Boomer...Longhorn?
Earlier this week I was walking down the stairs when I got a call from Brent. He sadly told me the unfortunate news that he would not be coming up to Oklahoma next year, and thus would not be able to be my roommate. I wasn't angry with him, because I understand that people have their own shit to deal with and (though some of you may not believe so) I realize that the world does not revolve around me. Regardless, this left me in a dire situation. Alex had already left me. Strike one. I was okay this semester because I had the propect of Brent coming up here, and we could at least hate things together. Now Brent had gotten out before he had even gotten in. Strike two. What Brent's news did make me do, however, was revaluate what I was doing, where I was going. and how much I was actually enjoying my time. I had said myself time after time that Norman sucked, and that OU was the only thing that Oklahoma had to offer. I figured that at least I would be fine during football season, because outside of that time, I was not offered any outside stimulation. Then I got an e-mail about this week's RUF/NEK meeting. It said that if you planned to be active this semester (and without being active this semester you would not be allowed to be active during the fall) that attendance at the meeting was required. Since the meeting, and many of the games, are on Wednesdays, when I have class, I can't attend either. And thus there is no way I could achieve the point total in our new point system. And there is no way in the dark depths of hell that I would be attending any number of baseball games. I would be inactive during football season. Strike three. I began to look at other schools for transfer. NYU was too expensive, Pepperdine's journalism program sucked, and the University of Miami was too ghetto. I turned to the most unlikely of candidates: The University of Texas at Austin. So after a talk with the parents, I am officially applying for transfer to UT. Everything is due March 1st. I have already filled out the application and written my first essay. Unfortunately, one thing stand in my way. I have already signed a lease on an apartment here, and it is a legal document and can not be terminated. There are only two ways I can get out of it: military service or finding someone else to take it. If I am stuck with the apartment, I am stuck at OU. So now I pray that I a) get accepted to UT, and to the college of communication, and b) get someone to take my apartment, I ask that you do so as well.
