No Really.
Okay this time I'm serious people, after more funtime shenanigans last night giving me two hours of sleep before even more funtime shenanigans all day today, I am dead tired, but I'm really going to do a big update tomorrow. Guaranteed.

Downer Post
Okay I've decdied to get rid of all the downer stuff with this post, and then post again tomorrow with all the good things that have been happening.
So things didn't turn out quite the way I planned. Most of my grades went fine, one in particular did not. What that means is I didn't graduate, and I'll have to take some courses in summer school to boost my GPA up the bit it needs. As it turns out, this isn't as life altering as was at first expected. I didn't miss it by a gigantic amount, so just by taking a couple courses during Summer Session A I could make up the ground required. To be safe I'll be taking three courses, to allow a little more breathing room. The session ends on July 31st, and my ship date is a week following on the 7th. So not a whole lot of down time there. As it is probably at least a few of the days will be spent chasing grades and transcripts around, so I'll have my final one in hand when I leave.
The living situation should be interesting, I'll be temporarily living with my good friends in their living room basically, at least for a few weeks while I try to find a slightly more comfortable situation (not necessarily for me, but one that causes a minimum of inconvenience for the people involved). I'll be commuting to school which is a pain, but gets me to stay on campus between classes and study hard.
So I don't have to say goodbye to Santa Barbara just yet. Six more weeks will be enjoyed, although for the most part my nose will be in books. The major downside to this whole issue is the $860 for tuition, a bunch for rent and food, and who knows how much for books. Theoretically though, if everything goes as planned (famous last words) I should still be shipping out on my original date for OTS. There will just be a whole lot less playtime in between. Probably would have gotten bored anyway. So all those of you who are going to be in SB for the summer, feel free to hit me up. I might even have a cell phone at that point. Egad.
Next update will include all the fun things I've been doing since and including Commencement, stay tuned.
