I like to draw lines into my future so I can feel like I know where I'm going. What is unfortunate about these lines is that I'm always erasing them and drawing new ones, so I don't actually know anything.
Whitman has a 3/2 engineering program and a 3/3 law program and both go to Columbia University for the graduate work. I want Omar and I to both go into one of the programs because I think it would be good for us to leave the Northwest and small towns behind, even if it is only for two or three years. New York would be an experience and I think it would help us decide what kind of place we want to live when we're older.
Omar is so unsure of himself, though. It's amazing to me how someone like him can even broach low self-esteem. He's not sure if he could compete enough to qualify for graduate work at Columbia, but I know he can. I'm more inclined to be worried about myself.
I can't wait to get away from my house. Everyone is so fractious and I feel constantly attacked. It will be nice to be somewhere that I won't be called a "fat fucking nerd" everyday.
