Man, there are so many things to consider when choosing schools! IF SD and Irvine where people, I could peg personalities on them. UCSD seems a bit more noble, and also a bit more arrogant. they absolutely blew my socks off during transfer day this last Saturday. It helped that they had us enter through the medical school. colors, information, and music everywhere. The Geisel library was beautiful, AND they have a Jamba Juice on campas. BUT they don't offer guaranteed housing to transfer students. I could try the waiting list, which I think I'll do since I don't have any sort of credit to get an apartment. Unless I can get Daniel to move down there with me, of course.

Irvine I haven't checked out yet, and plan to as soon as my car is out of the shop. Even without checking the campus though, Irvine seems much more inviting and accommodating. They already sent me an email saying they'll give me $5000 a year that I wont have to pay back, and that I have until June 1st to apply for guaranteed transfer housing. UCSD hasn't mentioned any grants and I doubt they will. It's all exciting though!

My parents came down this weekend and it was a good time. We went to SD, my work, the swap meet, and the movies. They almost went the whole time without dragging me into their little silliness too, so that was nice. I'll tell ya, I'll be much less stressed when I have to rely on banks instead of parents for money. Banks seem to handle money a little better than the Minick family.

One day at a time...
