overthinkage?
So about 3 and a half years ago, I moved up to Atlanta to live with my dad. One of the main reasons was because I dreamed of going to Tech, and getting the Hope to go there (since you had to be a GA resident and all). Everything I did was based on me going to Tech... signing up for Mr. G.'s drafting/architecture classes, going to CMU, quitting IHOP since I was failing precal for a bit... all for Tech. I was stressing over my essays (attempting to get the President's Scholarship, though that didn't work out), trying to get everything in on time... then waited. And waited. And stressed.
I found out today that I got in.Tech was my dream school, for who knows how many years... and I got in.
And the ironic thing is, I'm not going. My dream school, and I'm not going. People have been very 'wtf' about that.
I guess part of it is that they took too long to tell me if I was accepted or not. Last month my dad and I went up to Southern Poly's campus. It was my back-up school, and we decided to go there and check it out in case for whatever reason, I didn't get into Tech. And I fell in love with it. I had decided by that night it was where I wanted to go. Even over Tech.
So a little less than a month ago, I got a letter from Poly saying I was accepted. I talked it over with my dad, and he agreed that Poly would be the better school to go to. Yea, it's a lot cheaper financially, but that's not why (though it's a plus). There was something about that school that just draws me to it. Mostly it's how small it is, I think, and the studios are amazing (how the studios are is a huge thing, considering that's where I'll be spending most of my time the next 5 years...). I didn't even wanna wait to hear from Tech - I was just like 'POLY. NOW. I'M COMMITTING." Which I did, basically. When we went to the campus last Saturday, we signed a Guarantee of Lease, which basically is my promise to accept a residence hall offer when I get one. I was going to Poly for sure.
Figures that a few days later, I get my acceptance letter from Tech. Though I'm really not sure what I'm trying to say by this... Maybe that I'm having second thoughts about going to Poly? I'm not sure... It was what I dreamed of, for so long, then I spend one day on another campus, and decide that's where I wanna go? Gah... I love Poly, I really do, I'm so excited about going there... but then Tech is awesome too. Yea, it's quite huge, but I know a good amount of people going there next year. At Poly, I know zero. No one. I'll get to have a roommate selected for me. That's pretty stressful, since I'm gonna have to live with that person for a year.
Maybe I'm just overthinking things, like I normally do. Probably.
It's all so close now though.. All the other grades have been registering for classes this week, and it's weird that I'm not. Knowing that I'm not coming back to this school next year. Graduation is in about 2 and a half months... 76 days from today, to be exact. That's crazy. Am I ready for that? I was looking at myself for awhile in the mirror last night.. I don't look like I'm gonna be graduating in that short a time. Even at lunch with Daniel and Jesse, I think about it. I look at both of them, and think of how we're going to college in the fall... it's crazy. I refuse to believe it sometimes.
I suppose that's enough rambling for now... I really need to stop thinking too much.
