Second Semester
So, my Christmas break went fairly well. Did a whole bunch of nothing mixed with a whole bunch of chaos. My sister got married on New Years Eve which was quite exciting and a heck of a lot of fun. So now I'm back at school and just had my first 2 days of new classes. I'm only taking 12 credit hours because I'm just not feeling this sophomore year at all. Mostly I think I'm just not feeling this West Lafayette area anymore. I came here for all the wrong reasons but you know, whatever. I just applied to UIC which is the University of Illinois Chicago and I know what you're saying, believe me I know, but I just feel happier in that area and damnit doesn't my happiness count for anything anymore!? I don't even know if I'll get accepted so chill, but if I do I know it will be a big change but I've looked into it. It will only cost me roughly $1000 more than I'm paying right now to go to Purdue, which says something right there about Purdue's cost, and I already have friends there who are ready to support me and help me make the transition and who I can live with. No I won't be spending all my time partying and hanging with friends, I know I have school work to do and things to get done. I also have a better opportunity to find a well paying part-time job, find a better internship and a better job after I graduate. I'm just so miserable right now here which is also hindering on my school work, so you see staying here isn't going to make me a scholastic student either. Yes I'm scared, but I have to at least try. Anyways...This semester consists of Criminology, Criminal Justice, Women and the Law and Introduction to Methods of Social Research II...which in this last class one of our projects is to call random people for a survey...I hate that, more importantly I hate people that do that because they always call at inappropriate hours and no one cares anymore about this kind of thing. So yeah, this semester should be interesting. TTFN
