So, I've switched my major. I decided that I was called to a different path. I love programming a lot...thousands of lines of code, deciphering it all...knowing just one small thing could make or break the program...Programming kept me going in what I will forever call my own personal "Dark Ages of Technological Literacy." Yes, even I used to be a compy newbie. However, that was the eighth grade, and I've grown up and can talk someone through reformatting their computer the right way and know without fail it will work.

Programming, when I had literally nothing else...kept me from going insane. I used to spend hours on a modified version of RedScript, which was an entire theme that worked with mIRC, the Internet Relay Chat client I've always used. I had dubbed it BlueScript, since RedScript revolved around the Soviet side of Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2. BlueScript was obviously the Allied side of the same game. I modified the sounds, implementing sounds directly from the source of the game (with credit). I had to deal with losing all my hard work many times though, as virus after virus struck my computer and I couldn't always back it up. I do still have some bits and pieces of it, however, and I could easily pick it back up again...but right now, my time is better wasted on my college degree, which I better tell you what I changed it to so you can all point and laugh (I actively encourage laughter, since I laughed when I thought about it at first XD)

Now then...I've changed my major from Programming into something completely unrelated, so naturally most of my credits won't apply for it. I don't care. It's still everyone's worst nightmare...Liberal Arts: English Concentration. That's right...Sammo the writer and occasional drawer is now going to become not just a spell checker but a Grammar Nazi

So yeah, I'm majoring in English now. You'll be seeing a LOT more of my homework assignments being posted on here in the coming months. While it's not creative writing, like I was hoping (and since they didn't have a great art program that I thought about but decided against), I took this. I could've done the Education Concentration, but I didn't know if I wanted to really be a teacher, or what level of education I'd want to teach.

Have fun with that thought, my watchers! Look at me, I'm majoring in...*snickers* English! XD

So...remember when I said my mom pretty much lost her job? Well, she hasn't lost it completely yet. My grandmother laid off all workers except my mom and my drunkard of an uncle. I can tell it's going to end very soon...I don't think it will be in operation past the end of this month. So...I don't know what I'm going to do exactly, but I do know that my options will soon be wide open for more financial aid, which means my loans won't have to be drawn as heavily from. In fact, if I get enough grants and such, I may be able to pay back some of my loans. I should be able to do that, since it is being applied to something that was applied for my education. I'll look into it more tomorrow.
