This summer is unsual for me.
not that it is really any different
besides the fact that i am officially a college sophmore, i think it is because i am starting it out in a funk. Ive been really annoyed with alot of people lately and i dont know wether it is my natural "tired of the usual" part of my personality or i actually have a reason to have a beef. I definately dont want to ruin any friendships but i just cant help the instant reflexes. As in instant reflexes i mean instantaousy responding to something that i disagree with, without any prior thought. Maybe its just me realizing that my friends are human and they have little nuances; just like i do. Unfortunatly i am not one of those people who are going to sit around and let it brush off my shoulder. that is probably the problem. i shoot off my mouth and say something rude or i get combative...which isnt a good thing. especially if you still want to be on good terms with your friends and you want them to want to hang out with you...
other than that i need a job. and some loving. haha.
no seriously. i hate how when someone youre close to starts to get an interest(possiblity) with boy, and all the sudden its like "I need a boyfriend!!" Im not too sure that it is what is best for me, but the notion of a boyfriend sounds awfully appealing right now. I have no idea who would be a good canidate, it seems like all the options are not too appealing, and whoever does sound appealing is just not available (wether they themselves are in a relationship or that they are emotionally immature and unavailable). so im just like ugh.
i really want to get good at surfing this summer. the only bummer is that my board needs to be re-laminated, and since it is all black it needs to be glossed in and the same color--all in all around $105 just to fix it. I took it out this morning and i love my board so much! :) its just so...perfect for me. i actually stood up correctly: before i was going on my knees and then trying to get up from there, but i read this book that showed the correct way to do it. Youre supposed to push up and do a kinda lunge thing with a knee in front--and i did it! it was just so much more...right...than what i was doing before AND i was able to stand! yay! so yeah im going tomorrow so hopefully i can get better and the waves are better.
so i need to make a decison. Point Loma Nazarene or UCSD. seriously its coming up soon.
ok so lets weigh whats good.
Point Loma: (pluses)
the minuses:
TOTAL: Point loma--3
UCSD
Pluses
Lows
TOTAL: UCSD--2
Point Loma : 3 UCSD: 2
so there you have it. obviously point loma won. but that doesnt mean i have made my decision. if it were that plain and clear then i wouldve chosen that, there are alterior motives for wanting to go to UCSD, but i wont name them. i dont know how much these points matter in the real world. i guess it is all up to God and i need to start praying, he knows exactly why i would want to go to each one and knows which is best. so i guess if you could pray for me also that would be wonderful. super sweet wisdom prayer.

ok so lets weigh whats good.
Point Loma: (pluses)
- small campus (i love small campuses),
- christian base and strong christian 'morals' (which is good, something i like),
- has christian classes like 'new testament' and i think that would be really good for me,
- better art program than UCSD (since that is apart of my major),
- has advertising as a concetration in art (which appeals to me),
- 90% acceptance rate into graduate school, have a study abroad program with oxford ( i want to do that),
- everyone on the campus is really friendly ( me gusta mucho),
- lots of hot surfer guys (yes!),
- small classes (si! si!), and
- gorgeous campus (gah! right by the beach!),
- not nearly as competitive as UCSD
- more likely to get a scholarship b/c its private.
the minuses:
- considerably more expensive than UCSD (like $2,000 more),
- small campus (might get tired of it??),
- not really known for their programs in art or history (hmm...boo?),
- not as many resources available as UCSD would have--for history (bummer...), ci
- like a 3 to 1 ratio of boys to girls (booo!),
- not the same amount of prestige as a UC
- not 'as good' of an education compared to UCSD
- more classes to take at mira costa
TOTAL: Point loma--3
UCSD
Pluses
- excellent resources available
- cheaper than point loma ( around 20,000)
- lots of options
- considerably more prestige than point loma
- good if i want to change my major back to a science
- could possibly room with ashliegh
- more guys than girls---better my chances of finding my man
- geekier guys (is that a plus?)
- more academically challenging (pushes me to do better?)
- in la jolla (beautiful campus)
- dont have to take as many classes for gen. ed
Lows
- HUGE camus (ridiculusly)--would get annoying
- pretty crappy art program
- no advertising concentration
- more of a liberal arts type of degree (boo...)
- not the best at a history degree.
- massivly huge classes
- massivly huge competition (boo!)
- least likely to get accepted into grad school because of how many ppl in one class
- intense quarter system
TOTAL: UCSD--2
Point Loma : 3 UCSD: 2
