| Should I Stay or Should I Go?
Lately I've come to the scary realization that I will be graduating in a year (Spring '07). Man, I am getting OLD hahaha. So this has got me thinkin about what grad school I wanna go to....which brings me to my dilemma.
As of now, I am thinking that my senior year (next year) will
likely be my last year in MN, possibly for good. I don’t just mean the UofM, but MN as a
state. I’ve thought about it a lot and
while I do have lots of good friends and family here, I think its time for a
change of scenery, a new experience, something different. And I’m not just saying this because of the
freakin freezin’ weather recently, its something I’ve seriously pondered for
awhile now. At times I've wondered what my life would be like if I went elsewhere for college, even regretting coming here at times. I've regretted because of the atmosphere here, the setting, not the people. I've met a lot of awesome people here and built great friendships, but I think I've come to the point where I dont think this is what I'm looking for.
Basically, I don’t see any reason for me to stay here any
longer. I’ve lived here for 15 years of
my life, and its been the same ol' story. Minnesota
has been fairly good to me, but also with filled with disappointments after
disappointments that I will not elaborate on.
It’s the story of my life, really.
I think I’m as good as gone unless there’s a compelling reason for me to
stay - such as falling in love. So if I somehow fall in love with the girl of my dreams (and she falls in love w/me too), which is highly unlikely sad to say, then I will stay. (So if you're out there.....haha)
If I do leave, I think I’d like to return to the West Coast, possibly California, maybe something else like Arizona or something. Maybe I can find what I’m looking for
there. New people, new adventures, it
could be interesting. But I still got a
year to go so I guess we’ll see what happens in a year. This is my train of though at the moment
though.
Sorry for such the long post, but this is likely my last
post on Xanga for at least the rest of the semester, so enjoy.

| So now I've decided that its my turn to update my xanga. As you can see I haven't updated since November....yea, I've been busy and a slacker. Since nobody reads this anymore and nobody will, I'm just gonna start rambling on about random stuff.
So winter break has come and gone again, with nothing too exciting. I didn't go anywhere fun over winter break (unlike some lucky ppl) but I hung out a bunch with people around here and that was really fun. It was really one of the more fun winter breaks I've had, since my previous ones involved sitting at home doing nothing. Plus I actually had my car for this winter break (for those of you who know me and my situation, you know how big that is).
Anyways, some updates on my life: I won't be studying abroad anymore next year like I had hoped I would. It woulda been really fun to go somewhere like Australia or Denmark, but I talked to my CALA advisor and it just didn't work out. As of right now, I am on schedule to graduate on time in the spring of 2007. Due to some required courses, I would not have been able to graduate on time if I studied abroad. Plus now, I have to study for my GRE's and see if I can get into grad school to get my Masters in architecture.
Speaking of next year, if anyone is reading this, what are your plans for housing next year? I probably won't be returning to Wilkins, but I am lookin to find someplace, preferably an apt. somewhere on campus for next year. It'd be great if it was on east bank, since thats closer to Rapson, but I'm open to all options. So lemme know your plans.
Life can be confusing sometimes. I really wish things were simpler in life, then life would be so much easier. I used to think I knew what I wanted and when opportunities arose, I would know what to do. But lately, I've just been confused...about myself. I'm not sure what I want or what I'm looking for anymore. Therefore, many times this leads to me confused about what to do. I feel like I'm living in a land of confusion, I just wish things were more clear. But I guess I'll just take things in stride, go with the flow.
Well, I think thats enough rambling for one night.

| My future will be decided tomorrow. CALA (College of Architecture
and Landscape Architecture) admission decision should come
tomorrow. I am so scared I think I'm gonna pee in my pants right
now.
If I don't get in, there is a very realistic possibility that I will
leave the UofM. To where, I'm still trying to figure that out,
but I hope I don't have to. I don't see much reason to stay
anymore if I don't get in; I've wanted to leave MN for awhile now and
this might be my chance. So unless you have a convincing reason for me to stay  ....hahaha. Anyways, wish me luck....
