...I have an opportunity to get a degree! and a job! and not be on disability forever!
It's looking like I'm in it to win it with Liberty University, in a psychology program. I have transferrable credits, but...we'll see how that goes (lots of classes I took have no LU equivalent, and I have no idea how lenient they are when it comes to fun classes like "Jewish Philosophy," "Feminist Philosophy," and "Stratification.")
This is my final shot at getting a degree and getting into mainstream society. If I had any technical or job skills, I'd just use those and get a job ASAP. I'm one of "those" people--the dorky, inept dudes you may remember from high school--who *needs* a degree to get a job.
Psychology wasn't exactly something I was gung-ho about, but my dad refused to support my first choice (paralegal), because he said I really don't need the pressure of working in a law office. He's right, you know..
So...please praise God with me in advance for giving this nearly 30 year old, recently repentance sinner yet another undeserved chance at a good life. If I get the degree, I can work with those with drug and alcohol issues and support myself, which will mean 1 more person off the disability roles and into society. yay! Good for me, good for society, good for Christ who saved me.
I will excel, given the opportunity. There is no alternative. I'm hoping I can get the degree and move, but I have no idea what God has in store for me.
So pray that all goes well, I get the (much needed) financial aid, and I can get my life on track for the first time...ever, really.
Also, pray with me that people around here will leave me alone. The men are more vocal about their disdain for me, but I think the women are pretty much the same way, honestly. I was effeminate, I was a sodomite, I was a junkie, I was an unrepentant wretch, etc. etc. I get that. I'm also completely different, and working on building a life out of the mess I've created, with Christ's help.
That's about it...
Thanks in advance!
