Using my crystal ball...
Schools in Portland operate on a strange quarters system. Instead of Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters that are 14-16 weeks long, we get Fall, Spring, Winter, and Summer semesters that are 8-12 weeks long. Which, on one hand, means that I get to cram a whole lot o' learnin' into a shorter period of time. On the other, ow, my social life.
So we have 3 weeks left of our 8 week summer semester. I'd initially planned on having all sorts of free time to do fun things like "go camping!" or "take a road trip!" which mostly just turned in to "sit on the couch and do homework!" which is okay, but kind of oppressive. I've got about a month off between the end of Summer semester and beginning of Fall. We're going to take advantage of that time to do things like "go camping!" and "go to California for a week!", so the summer won't be a complete bust.
I met with the Computer Science advisor at Portland State University on Wednesday. I should be able to be finished by August '16, which feels like forever away right now, but is not actually and is actually packed full of a jillion credit hours per semester and a continued lack of social life, not that I had friends anyway.
The moral of the story is that school is eating my life, but it'll be worth it to not have to work with a bunch of crying people and their dead cats.
