Eat breakfast like a King (or Queen in my case), and dinner like a pauper.
My inner-pauper will have to battle hard to conquer the queen in her regal behavior.
But we shall see who shall prevail this weekend.

EDITED: upon further analysis and research,
forget that last post. i think i got it now.
EDIT: haha so I know I was extremely vague, but I didn't think anyone would be interested in my rambling. So here is my thought process/my plan:
I REALLLY only neeeeed a 0.01Science-GPA boost (at the bare minimum). So pulling out a $6000+ private loan for a 0.04 GPA boost (at USC) is just NOT worth it.
Also, as advised by Erica, community college, no matter how cheap, is out of the question.
So, I am banking on CSULA, but I will try to get UCLA and CSULA at the same time (Jan 4). I got advice that I should just stick with it, and keep going to class because people will continue to drop (hopefully).
But in the meantime, CSUN starts 2 weeks later, so if my chances at CSULA or UCLA aren't looking too good, then I'll try CSUN as well (same procedure/risk).
So there it is.
No real backup plan, but God, I hope it works out =(

kiiind of stressed. =(
So in order to raise my science GPA to a competitive state, I need to take 2 more bio classes.
Issue is, where, when, and will it be possible?
Option 1: the most expensive one =(
-Take both classes at USC (Jan-May)
Option 2: still expensive
-Take one class at USC, one class elsewhere-wherever I can
Option 3: the option I'm most hoping for,
-Take both classes at CSULA, UCLA, or a combo of the two. (ideally, Jan-March)
Option 4: cheapest, but least credible
-Take classes at a community college or two.
So I'm realllly hoping Option 3 works out, but it's the biggest gamble because I'm a sitting duck until January. But, by January, I need to have already registered for a community college, or for USC.
Option 4 is extremely tempting because it's 1/1000th the price of the other options, and siginificantly easier, of course. However, it would look much less legitimate on my transcripts.
Option 1 is the one that I could rely most on, but I would have to take out a FATTTYY loan, which pains my heart.
WHAT DO I DOOOOOOOO =(
maybe i'll register for everything and drop as need be...? but that complicates loan applications too.
GOD HELP ME.
and if you read this entry, can you help me too?
