They have a community college in Oceanside that I could go to but it's too far, like forty minutes or something or I'd walk my ass to school haha. Yes I want forensics, but you have to earn that part. If I just wanted to be a lab tech I could go to one of the specialization universities in like Kentucky lol... But I want to be at the sociology/criminology end of things so I'll need to say, major in criminal justice or criminology with a concentration in forensic science (there's a ton of forensic jobs to choose from, anthropology, dentistry, chemistry or biology, serology- study of blood, etc.). Also, I would probably need to go past a bachelor's degree with today's competative economy. See, I've planned this all out to a t. I've researched every college and university that supports forensics and I have my "dream school" picked out hah. Most likely I would get my general education at a community college because, from what I've heard, that part is basically the same if your paying 5 grand or 500 grand lol. Correct me if I'm wrong. And I have applied (thinking I was getting a car) for financial aid at the college in Oceanside and I qualify for the Pell Grant and this other one but I forget. Plus, the military is starting to pay the dependents way for school as well now with the GI Bill. I'd save that for a university though, where I'd need it haha. Wow I just totally bored you out of your life huh? I get excited about this stuff. Sorry haha. I've been thinking that when Mike deploys (supposedly in May) I'll come back to Santee and go to Grossmomt- it's literally the dream community college for forensic people. They are almost the only one in the nation that have a general ed program partnered with forensics... It's supposed to be one of the most rigerous as well. I want to goooo sooo bad!!!! Haha. It's just the transport thing, literally something so dumb. I think I'll start entering those contests to win those cars in the mall haha. Desperate times dammit!

So, Teachers for America is a Non-Profit Organization that sends recent college grads to teach in poorer, either rural or full of children of difficult socio-economical backgrounds. It's pretty amazing and I hope to go to a big city on the left coast, if I get it. But that's way advanced thinking. Fingers crossed.
