Cognitive dissonance?

I feel good about my future.

I'm looking at four more years of college on top of the three I've done so far (counting this semester as part of the three done years since it's pretty much set in stone schedule-wise). I'm looking at having to work while I'm in college to save up for when I go to move out afterwards. I'm looking at very possibly having to work just to stay in college if I can't get a scholarship (although considering my GPA and my poverty, again, securing aid of one form or another shouldn't be too hard). I'm looking at having to take a C++ class this summer so I'm ready to dive into compsci major classes next year. Overall, I'm looking at a road that's going to be long and hard and that's going to keep me from where I want to be for a long time.

But it's a road. It leads somewhere. At the end, assuming I stick with it, I'll have a degree, I'll have money, and I'll be able to take the first plane outta here.

Four years isn't so long.

Well, four and a half, really, considering this semester has only just started. Still not long.

I'll be graduated and ready to go at age 25.

Cool.

Now, I nap.

Yep, if I with my crap GPA could get all kinds of aid, then you should have NO problem.

That does sound like a long road, but you've done well in setting this all down. Just keep your chin up, and don't hesitate to utilize these many windows that we just happen to tantalizingly be standing near if the mood should strike.

Me? Throw people out of windows? Now what sort of thing is that for a scholarly, hard-working student... to...

*looks at window*

*looks away*

*twitches*

*takes a few deep breaths*

*looks at window again*

*tears gaze away*

...

Oh, heck with it. *throws you through approximimately pi-to-the-42nd-power windows*

*winces*

Glad to be of service.

Oh, bother. The Russian judge gave me a horribly low mark. Are there any windows left??

Nope, I used all the rest on the Russian judge.

You'll make it just fine. Probably with honors, yet.

Unless I drop that one class, which I still can't decide whether or not to do even though I only have till Tuesday... *makes face*
