SO, my transfer application to OSU was accepted within two days of it being received. Speedy, eh? After summer, I will be either a junior or be five hours from being a junior, depending on how many classes I take (I need ninety credit hours to be considered a junior). Considering that right now I am a froshmore (first-year who is a sophomore. Like the slang, I made it up myself!), that's jetting by a little fast. All that's left is classes relating to my major. Well, if I stay at OU. If I transfer it will put me back a bit, since my major will change. I will have a lot of credits that serve as excess electives and don't matter.
Decisions, decisions.
Well, the goal is to get out of college as fucking fast as possible, so...yeah I'm working on it.

The perks of staying here is the art department is AMAZING. The whole building operates like a European country: no one's got classes till after 9 AM (most are even later), there's a two hour 'siesta' in the middle of the day, you can work whenever you want and where ever you want, [almost]everyone is a liberal-vegan-super happy to be alive-easy going hippy, and the weekend starts on Thursday.

The perks of OSU are as follows:
1. Living in an apartment with my sister, no meal-plan, MY CAT, and a car.
2. Closer to home.
3. More things to do/get detracted with in my 'free time'.
4. I can get a job!

But these are all selfish, unproductive, reasons. Staying at OU is a better academic choice considering OSU has a shit art program. Sure I would be happier living with my sister and so would she, considering she's already psyched out and looking for apartments....but! In the long run, a degree from OU would make me happier.
Momentary bliss is nice and all, but I cannot survive on that alone. My own constant depression and psychological roller-coaster does better when there are less stimulants. I've noticed the lack of stimulation from outside sources forces me to rely on myself, and thus, makes use of my own excess energy. Though my sleep schedule still lacks normalcy, I do sleep now. Prior to college the insomnia was insanely out of control. I may be more socially bored, but by no means am I mentally or creatively bored. In fact, I'm positively excited here. I find motivation on my own, not by the prodding of teachers. OSU might provide stimulation, yes, but it also provides a hectic atmosphere. 'If it ain't broke, why fix it.' OU already provides a healthy atmosphere for my need to drain the 'creative-overload' built up in my brain that causes me such nervousness and uneasiness at home.

I feel like I have made a decision, but still want to think on it. I'm not sure where this affection towards Ohio came from, but I'm at peace with it.

pause, decisions, alas
