well...time for another update i think. this time, i actually have some things to rant about...mainly because i am super stressed and i think this is a good place to at least release some steam. though nothing will really come of it...it's better than just, i don't know...killing something.
so, basically...vcu housing sucks. they are pretty much screwing me out of a place to live next semester. i'm uber pissed about this, 1. because they don't really warn you that they are going to do that until you've already been at the damn school for a year, thinking that you can always find a dorm to stay in and 2. this is just a LOT of excess stress that i don't need. basically, my options have come down to this:
i can sign up for this stupid list...so that IN CASE someone decides they don't want to live on campus, i can maybe get the slot they had (so i have a miniscule chance of finding somewhere to live).
OR
i need to find an apartment. i have a couple issues with this as of this particular moment. i don't have that much money, so an apartment is going to be very difficult to pay for. i would need to find a job out here, get my car down here, and basically LIVE in richmond...which honestly, i don't think i really WANT to do. however, i would do it if i had to. unfortunately, the main issue that seems to be coming up is my FATHER. he would just as soon have me transfer to GMU...and i honestly don't want to do that either. first of all, i have a scholarship at VCU which i, of course, lose if i switch schools. secondly, i have actually made a few friends out here that i would like to be around, even if only some of the time. plus, TRANSFERRING IS A PAIN IN MY ASS. it might be easier for my dad...but this is MY fucking education. MINE. everytime i try to talk to him about options...the ONE that HE wants to focus on is me transferring to george mason. i know exactly what he will do too...he'll want to make me commute. he tries telling me that the area is going to be full of people trying to take advantage of students with leasing...NO SHIT. this is why i am trying to get his help...but honestly, every time i try to talk to him about it...he just stresses me the hell out. this is the second day in a row that i feel like shit because he has left me with this hopeless sense of dread due to this housing situation.
this whole lottery thing is FUCKING STUPID. why the hell would you accept students you can't house?! this is REALLY not cool...not cool at all.
in other news, i have a lot of homework and studying to do that is piling up on top of me...so i should really be going. i just needed to rant for a minute...i'm done now. i don't feel any better...i thought i might, but i oh well. ta.
