OK I have just spent hours browsing the websites for URI and JW. And only one word can describe my current state of mind.
DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH
I am very rarely flustered let alone overwhelmed and I sit here completly clueless. WTF.
I know I need to apply. I know I need financial aid. I know I have a GED and one lonely credit from CCRI. I know what I want to do and what it's going to take to get a job in that field. I do not know what the fuck I'm suppose to do first. There's a billion vague webpages saying to fill out this form and that. But which am I suppose to do first.
Is it stupid to ask for financial aid when I haven't even been accepted yet, and therefore don't know how much I need?
Should I apply for it first so it'll be ready in time?
I'm not an undergraduate being 24 but the only other category is transfer. Is my one CCRI credit even transferable?
Am I a transfer, a 24 year old freshman, or other?
I want to shoot my guidance counsellor for not preparing me for any of this. Cuz he thought I'd be deported before college became an issue. I wanna shoot myself for doing my darndest to prove him right at the time.
What college is gonna want a guy who's juvenile record could make a Taliban fanatic speachless?
Am I wasting my time?
Grr it's so frustrating. But I need to do this. I can't make this ridiculous money anymore. I'm working backbreaking hours just to make the same as my peers who do 36 hour weeks.
My cousin says I must have been a prince in a former life cuz I can't seem to stomach my mild surroundings. She's right in a way. I demand more. And I'll get it if it kills me.
The Cap will be an Admiral some day.

Well I know when I was going to apply for CCRI the first thing I had to do was fill out classes. then it was financial aid after that. But your in a little diffrent situation. I dont really follow the age thing does that make a diffrence on what your app says? Juvi records are sealed so dont worry about those. Kids scew up its in there nature. What I woudl do if I were you is go down to the college you want to go to get a book of couses, then see there counselor. Uusally there pretty good. I know you work allot so you may have to take a day outa work. HOpefully this all helps.

Well the problem is I don't know the first thing about this process. Most undergraduates have a guidance councelor or parents helpin them out. And most transfers already have experience in college. Turns out I am technically all of the above. An undergraduate who can waver half the process due to my simply attending CCRI. Nevermind if I passed any courses. I had an appointment with a guy today. From him I guess I'm pretty much accepted paperwork pending. However do to my age certain things are gonaa be kind of different. A 24 year old freshman can't be accepted to follow the same rules as an 18 year old. So things like dorm rules. Certain fraternity rules. And the no freshman alcohol policy won't apply to me. To be honest I'm not to sure on the whole greek thing. I'm a 1st generation american male for my family. I'm basically responsible for all american traditions that my family is gonna follow from now on. If I go to college then it's on me if I don't then it falls to my kids to be the first. 
However lately I'm actually startin to consider it because for starters it's a good career move. Plus I'd be a god in a fraternity. I know all the evil tricks. On the negative side me surrounded by a bunch of screaming 19 year old drunk desperatly trying to get laid may get on my nerves. O well desicions desicions.
