Graduation
...

Graduation was a mess for me. I did not enjoy that day at all, in fact, most of it ended in tears thanks to a certain fatty. I left my purse in his car and he told me that he could take me home, and he couldn't take me home ... What the hell? So I stranded without a ride, then he finally was able to get me home. There is a lot behind this story that I do not feel like divulging on this blog only because I am just too lazy to type it out and think about it again. Maybe things will heal up with time.

On the college business, I was able to sign up for housing already and my official roomie (assuming things will go well) is Stephanie. Yeah, we are going to fill up our dorm with shrooms.

However, I am still adamant about trying to get into UC Berkeley and UCLA, still. Though there is one thing troubling me, for some odd reason, my parents hate Berkeley. They say that the school is just weird and that UCLA is more famous and superior. I always thought that it was Berkeley that was famous ... not UCLA, but academically, in my opinion, they are one par with each other. I just like Berkeley slightly more because of its nice, cool weather, as opposed to the heat of SoCal. Plus, I can get around the Bay Area so much easier without a car! However, if you were to ask me how I feel ... the school I still truly and dearly want to go to was University of Chicago. Should I try and reapply for that school?

I cannot explain why I love that school, I just do. The atmosphere and the quirkiness is so me! Its as strange and odd as Berkeley, but they aren't snobs about it. However, there are a few concerns that I have. Mainly tuition. First off, I will lose my CalGrant because it is not an instate school (no crap!) and to top that, I will get charged even more! Argh. Nonetheless, its such a petty reason for denying myself a great school.

I think its bullshit when people say a degree is a degree no matter where you get it. Well, no shit it is, but its not just the piece of paper that is important and so pivotal to college, its the essence of who you are and who you become. For some people, maybe the place that will develop them the most is a CSU, but for me, I think that place would either have to be somewhere far away or something great! I don't know, maybe I am getting a little too head of myself. So what are my final, final summer plans?



That's the only thing I can think of right now, there are tons and tons more to do, but I'll get around to it some day.
