I think it's time for an update.
I got accepted to everywhere I applied. So far it's only four schools, but it makes me want to apply to more just to see if I can get in. A part of me wants to apply to UF, just in case I want to go to law school there, but I really can't see myself in Gainsville for undergrad. I always thought that I'd be such an independent and go off to college in another state, but things aren't turning out that way. I have found I'm much more dependent on my family (namely Fiona) and friends than I ever thought I would be. I know I could go out-of-state and be successful, but comfort and proximity to home is really going to be a deciding factor for me. I've recently been evaluating my sucesses/failures and I've realized that I'm not so bad off after all. I just don't want to hold myself back from anything. But what is anything? (Motherfucking Cornell)
One thing I've noticed about myself is that my mind is often times somewhere else and I don't even know where the things that come out of my mouth come from. It's as if my mind and voice are two separate entities and are being controlled by two different things. I've been becoming more in my head lately than usual, and in a way it scares me. It's like there's so much going on that I bask in it mentally but retract in other areas. I've been coming to terms with some issues I've been battling internally. Fighting it takes too much of my energy and time and I've come to accept these realizations.
School is going well. I'm pretty sure I got an A on at least every exam this semester. I cannot wait to graduate and move on. Work is also going well. I'm still so lucky to have such an amazing job and work with such amazing people. I'm off next week for the holidays, recently had the office party at Portofino, and definitely got a huge bonus for Christmas! I love it. And Ron. :) If I happen to stay and go to UWF I'd probably just move up to eventually be a legal assistant. Who knows.
I keep falling in love with people. I think it's more about their individual qualities and the person they are rather than physical attraction, although that's definitely not a factor to rule out.
I can't believe Christmas is Monday.
