Oi last few days have not been good for me but good news is I'm better now and have gotten things arranged so I can talk about this. 

So, as many of you know I was due to graduate in July on the 23rd and be officially done with college. That is no longer the case.

Due to being one class short, I can not receive my degree of the bachelor of arts. 

This hit me hard since I was in the mindset I was finally done and won’t deny I cried for a bit due to this in combination with stress and being sick. (What supposedly an ear infection, turned out to be clogged ears which I got fixed today.) But after chatting with my folks and looking things over we have a new plan.

I will still walk in July as planned. Family will come up to see me and then, unlike most summers, I will actually be going home during the 8 week break. I need time to recuperate and time out of the college area and my job and just spend time with my mom, my dad and my cat and work on stuff like building my Patreon and many other things. 

The plan is I will go back in September to take the class I need, along with one other class I wanted and finish up then. So the new due date for me to be officially done with school will be sometime in December. Reason I’m walking in July is because we already had things planned and it’s the only time all of my family can come so best to do it now. It’s nice the college allows us to walk a semester before we finish, makes it nice for those like me who can be inconvenienced by certain time slots. So in December I’ll just be packing up and heading straight home and then on my family’s annual Disney Land trip instead of graduation. 

So… Yeah. That happened. Last few days have been kind of an emotional roller coaster for me but I’m getting better. Just need to get myself together again. 

And that’s all you really need to know. 

Thanks for reading.
