Daily Post (Josh) 2010-07-01

Productive day today, I think. Spent about 3 hours this morning at PCC, trying to sort things out with advisors and financial aid.

The way things work out, the feds won't give you any money to retake a course, which is what I need to do over the next year - it just doesn't count in their totals. What this ends up meaning is that I'm having to take about half and half retakes and new credit courses. I'll be taking 16 credits in the fall and the feds see me as going to school half-time.

The good news is that I managed to line things up so that I just have two very busy days out of the week for school (at least at school), leaving the rest to maybe generate some cash and support Eden between studying. Even though I'll be at school 12 hours a day on Tuesdays and Thursdays, it's still the best way things could have worked out, I think - it'll give me the most flexibility overall in actually making things work.

For those that might be in range to visit and thus care specifically where I am, the actual schedule is at the end of this post - I'll throw it on google calendar when the actual time gets closer and I can be a bit more sure that this is what I'll end up with.

I also managed to finally kill off a concern that's been bugging me since last year - specifically a doctor's referral way back in November that the school's insurance has been reluctant to pay. Check has been cut and is on it's way, and I have a specific someone to hold responsible if anything goes wrong. Bonus round: I confirmed that pretty much any general practicioner up here that takes Atena will be valid to see over the summer, so I'll be looking into finding one next week to maybe get a neurologist referral and lock down these migraines. They've been a lot less crippling since I stopped the beta blocker, but I'm still concerned.

We capped off the evening with an impulsive visit to the theater, dropping in for a showing of "Knight and Day", with Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz. I have to say, it was a lot better than I had assumed - I was hoping for just decent, but I think it lands healthily in the rewatchable category, save for the final two minutes, wherein every quotable line from earlier in the movie is hammered into the audience. It didn't really detract from the overall movie, but it felt like a weaker finish than it would have been if they'd just let the characters walk off screen without prattling.
