My uncle John is to be sent to Iraq in January. He has to report in next Saturday. The first week he'll be in Monroe, then a month at Fort Bragg, then Polk in Louisiana until Christmas. After Christmas he'll be sent to Iraq where he'll be on foot patrol. I'm not all that worried considering the chance of him getting killed is low. But, it could change between now and then.

I'm worried about school. I'm not sure what I'm going to do after this spring. I need to go talk to Mr. Oittenlflisorkvbp or whatever his name is. All I know is that if I'm going to go after that four year degree then it's going to be at least three more years before I finish. I've already been out of high school for three years, and another three (or more) years in college seems like an eternity. I want to map out exactly what I need to do. I just need to talk to someone that knows about this stuff. I'd really like to go to Pfeiffer since it's so close. I could still live at home which would save tons of money. Speaking of money, if I don't get some type of financial aid I might not be able to go through with it anyway. But, from what a teacher at Norwood Elementary said recently, it shouldn't be that difficult for someone who wants to be a teacher to get aid. I just wish I had all the answers. I'm very worried at the moment.
