Well, as some of my friends here know, I have been taking the remainder of my classes this summer.  I finished up my internship class today, and I still have critical thinking class to finish up, which will be completed on July 28th, then I'll be done for the summer, woohoo!!

next I'll be going for my bachelors at Indiana Tech. I think instead of starting right away like I had originally planned, I'm going to wait a year or two.  I'm going to see if I can locate permanent employment with my Associates, and if not, then wait until 2009 to go for my Bachelors, since I'll qualify for more student financial aid at that time.  I want to go for a Bachelors degree rather I locate permanent employment or not, but it just depends on what my financial status is like at that time. 

Since I'm single, I'll qualify for more Aid, but at the same time, its hard to live on Social Security Disability, so I may end up finding permanent employment first.   I just have to hope if I do find permanent employment, I can still go back to college later. I hope so,  I guess we'll see how it goes, because I'm sure if I do find permanent employment, its not going to be much more then I get on Social Security Disability, probably even less.

I had been making plans to visit my girlfriend for a week in August, ya know just to goto church together and such. I had no plans of sleeping with her or hurting her in any way,  then if that worked out, go up and visit her parents and possibly live there if they accepted me into their family, but now those plans have been changed due to recent events in our relationship status with threats against my life, so I will just stay here in Indiana instead and go for my Bachelors degree like i had originally planned.  I was originally going to move up there when I had the money saved for an airplane flight and U-Hall, and since I knew it was going to take me at least a year to save up that  kind of money, get to know her and her parents better, possibly get re-married in a year or two, but now all those plans have been changed due to the recent threats against my life, now I am not dating anyone anymore due to miscommunication problems and I plan on staying that way for a very long time.  I'm not messing around with girls anymore, all they do is get me into trouble.  I would just meet someone here in town and not mess with long distance relationships anymore, but its kinda hard to meet anyone here in town either when you can't drive a car. so I don't even want to try to do that now. I'm better off just staying single for the rest of my life.   I still want kids of my own yeah, but after recent events, I've learned no girl is worth all this trouble, no girl.  They just don't understand that when your Legally Blind, and unemployed, you can't just pack up and move to another state, it takes years to save up the money to do something like that, because for one thing, you have to hire someone to do the moving for you, you can't just pack up and leave when you can't drive a car, especially when you have no credit score established, so I figured I'm better off alone.
