Updates

As my last "update" post I was letting the world know that my plans were to join the Air Force ROTC program to finish school. This was going to be feasible with a scholarships from NMSU and the scholarships with the ROTC to pay for my classes. I have been waiting roughly two months to see what my award would be from NMSU - and I'm still waiting. They haven't awarded me anything and they are unsure when/if/or what I will get from them. I have also been told that the ROTC program is in a "financial freeze" so that they can not take new students on and expect to have any financial aid to give them. "But they have all confidence that by the time I quit my job and move back to Las Cruces they should hopefully have money to give me some time in October".... which is great if you don't take into consideration that 1. I need to have the money to move, 2. Pay for my dorms 3. Pay for my classes 4. pay my bills and start school.... Doesn't seem like the the smartest choice to join up any more, right? So my new plan at the moment is to just wait. As difficult at that is for me (and boy oh boy am I NOT patient) I will just wait and see if I get any kind of financial aid. If I don't get any aid then I will continue with my desire to save money and travel. My first idea would be to go to Peru to see the Inca ruins Machu Picchu.... but I'm also seriously considering going to Guatemala and staying for 3 months while attending classes to learn Spanish... I will post more info on these ideas in the future... as I am just starting to explore the other potential options. I have done a lot of thinking (which it seems that it is all I do) and I have realized that working a job (mainly my families pizza place) part of the year and saving all my money to allow me to travel to some foreign country the rest of the time would really make me the happiest... So while I am waiting to see if I get any news from NMSU I will just bide my time and start looking at other options. Maybe actually write a bit, and work on my photography. ^^
