pathetic post #1

My plan on leaving was forming. I had it narrowed down to two options. Brooklyn College in NYC or Rhode Island College in Providence, RI.

NYC:
+NEW YORK CITY!!!
+cheaper
+has the majors i'm interested in
-worry i'd get too caught up in the city & not focus on my school

RI:
+really fell in love with the college, has great span of majors
+i honestly really want to live in ri, it's the the kind of place i feel like i belong
-the price is a little more than i wanted to pay
+feel like a degree from here would be more highly valued
-/+my boyfriend is going to a school 10 minutes away


I kind of just decided that one day I will rule New York City & that settling down for a couple years & pumping out a bachelor's is a really good idea.

I applied. I was accepted. I started filling out endless financial aid forms, that still have no end in sight. Boyfriend & I kept talking about how happy we are, but really really scared if like this is the right decision/ "what will everybody think?" Though not entirely ready to leave next September, I was emotionally ready.

I've never really had something to look forward to before. I feel like my life has been characterized mostly by a series of disappointments & I've just been waiting for something good to happen to me for so long. As soon as things were coming together boyfriend got too scared & said he didn't want me to go. This was the day before yesterday & I've had time to think about it. I've gone to every extreme, but decided on a medium.

I'm going. Spring 2009.

FALL 2008

I wasn't sure if I was going to try to go away for my final two years of college this fall or in spring. All my decisions were based on how I did not meet the priority deadlines for the fall, but I just realized there are no spring priority deadlines, because they don't reserve any extra money for students applying in spring. So, now all I'm doing is waiting for some acceptance letters to come in. Uhhh I only applied to two schools!

Hey! So my sister has lived back & forth between Detroit & Dallas for the last few years & as of last week, she has moved to Alaska for 4 months. Guess where I've been? Chilling in Texas! Always unhappy. Well maybe she's been unhappy, too, but at least she gets scenery changes. I've never seen mountains!

BUT THAT'S OKAY, FOLKS! I'm gettin' outta here! preferable by the fall of 2008, but for sure by the spring of 2008.
