A quick update....So many changes...so little time...
Okay. So I have some big life changes going on here. Again. They've sort of been in the making for awhile now but since I stink at updating its going to seem a bit crazy.
So I'm moving to Manhattan in January. Why you ask? (Or at least you would ask, if you are still following my journal...but you may have given up on me. ah well.) Last Spring I got into Columbia University. And, well, that's just too great of an opportunity to give up. When I graduated high school my grades were.... well. the word "bad" would be a fair assessment. I ran a "c" average. Mainly because I didn't do anything. So the fact that I was able to get into Columbia... well. I really want to take my acceptance letter to my old high school and shove it in a few faces.
But I digress. So I'm going to up and move across the country once again, take on a new adventure and who knows, maybe I'll actually prove to be smart.
When I decided to defer last spring to buy myself one last semester at SMC in order to graduate with my AA, I thought I had all the time in the world. Now I am 3 weeks away from the long drive back to Canada, and 5 weeks away from my flight to New York. And I am... well. Saying that I am "scared shitless" would be a colossal understatement. I have no idea where I'm going to live. I have no idea where I'm going to park my car next fall. (I hope to ship it to New York at the end of spring so that I can drive to camp this year)... (on the bright side i do know that I have a summer job!) And I'm freaking out because I'm about to leave my favorite place in the world for who knows how long... Is there any gentle way to explain to my family that I am homesick not for Canada, but for California?
Anyways. That's about all I have time for, for now.
I hope this update makes some sort of sense... my brain is sort of all over the place these days...
