Hopefully I will hearing back about admissions within the next few days.

But...

Shawn and I have decided that we will move out to Prescott even if I don't get in.

In such a case I will go to community college out there for the next semester, and work with my admissions counselor to ensure that I get in for the coming spring term.

Though hopefully, hopefully, I'll get in.

That means, being July 1st, I'll only be here for another month at the most.

I can't fucking WAIT to get out of Westminster. Ugh.

I will miss all of my SG DC and Maryland peeps alot, but I'm sure I'll see them again as my parents and a lot of Shawn's family lives out in this area.

Yes- I did get all of my school work finished and turned in for those classes I got incompletes in. I ended up with an A in Human Geography and a B+ in Creative writing. That leaves me with A, B+, B+, B as my grades for this past semester. Pretty good. Not as good as the straight As that I got fall semester, but still better than I have EVER done before. And still good enough to keep me in that college honor society thing. Which apparently helps with getting scholarships.

This whole process is weird and surreal and feels very.. adult.


I'm trying to figure out how to sell a lot of my stuff, and I need to start packing everything up.

We also aren't going to have an apartment before going out there, which is really scary. We can't afford to do that. At this point I don't know if we are going to get a place site unseen, or if we are going to drive out there, get a hotel room at the St. Michael (they are really cute, have nice rooms, right down town, and have good by the week prices) and try to find a place upon arriving.

Mom wants us to pack up everything we can in our two cars and ship up everything at a later date, to save money.

I'm not sure what I think about this. Saving money is definitely a good thing. Not having a bed? Errr...


I moved to a different country once. It seemed like a huge deal.
That different country was 450 miles away.

I'm now moving to somewhere in the same country.
That same country is 2,250 miles away.


Five times the distance.

A 37 hour drive versus a 9 - 10 hour drive.

Not something I can just do in the weekend if I feel the need to visit my parents.


Luckily my best friend lives in San Diego, another one of my best friends lives in LA, and two cousins I'm really close to as well as one that I don't know as well also live in San Diego.
From what I can tell San Diego and LA are both around a six hour drive from Prescott, which for me is a really easy drive. And since the school doesn't have classes on Fridays, that will make weekend trips out really easy. (And if I don't get in, I'll have even more opportunities for visits. But I'm just going to work under the assumption I'll get in.)
My best friend moved to San Diego in 1998. Being able to see her on a semi regular basis again will be ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL. She is perhaps the most fantastic person on the planet.

Thinking about that is making me feel a lot calmer.
