Yeah so, this whole school thing is getting really old, really fast. I’ll be so glad when it’s over. Or even just when the next 7 days are over. I still have 4 exams, 3 of which are in the next 72 hours. Not so much fun. Especially when one of them is calculus. Of course, to be quite honest...I haven’t started studying for it. And it’s definitely at 8am tomorrow. It’s a good thing I’m already planning on taking it again next semester (yeah, how much does that suck...it’s bad enough taking it once, but having to take it TWICE, for a total of 3 semesters?).
Speaking of next semester though, my friends are really bumming me out. It seems like everyone changed their minds this weekend about where they’re going next year. And they’re all staying here. Matt told me last week that he was pretty sure he was going to Davidson (no surprise, since his girl’s at Charlotte), but then told me yesterday he’s going to Duke. Wendy had decided on Berkeley and sent in her deposit and then decided to go to Emory (ok, I guess Emory’s not exactly here, but it’s a whole lot closer than Berkeley!). Kevin had told just about everyone he was going to NYU and now he’s going to UNC. And the saddest of all, Tory was deciding between Duke and Vandy. I really wanted her to go to Vandy, so that at least someone else would be going to TN with me, but she finally decided on Duke. Stephen and Alisa are both going to UNC, Lee’s going to Meredith, John’s going to State and Summer’s going to William & Mary (which, again, isn’t here, but it’s really not that far). I mean, I know full and well that not everyone can go to an out of state school. I do understand that. And I understand that their chosen schools weren’t necessarily their top choices. But the fact is, most of these kids could go elsewhere. And could get money. I just feel like they’re selling themselves short by staying in a place they know. Yes, I know that I’m a bit adventuresome (after all, according to Anna, “Adventure” is my middle name...along with “Spontaneous”, “Scandal”, and “Rebel”) and maybe the idea of moving somewhere I’m really not at all familiar with is exciting only to me...but it still makes me very sad for them.
