So I've left school. Made first quarter, went back after Christmas, then realized nope, this is not a thing that is happening. I am too queer to live in a dorm full of girls, and Drexel is a bit on the strict side when it comes to housing. All of the campus surveys and such had four options for gender: Male/Female/Transgender/Other. The first time I checked Other simply because I could, but somewhere along the line it went from because I can to because I am. Internalized misogyny is still a thing in my inner conflicts, but I'm more settled than I was in September.

Now I have no idea what I'm going to do, this time it's of my own accord, and it' fantastic.

In the direct present I've got to scrounge up a job somewhere, which isn't the easiest thing to do this time of year. Further off into the future, I'm considering a distance program and Mom is encouraging me to look at Evergreen, I think it's called? It's just over in Seattle so I'd be able to come home for the shorter breaks like Thanksgiving, and it's basically a super duper liberal hippie Montessori college founded in the '70s, so bully for them. The thing is, if I want to go home at all while at school, which I do, I desperately do, I'm severely limited in my choices. I thought I could take it, and I couldn't.

I don't know how this'll affect London. It's probably still a thing that can happen, and now I'm not limited in regards to when I can go or how long. It just doesn't seem practical anymore. When I was on the East Coast it was practically right there, just across the ocean. Now, I am literally on the other side of the planet. I really want to go though like, writing friendship love poems to Sara in my head want to go. So, we'll see.

Meanwhile, Green Lantern is the worst fandom to be in right now and I hate everything.

school, life
