I never realized how much I cared...
...until it almost didn't matter. Almost. I still have time to get this application and all my stuff in. Something between now and last week gave me a swift kick in the ass and I realized that omfg I really really want to be accepted to ODU, even if I don't end up going there in the end I'd like thie choice.
This brings to mind several other stressful problems once you get past the hectic process of figuring out how I'm going to pay for everything or whether I'm even getting in. Two schools I'm applying to (originally 3 but everyone knows it's neck and neck between VCU and ODU for me, so let's not pretend and I won't even have to worry about a fee waiver if I don't apply to CNU, so fuck it)...where was I...two schools...that's right. Two schools and if I get accepted to both of them it will wreak absolute havoc upon my psyche.
VCU. Pros. OMG awesome school for the arts, totally crazy Music department which i intend to make full use of despite the fact that I probably won't end up as a music major. Good for Social Studies though I'm not sure they have the courses I would want for that major in Social Services. *Shrug* Placed in a place I'm not familiar with, new experiences galore. Muna's there as well, which makes it OOOOH so tempting.
ODU. Pros. Located close to home. I KNOW they have the courses I need for that Social Services major since my therapist went there for the same classes and recommended me to it. Already met quite a few interesting people from there and like the place. It's located well according to pretty much everywhere I enjoy going. Jhim's there. This is a factor that I'd like to be able to ignore and go about my thoughts more logically but can't. I suck at that however much I enjoy preaching about such things. And finally, I'd be close to the majority of the people I care about but by no means all of them, including my Kissifer and Gyp gyp and extra family.
Wow, the pro's for ODU are longer but are also quite a bit packed with EMOTION. Which is not good in making the most logical decision for your education. Eww. Oh well, entry over. That is all I care to say about the subject and that's all I really can say.... I'm stressing over something when I may not even have a choice.
