Get Out of Jail Free Card

Also known as a verification of my degree, I finally managed to secure one this morning after three days of chasing professors and letters around trying to prove my GPA was high enough. Made it by a cool 5 thousands of a point I believe. Had it completely under control. Yep.

So the plan is now to head down to LA sometime later today or maybe tomorrow morning, and spend the weekend getting my act together there. Then I'll be getting dropped off at MEPS bright and early around 4am Monday morning, and hopping on a plane heading East.

Been saying goodbye to a lot of people today, who knows when I'll reappear back on this side of things. Only one thing is for sure, I won't have much hair.

Going to see The Producers on Sunday at 2pm, and then promptly going to sleep, but other than that my weekend should have plenty of gaps for more goodbyes and whatnot, just call my cell.

Today's Word of the Day...

There's this group of people, they call themselves the ALUMNI of UCSB.

As of today, I'm one of them.

Yet Another Waiting Game...

Everything, and I do mean everything, is up in the air right now. I'm hoping to get grades back tomorrow. If they're good as expected, the process will move along, if not, my OTS class is delayed at least six weeks and I start summer session B a couple weeks late. If that works out, then I start trying to get the letters from professors to the registrar, to get the verification I need as well the as getting the transcript process started so they can mail it directly to OTS. Hopefully, that will be given to me by Thursday. If it is, I could potentially be driving to Alabama, leaving very early Friday. I'd have to do a whole lot in a whole little amount of time though, so who knows. If not, I'd fly out Tuesday or possibly Monday, assuming I can switch my plans with the recruiter from driving to flying at such short notice.

So basically, I know nothing at this point, but by the end of tomorrow I should know a little more.
