I'm not entirely sure if I'm excited about college yet. I've been getting to that point, but it still seems like I'm waiting for something big. Which is unreasonable--all my colleges have contacted me. They came in barrages of two or three two days in a row. And I'm not disappointed about the colleges, just about money. Apparently I don't qualify for any money from Northwestern or University of Chicago, which means by going to either one of those places I'd be consigning myself to $100,000 in debt by the time I graduate.
Not worth it. Screw it, I'm going to University of Virginia. I was accepted into the Echols Scholar program, so I get to skip some of the first year requirements, like writing. But see, I say again and again "Yeah, that's probably where I'll end up going," and it's an exciting prospect, but again, I don't know. My mother and I are visiting Northwestern and Chicago next week during spring break, after Friday when I go to a "Day on the Lawn" at UVA. I feel like I can't completely let go of those Illinois schools until I see them for myself. I hope I don't fall in love.
I really wanted to go to Princeton, though. Their waiting list was notorious last year because they didn't accept any of those hopefuls. I'm not sure if I was completely attached to the Princeton thing, because it was only a dream for a little bit, it's not like I've wanted to go there since I could hold my head up.
