So after high school, I wanted to live the good life and work for a year, save up, and party to the hardest. So I did that, realized that I wanted an education and get a career. I decided I wanted to be a dog trainer. I love animals, all kinds, if I had to make a list of my animals, it would be 3 dogs, 2 cats, a ferret, a bird and 2 mice. Its the whole fricken food chain! Anyway, I figured, what better to do than to pursue a career in the field of animals?!? So I went to "Dog College", (that's not its name but I don't want to get in trouble for bad mouthing them), the college is actually in California, it's a beautiful campus. So I signed up to do it online from here in Florida.
The program was supposed to be completed in 16 weeks, 14 at the earliest. I got about 12 weeks into it and was SO tired of working with dog's and their owner's I called dog college and told them to put my account on hiatus. Well, after that I went back to school at an actual college here in Orlando, and have just recently(in the past 8 months) declared my major. So, dog college calls me up a few weeks ago and pretty much said, "Hey ASS, we know you dont want to become a dog trainer, but you signed up for this crazy freaky payment plan and you cant finish paying it off until you finish the program." So, im taking 5 classes at college here, I am already so overloaded with homework and upcoming exams, and dog college tells me that I can skip the last two steps (volunteering and being a mentor to a newer student) by just automatically taking 5 points off my final exam. I took that minus five points in a heartbeat! So they sent me my final and told me I had a week to finish it starting last Monday. It was 150 multiple choice and 45 essay questions. I wanted to cry. Last week was the week of 3 exams in actual human college. I don't think I slept for at least four days. All my hard work, and determination payed off though!! I passed all three exams with flying colors and I will find out Tuesday if I am a certified dog trainer.The good part, the only reason im not kicking myself for wasting the 4,787 dollars on dog college is, it gives me something to fall back on if I want a career change when im older. So now its back to the grindstone of human college, finals are coming up, presentations are due, but I figured out my schedule for this year and its looking like I dont have to take 6 classes each semester until I graduate! I can take 2 classes over summer, that way I only have to take 4 classes this fall and 4 classes next spring and im done!! I am so excited to be able to say I will have my AA by next spring! Took me long enough. :)
I also have been working about 45 hours per week since we lost an employee a few weeks ago, so not much has been going on. Posts will resume on a more regular basis hopefully soon.
