(image via: here.)It's due time for a personal post, I suppose. And basically I just wish I had somewhere to go to clear my mind. Maybe a beautiful place like the one in the photo above. But since I'm up to my neck in a school project and term paper right now, my blog will have to do.
It's almost summer. And while I should be excited about all the carefree months ahead, I'm stressing out about a very big, very important decision. Where am I going to go to school this fall? Usually I know in my heart what I really want. But this time, I am completely torn between my two choices: School #1 and School #2.
School #1 is a small extension of a larger four-year college. The courses are designed for working adults, so I would have class two nights a week. I would have to commute half an hour each of those nights, but I would be living at home and have lots of time to work. I'd also be able to keep working at the job that I absolutely love. But, I feel I'd be missing out on the "college experience" that I've always wanted for myself.
School #2 is a big, public state university. I would have a more traditional class schedule and probably come home on occasional weekends. I would also be living in an on-campus apartment--cooking for myself and living more independently than I am now. Hopefully I'd be able to transfer from my job here to a job in the store up there, but I definitely wouldn't be working as much. I'd be gaining that "college experience" and more independence, but it would come with a slightly higher price tag and bigger effort on my part.
At a relaxed pace at School #1, I can graduate in Spring 2012. If I want to graduate from School #2 by then, I'll have to work harder. Otherwise, I'd probably end up graduating Summer 2012. By going to School #1, I'll save myself a little money and be able to keep my great job and keep bringing in great money. By going to School #2, I'll enjoy the independence I crave and the opportunities only a big school can offer.
I'm not getting a whole lot of feedback from the people around me. (Maybe everyone is so tired of me changing my mind about school?) I just want to get it right this time, you know? I want to do what's right for me. I only have two years of school left and I want to spend it studying at the place that makes me happiest. I really need to get to deciding though. [sigh]
On another note, I did manage to have a lovely weekend. The bf came home and we dined out on Friday night and then drove around a little bit. I'll be so glad when he's home for the summer and we can go on four-wheeler rides and long walks at night. :)
How were your weekends? How is school going for you? Leave me a comment or e-mail me at misseclectic[at]live[dot]com. I love to communicate and learn about you, my readers. (:
Amore.

Sure it sucks not having extra money and in some cases getting in debt, but you have your adult life to work it off :)
