Now that everything has actually happened and some choices have been made, I can update y'all on my life a little bit.
My university cut my program. It was official as of today, but there has been talk of it since spring semester ended in May. I knew of this talk and my advisor told me that it was most likely happening and I should start thinking about my options. I decided not to worry about it until it actually happened because I was working full time, getting married, etc.
As some of you remember, I was laid off from my full time job. I'm finding out now that it was a result of the program being cut. I wasn't told that because my boss "didn't want to scare me." Gee, thanks, lady.
The options those of us in the program were given was to be rolled into another degree...in a different college. It's a completely different degree and it's not something I would even be interested in.
Anyway, H and I started talking about what we wanted to do after the wedding because now my choices involve him as well. H is done with school May 2013, so he has four more semesters. The program I was in would have been 3 more semesters, but the new program would have been 7. That's not an option considering H will be done with his degree and looking for jobs before I am.
I met with a bunch of different advisors hoping I could find a degree that I would be able to finish in the same amount of time as the other one. No dice. There's one other option, but it's in danger because of budget cuts as well. I'm not even going to take that risk.
We decided that I'm withdrawing from my university. I need to be done with that place. They've laid me off from two jobs, cut my program, and tuition has gone up again. I can go back to school on H is done and we end up wherever he gets a job. So until then, I'm being a SAHW and looking for a part time job for the daytime while he's at school. It's scary, but we've prayed a lot about it and we feel at peace about it.
