totally. I can afford this college thing. I am thinking I might move to the campus or right off of it and just transfer to a publix grocery store close to the school and just get 25 hours a week so I can afford rent and ramen.

good job man. word to the wise, don't waste your orientation like i did. make some connections and talk to the older kids and professors that are there. friends of mine that i graduated with made those connections, rather than just party, and they stayed with them the whole time they were there. getting in good with a professor before school even started put them way out in front for everything.

There must be about 4 Publixs (would that be Publi) within a stone's throw of UCF campus.

Let me know what your schedule is so I can stay the hell away from Alafaya.

Congratulations Joe.
