So this is it.....
I'm leaving. I have to. An opportunity has been presented that I cannot turn down.
My debt is too high, Eckerd is raising tuition, and they only offered me the same amount of money to come back next year as they offered me for this year. Even though I made $40,000 less than the year before. Why the hell is that? Stupid ass financial aid.
So money is an issue. Not counting my student loans I am over $20,000 in debt. Coming back to add two more years tuition on top of that is not a good idea. I need to get out of here and, sad as it is to admit, declare banctrupcy. Once I do that student loans will be near impossible to get. Plus what is the point. I am only majoring in theater. I don't need a degree to act. To do what I want to do, I'm wasting my time here. I'm already more advanced than most people here, and what the faculty can teach me in two years the real world could in less than a day. I don't need to be here.
Besides I've been given an offer from some friends of mine to join them in Chicago in September. There are 27 major theaters in Chicago and people say it is a great place for new people to start. Even Scott says so, and I give that man a lot of world experience credit. So why not?
I'm going to go home, declare banctrupcy, work a couple of full time jobs and go to Chicago next fall with my friends.
There are a lot people here I am going to miss, but this is the best thing for me.
