i'm home, and i have to make the biggest decision of my life since i decided what high school to go to. I have to decide (in 2 days) what I want to do for schooling because of this hurricane. Here's the deal:
choice a: pay $1500 to go to a transitional school. my mom doesnt have a job right now. her last pay check is at the end of october. so it'll be rough to pay that (plus my sister's schooling, so $3000 really). then i'd go back to dominican (my normal school) in january. They'd refund the $1500 dollars, but i don't think it'll be fun. rushing around trying to get everything done.. it wouldn't be the same.
or
choice b: take a free independent study course at louisiana state university. i'd finish around december, and i'd get a state diploma which is equivalent to a public school diploma. i could get two part time jobs in january, and i could raise enough money to do something exciting this summer.
with both choices i'd have to attend the local community college next august to raise my grades to allow entrance into the school of my choice.. (loyola?) -- having a dominican diploma means nothing at this point, but i do want to be with my friends.
so which is better? risk it.. risk the money and the chance of still having a shitty senior year? to be with my friends.. or be alone, but have the money to hang out on the weekends.. be more independent.. and do something exciting when summer hits?
I feel like i'm choosing whether or not to ditch my friends. gah. wtf. i am to young to make such important decisions. the only thing my mom says is that she wants me to be happy. i appreciate that, but this is rough.
help? i'm leaning greatly towards the independent study thing at lsu. ♥frankie
