Am I even on the right week?

Well, Let's hope so. So basically, the way I ended up here in Wisconsin, and at college was semi round about. I graduated high school and went IMMEDIATELY into the Army. I signed up the GI Bill, knowing that my family couldn't afford to send me to college by themselves, so I made the sacrifice and commitment to pull the greater weight of fitting the bill(or Uncle Sam and the Federal taxpayers, THANKS!.) After getting out I had 36 months or 36 thousand dollars to spend on schooling, I figured I could make the most of it. Military life wasn't for me, so applied to a small private university in Michigan. I had an idea of what I wanted to pursue iin academia, but I worked on my gen ed while up there. Military life had too much regulations to abide for, and I was too individualistic. Sure, C4 and .50cal machine guns are fun, but the structure reminded me of living under constant paternal watch, always making sure to make sure you don't do anything too stupid. I felt college would offer a different lifestyle that allowed me to take responsibility for my actions.
Now concerning why I'm here, at the University of Wisconsin, can be explained by wanting a higher education. I was originally at a more technical institution that didn't offer a Bachelors. So once graduating there with a video production degree, I looked for the next step and applied. I was very stoked to getting accepted, especially since I never took teh SATs or ACTs(I'm actually proud of that fact for some odd reason). I felt armed with my experience and prior degree, I could come to the University of Wisconsin and become a developed and experienced person within my profession.
