Hey everyone out there in Dyland if I still have your attention. I'd be surprised if I still did but I just need to write my thoughts out because I've been a little depressed the past few days. YEAH! Big surprise! I know. But things were going fairly well for a while. I got my school life on track and I got my Associates Degree in Liberal Arts. I'm the first person on my mothers side of the family to get this far and the second person on my fathers side to get this far. I'm taking a Paranormal Classics Film and Literature class at Farmingdale this semester which totally rocks but I'm only taking it for fun and the fact that I started Farmingdale with one class. I kind of wanted to end things there the same way. Like collegiate bookends. With that class I'll have 105 credits. I had a few options of where to go to get my Bachelors since I'm set on becoming a collegiate english professor. I wanted to go to New Paltz, which is about an hour and a half-two hours upstate. It's a party college/town but it's also a very laid back and scenic environment. Though I technically graduated in May since I took my the last four years of college into my own hands I was missing one course that I did take in June. So by the time my summer course was done New Paltz was full for the fall. I kind of gave up on that idea and figured I would go to Stonybrook or Old Westbury. I looked into Old Westbury and it looked like a worthless campus. I know I shouldn't be too picky but I only get one chance at a school to finish before I go on to my Masters degree. I've had a great four years at Farmingdale so I wanted to keep the college spirit the same way since I had such a horrible attitude about high school. So I looked at Stonybrook and though their campus is very lifeless I figured they had an English program so I sent my transcript and application to them. Never heard back from them so fuck them! They have a foolish 36 credit transfer requirement anyway and I don't need that many credits to get my Bachelors so it would be a waste of time and money. I could have stayed at Farmingdale but I would have lost a years worth of credits and it would have taken me two years+ to finish there. I see that as a waste of time when I'll be losing apart of my memories there. So I looked towards the Spring semester at New Paltz. I sent my application and had my transcripts sent and had high hopes because I was going to make the deadline but a few days ago I got a letter saying they were full for the spring. I wanted to go there for a few reasons. 1)To get my Bachelors in English at a school that was highly recommended to me because it will take me only a years time. 2)To get a full college experience from going away and 3)To live on my own to prove to my parents and myself that I can. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I pretty much live on my own right now. Even with personal recommendations to New Paltz from some of my professors the spring is out of the question so I will have to wait until next Fall. I won't delay in getting everything set for them so they accept me. I guess it's all right that I'm here a little while longer. I want to save up for my Anime store and my business partners and I are doing fandubs so it's better that I'm around for now. It just sucks because I was really looking forward to a "New Pulse".
Another thing that's been going on lately that doesn't depress me one bit is that all these people I know are getting engaged. I have no plans on getting married though I saw a two bit whore of a psychic when there was a free psychic fair at farmingdale and she kept trying to tell me all these things about my love life that have never happened or will happen. It was a total crock. I wouldn't mind having a child to raise in five to ten years but marriage for me is a sham. I don't believe in it. I'll let everyone else believe in it plus their marriages are an excuse for me to party but my parents barely seem married and it just seems like a forced title from the state. I figured I would get that off my chest. Anyway, I've ranted and I've updated. I hope everyone out there is doing well. Peace out wolves.
