So, I suppose that's it then. I turned down a rather large scholarship offer for next year, and there's very little turning back now...seeing as I am poor. I'm rather happy about this, because now maybe people will leave me alone about it; stop trying to convince me to stay.
My mom has been good about it, which is very odd. She sent me a letter stating that she flatly did not want me to move to Fargo, but one phone conversation later and she's talking about it as if that never happened. Telling me to work hard on finals "in case you go back to school after some time in Fargo." and such. Not to say she's happy about it, but that's more because she'll be lonely when I'm gone I think, and less because of what I'm actually doing. Poor mama, all my brothers will still be around, but none of the three have quite the same relationship that she and I do.
I have a room mate, she'll be great. I have an apartment all picked out, and I think I have most of my finances in order- though it depends how quickly I can find a job out there. We shall see!
Of course, leaving the house usually means that your parents no longer pay for your insurance or your phone, but those are no big deal, really.
Four months until the move.
On an Unrelated note: Spiderman 3 was really...really bad. Maybe it's because I have been mostly out of the loop of mainstream movies as of late (read: the last two years or so), but everything happened much to fast, and pretended to make sense when it didn't. I'm fine with things not making sense, as long as people admit that they don't.
For example: Take Harry. "Peter, you just beat me up, scarred my face for life, told me my father hated me and was embarrassed by me, killed me, then revived me and pretended that you didn't kill me at all...but since my butler told me my father killed himself, which for some reason he decided to NOT tell me two years ago... I am going to fight beside you and refer to you as "buddy" the entire time."
They tried to cram too much into one movie, and the whole came out as fragmented and pretty disappointing.
There was one thing that made me happy though, and that is that "evil" Peter looked like a creepy version of Conor Oberst.
