soo, college again
I swear, this is the last time I'm deciding on college. I swear.
After I sent my deposit into fredonia there was an unraveling of my plans. I kept getting all of these negative vibes from all different angles, the people on the facebook group looked more and more like people I didn't like, and the financial aid was definitely not working, and all the while, potsdam looked better and better. It's so weird, so, so, so weird, that I can't even fathom how I ended up with this. it's almost magic.
mr. schroeder called about teh financial aid to potsdam, and they gave me thousands more initially, then the guy told me to apply for their scholarship (even though it was like 2 months late). So I faxed it out the next morning, and yesterday I got word that they're offering me 4500 annually, which is 500 more than their maximum offer (the scholarship said 1-4 thousand). If that's not some sort of divine sign then I have no clue what one is.
now, I won't have to worry about paying for college...at all. I just need $550 per semester. wow, that's all I can say. I am very relieved. I can see my life much more clearly now. this is where I should be. this is the last time I'm going to make an entry about my college choice.
I feel like everything is lining up so well for this school. I am very very happy.
I think I'll be able to enjoy highschool stuff much better now. there is nothing hanging over my head. wow.
in other news, not much else has changed, I've got a busy busy week ahead. mathletics in nyc, tennis matches, 3eb show, work, geneseo prom. it's going to be rough, but I am very excited.
I didn't even write about my road trip with andrew. we went to maine to see his brother and it was a very good time. there are pictures on my facebook, but they're just of the road. not actually the trip.
