(no subject)
I suppose it's time for a post.
Last weekend I went out of town with Nick's family. We went to Buffalo River to go canoeing. I had to meet extended family and hang out with them! It was scary, but I survived. They are really fun people. I enjoyed myself, however, Nick and I are not very good at steering a canoe. We both got a lot better though. We canoed 10 miles, so it was all day long. I got sunburned, but not as bad as poor little Nick. I burned about as bad as I ever burn though, so it was no bueno. I stayed in Tulsa Sunday night and drove back EARLY Monday morning. I was so busy Monday that I had to stay up late and wake up early to finish my stuff for Tuesday. Two 6 a.m.'s in a row...sucky! I'm really tired, and I have some time today, so I think I'll nap!
I just signed another year long lease with Summer Pointe. Was that a good idea? Overall, I'm happy with them and I love my apartment and hate moving...BUT there is a chance I will study abroad, and I dont want to break my lease. It will cost me $560! But for a shorter lease, I would have had to pay an extra $30 a month, which is less if I decide to go, but more if I can't/don't. I didn't know. Whatever. This is what I did.
I'm having second thoughts about studying abroad. Well, for a semester. It's completely terrifying and the closer it gets to deciding the more stressed I get and the more I want to back out. First, I have to worry about all my furniture and stuff. Second, I have to worry about the extra financial burden. Thirdly, I have to worry about being in a new country where I don't know the language or anything and having to take classes in Spanish! Fourthly, I have to worry about leaving my family, friends, and wonderful boyfriend behind for 6 months! That is a long time. It's all so scary, but it could be one of the most amazing experiences ever. Something I'd love to do...but not. I'd learn a new language (really well) and I'd live somewhere other than Oklahoma, USA. But what if I hate it? What if I don't make any friends and stay stressed and confused for so long? I'll miss everyone and OU. Plus! It will put me more behind in journalism, because I won't be able to take any of those in Spain. That's not good either. I might have to stay an extra semester on campus...which is more money. On the other hand, I don't want to regret having this opportunity and not using it. I mean, this is the time in my life when I can, before I get married and have children and other obligations. This is when I CAN do something like this, I don't want to blow it cuz I'm a pussy. Another thing I've thought about is what if I come back all different? Will I lose friends, either because they don't like the new me, or they've moved on while I was away? Why does this continue to get harder and more confusing? Any advice?
