year to year and a half and hopefully only take out loans for tuition and lab costs. I should be able to work part time and go to school full time, and he hopefully will have a job with an airline at that point.


So, I'm not crazy right? I have a house and would sell it so I can move to whichever school is going to be the best bet academically.

    It's never crazy to pursue your dreams -- where the crazy comes in is not having a sensible plan. I don't know your financial situation or how much school will cost you, so I can't really say if your plan is sensible or not. But it sounds pretty good on the surface! :) Have you guys talked about marriage as you've laid out the plans for the next few years?

    Your plan sounds pretty logical and well thought out. Would definitely be interested to hear where (if) marriage plans, etc. fit into that, just for curiosity's sake.

    You seem like you have a pretty good head on your shoulders, so I'm sure you're going to do well in your plans. :)

    ps. Who made the "oh sh*t" icon?!?!? I love them!!! LOL

    I don't think you're crazy!

    And were you applying to a geology/earth science program?  All the programs I've applied to covered my tuition AND paid a stipend for teaching or research assistant jobs.  Make sure you look into something like that.  Unless I'm wrong about what programs you're applying to.

    Actually, San Antonio has been realitively insulated from the housing bubble. Properties have been going up slowly but very steadily.


    And yes, it would be in something environmental, and likely environmental geology. We have been talking about marriage quite a bit, we would take on the debt together and it would be our debt. I asked him if he wanted me to get all the schooling done before we get married and he said that it was something for us to do together. I'm just a little stressed b\c class starts on monday.

    Should I be happy I don't have balls? Tongue out

    I experienced a high of 13 degrees yesterday.  Sweaty balls sounds somewhat appealing.
