First Day of Class

Image
 Classes start today.  I'm taking online classes from SNHU. Nothing too special, but I'm excited nonetheless.  I'm also incredibly overwhelmed.  I took a look at the site (sites?) where everything is and I hope I have a good understanding of how it works. I gotta double check when everything is due. Luckily, I was able to transfer 87 credits out of the required 120. I was surprised, as was my admissions counselor (agent?).  I'm only taking the one class to start out: Mythology. The classes are only about 2 months long and I am only allowed to take up to 2 classes a session, but I'm not complaining. I work a full time job. I was going to stream today (twitch.tv/i_am_wizoko) however, once I got home, I joined my girlfriend and her sister in cleaning the whole apartment to prepare for some lady to make an assessment to the landlord. Fuck landlords I'm hoping this cleaning will make this small apartment roomy enough to sneak my cat here. The landlord only allows one...

Start of Something?

  I am wizoko. Well, my real name is Connor. But for this, I'll go by a handle.  I've been to college. I graduated with a bachelors in Wildlife and Conservation Biology. I spent a few years doing seasonal and temporary jobs. I was an Assistant River Steward, an AmeriCorps member, an Assistant Forester, a summer camp's Nature Specialist, and a Park Ranger. Throughout that, I had a few other odd jobs working at liquor stores, chipping trees, and currently being a Barista.  I'm tired of this. I've struck out in getting a permeant salary job for a few years now. Not that I've truly been passionate about the jobs my field offer. Don't get me wrong: I'm passionate about the importance of the environment and I'm incredibly grateful for the knowledge I gained from my experiences. Working in the field, however, feels empty to me. I feel no impact or fulfillment. All the power to those who find their passion and fulfillment in it.  Why did I choose this field?...
