I love that Nadine and I are so different yet we get along so great. I can handle her and I don't think everyone can handle her. She's going to be really excited when she sees that she made it into my LJ post lol, she was already ecstatic the other day when I mentioned her in my away messages on AIM.
I need to expand my group of friends in the city but I'm scared of reaching out to old friends. I just don't know how to call people again and say, "Hey, what's up, wanna hang out?" Once I start college though I'm sure that will all change.
It's scary to know that I'm 2 years behind most of my friends. I currently really want to go to UIC and dorm there if I can't move out, but to know that everyone I know there is 2 years ahead of me... I don't know, it feels weird. I'll be going through the freshman stuff that they've already gone through and we're all the same age. It's my fault, sure, but it's just gonna feel...odd. It already all feels a little weird. But, regardless, I'm really happy that everything's finally starting to come together and I'll be attending school(seriously) this summer or fall :). I'm going to apply for UIC's summer session, though I might not be able to go because my financial aid won't cover it and I'm not sure that my scholarship will either. If I don't go there in the summer I'll be attending Harold Washington for the summer and fall semester and then hopefully transferring over to UIC in the Spring.
I'm also applying to SIU Carbondale, IADT, NIU, Valparaiso University and I'm considering applying to Columbia, just for the hell of it. There's no way in hell I'd end up at Columbia seeing as how I can't afford it and being up to my neck in debt isn't very appealing to me. If I go to a state school (SIU, UIC, or NIU) it's free for me, all I would have to do is pay for room & board. Very enticing, right?
So! List of things I need to do/goals:
1. Lose weight(dun dun dun! SERIOUSLY. I am not a cute fatty :( )
2. Get a new job. Once I start school it's going to be really hard to do my schedule and go to school.... So, yeah, new job ahoy! I want one desperately anyways, might as well start looking now. Old Navy tried calling me awhile ago about my application maybe I should give them a ring-ring...
3. START COLLEGE. I guess that really isn't a goal, but I just realized that I really only have two things that are imperative, other than school so.. yeah. My list was pointless. :)
