Two times recently someone has asked me if I am almost done with school. The answer I give them is sadly, no. Without the school closing stuff I was supposed to be done at the end of this year. I do not know now how long it will be or have any yet of finding out. While UIS has tentatively been approved as one of the teach-out programs, they will not have the official word until the HLC has a meeting in April. The people at UIS prefer to wait until after that meeting has happened before moving too far with any students.

So while I’ve sent my transcripts and filled out an application, there’s just this waiting period now. In the grand scheme of life this is not a huge problem, I just liked having everything laid out before where you knew when the classes were and when you were taking this or that. School for me has currently lost some of its luster as I will not have any more classes with the women my age who I had sort of made friends with.

The intensive I had has been officially dropped and the money borrowed returned to the lender. I really wasn’t up for it at all. The kids had another holiday of school today. Josh has been running a mile every day and Elianna today joined him with some of the still remaining snow. The boys played outside and spied on the kids’ group who was here for a confirmation retreat. They wanted to have a snowball fight with the other kids but they were busy. I had an assignment to turn in so I did that most of the day.
