So I have some news: as some of you know, I planned on going to KU next semester. Change of plans!! I'm staying in Dallas at least for the next semester. I will be going to school (most likely UTD or UT Arlington), working full-time, and living with my friend Stacy.
I know what you all (or some of you) are thinking: wow, she has really fucked up her entire life. And maybe I have. I did not work as hard as I needed to this year, and I really know that. But at this time (and because I was so unhappy at SMU that it pretty much ruined the college experience for me), I feel like it is the right thing to do. After next semester (or next year), I'm probably going to transfer to another school after I raise my GPA (which isn't the best that it could be). So I am going to work very hard to catch up on my coursework next semester and try very hard to make good grades.
This is just a time in my life when I am realizing that I want different things than I thought I did. I want to work my way through college. I know it's not going to ruin my life not to be Sorority Sue. What was good for my parents and everyone else around me is not necessarily good for me.
After making this decision, I feel like a huge weight has been lifted. I am so excited about moving in with Stacy and having my own apartment. I'm moving in July and I've already picked out my bedding! Did I mention the complex has a pool?? for a Dallas July?? That's right...face.
