No school for me
The decision has been made--I will not be registered to take any classes this Fall. This assuredely doesn't mean I will not be attending classes, it just means i am not paying to go to class or doing any of the homework assignments (unless I think it might be interesting).
With that decision being made, it begs the question, "What will I be doing with myself?"
My plans are to focus on academics. "Focus on academics!? But I though you are taking a semester off from school?", you ask. Quite honestly, taking classes keeps me binded to doing what I don't really want to do. By not taking classes, hopefully this will free my time (that I would be spending on school work), to do some things I've wanted to do.
"What are these things which you wish to do", you ask?
Well, for one, I will be attending (sitting-in) on classes I think might be interesting. I plan on talking to, and getting in good with, the different professors around campus.
Also, spend time in the library studying things I want to study. Different people's lives, topics of interest. Stuff like that.
Another idea me and a friend have had is to hang out with the different organizations and ministries on campus such as BYX, BSM, Crosstalk, SACA, etc. Get to know the people within the groups better, and network with people. Build relationships.
Help others. Help anyone in need, going out of my way if I have to.
And whatever else comes up.

I'm a way I'm envious, but that's not an option for me now...but the fact that it is for you is very cool. (allthough if I don't get this financial aid mess cleared up I may have more idle time as well)
Just remember that some of the rest of us will still be really tired at times.;)

Sean Raybuck... Yeah, I know the guy. I like him-always have. Though I don't really know what he's doing or talking about; the fact that he's out there doing it though, yeah, I respect it. A lot. It's not everyday you realize that your friend is really really ridiculously good looking and school should not interfere with that. Yeah, it's sweet. I know.

Ah dude responsibility is a cruel mistress, but one that must be tackled at some point at times. Welcome to my rent and everything paying world. At least you don't have to pay for overpriced textbooks.:)
Dude I'm freaking living in San Marcos next year, the prodigal son returns and stuff. Good times will ensue. I'm totally walking to school which should be a big improvement over last year's commute.
