Home, whatever that is...
I'm back "home" for the week, and it's kind of strange to me. I never intended to move back to Rochester early. Or at least i didn't have that intention ever in the first 2/3rds of the year. On the other hand i didn't intend on being crazy about Luke either, but life has a way of happening like that. I guess what i want to say is, that "home" doesn't really feel that way anymore. I guess you'd have to come to feel that way about a place that you no longer live.
Although i can't complain about life one bit, i have a UC pinned down for the fall. Which i got last minute, and is better than living in building 28 with a random stranger. I'm really looking forward to buying things for the apartment dishes etc.
i'm thinking that next year is going to be interesting. I'm a bit worried about money tho' which means that i'm going to probably freak out and try to work more than i should next year. i tell myself it'd be better to not work as much and get the most out of the 18 credits that rit makes you pay for each quarter.
this brings up another topic at hand- tuition and rit. the thing that i never really understand is that they total the amount that they think that it will cost it's 30Gs and some change then they deduct a bit more than half and you still end up paying around 2/3 of that 15Gs in the first quarter of being there. then they say hey it's also going to cost you about 1,600 just for living expenses for the year. Now answer me this, why is it that they count the 2Gs that you're supposed to make at a work-study from what you owe for tuition when it'll cost you at least that much for personal expenses? So not only will you end up taking out loans for your work-study because you live on it, you have to take out more loans because they charge you way more than they should for things like random hidden cost x and y. I'm doing the math here and i just wish that a state school would have had the program that i wanted, and that it would have rocked as hard as RIT's does. Not that it would have mattered bc RIT for me was a little more than going to SUNY Albany... were i could have picked between Studio Art and Art History... mmmmmm or no. I just hate that it seems like we pour out a shit load of tax money to support people that don't want to work or can't and you can't even get a break when you try to get an education so you can work more and make more money to pay more taxes and let more people be unemployed or better yet take on country X because it farted at a UN summit on terrorism. Gah nevertheless i'd rather vote for satan than elect Bush for another term, lets hope Kerry can pull this one off.
