Here For Now
Despite the many invitations from my sister to live with her in Jeff. City, I've decided to stay put. Much credit goes to Allison, for this:
Allison G.: i dont like the jeff city idea
Allison G.: even for non-selfish reasons
Kevin: elaborate
Allison G.: well while everyone should try to leave stl, except those i hate, i dont see another city in missouri being any better
Allison G.: ive never been to jeff city myself but ive never heard a good thing about it
Allison G.: and it is an even smaller city thatn stl and due to its location, i imagine more close-minded and prolly more religious as well
Allison G.: i think the main reason youd have to go is to get away from your mom, which i think is becoming increasingly unimportant
Allison G.: i think you are learning how to tolerate her and you are gaining independance
Allison G.: you no longer depend on her much and therefore she has a decreasing amount of influence over you
Allison G.: while she can still make you miserable to a certain extent, i dunno if she is good enough reason to go
Allison G.: while you say youd come back to visit via amtrak, the likelihood isnt good honestly
Allison G.: therefore, all new friends are pretty much required and i dont know that they would be more accepting in general down there
Allison G.: i think you need to finish school at metro
Allison G.: dropping ib and leaving metro seems like a bad idea for your situation
Allison G.: metro doesnt seem to conflict with you too badly in most ways and so i think you should try to get what you can from it
Allison G.: plus switching schools your senior year would suck
Kevin: (don't drop ib?)
Allison G.: no
Allison G.: i think you need to drop ib
Allison G.: but dropping ib AND leaving metro sounds bad to me
Kevin: (stick with ib art?)
Allison G.: if you think you should
Allison G.: i think that might be good
And leaving would mean saying goodbye to the magazine. We just can't do that, can we?
