makin' up my mind
Haven't blogged in a while, nothing interesting has really happened. But I wanted to share a couple things.
I went to Disneyland today, haven't been in a year or two. That place is fun after edibles. I met this kid who was 16 and was already a senior in college, graduating this upcoming year as a computer programming/engineer major. Blew my mind. I have a 3 day pass thing so we're probably going back like Wednesday, maybe the crowds will die down. Disney is annoying, I hate their media grip and the business sector of it, but whatever. The place is great people watching, but people don't know how to properly walk. My feet hurt too.
But the point of the blog, I made a huge decision this weekend. I thought about it for a week after consulting my parents and I am not returning to LMU in Los Angeles. It was a big step, I feel and my parents support me 310%.
Why? The school isn't meant for me. I really can't explain it. Maybe the closest I can is when you meet a friend, and you like them at first then you start to see the little things and it gets boring and annoying. Like that.
Yeah, I'll miss my friends and the countless amounts of fun I had there, even the missed opportunities, but my education is first in my eyes and I want the absolute best. The school itself did not really take my major seriously, I thought, which is English/Literature. So, why should I waste my money, time and effort into some place that would rather have a bio engineer or a finance major. So I peaced out.
My obvious mistake in that was that I did not research it enough. But what is done is done.
I immediately went into action coming up with several alternatives:
1) My dad's sister, who lives in Germany, offered me to live there for a year and study there for a bit at a local university.
2) I am looking at going to Boston in a few weeks and starting there
3) I am looking at Vassar in New York. It has been a place I've always looked at out of the corner of my eye and their English program is solid. Plus, the demographic suits me really
