College stuff

im so happy for you michelle!!

i would say that currently macalester is my first choice but i havent visited it yet so im not sure.

Yeah, visiting colleges is kinda neat, then it gets tedious by the third or fourth one. Unless you're like really into them or something.

Also, that whole drama with Julia was pretty funny, albeit nonsensical.

Yeah, I'm leaning towards WWU, but we're also looking at Seattle Pacific and Puget Sound, so who knows. I'm not entirely sure yet.

Hah, choosing colleges is easy when you have a specific geographic location and know what you're interested in.

And it's not choosing a college so much as choosing which colleges to apply to.

And the difference is...?

You make the decision later. And a lot of it depends on who's willing to give you scholarships and grants and such. So you apply 3-7 places your interested in and then weigh your options.

Well, it's just that it kinda bothers me when people ask me where I'm going to college.

I don't know yet!

Sheesh.

It's not like I'm following this giant life plan where it's "go here or bust."

Oh okay, that makes sense.

And I totally know, Connor. I'm in the same situation.

im really looking forward to this connor! i get a 4 day trip and i get to miss school. its not just touring the college. they have activities planned for us. it should be fun.

Hah, right, miss school...

Ah, activities other than seeing colleges? The only other activities I had when I was seeing colleges was "sit in car." So that sounds nice.

im going by myself. its only at one school. we get to explore the twin cities and stuff. they are taking us to events there. it should be pretty fun.

Oh, so you visit one school and hang out there?
Not quite what I was expecting.

Are you at least going to visit other schools? If nothing else, OSU or U of O, just for some comparison.

ive already seen both of those schools. i may check out pacific university out in forest grove. but honestly im really hoping i like this school because EVERYTHING that they have sent me i like. i will be SO upset if i dont like it. that would suck!

im not visiting any other school there. just the one. they are paying for the whole trip. i go by myself but there will be other students in the program too that are there those days.

That's hilarious, you repeated the paragraph you said earlier.

Yeah...that's hilarious all right...
Not that funny honestly.

do you think i remember what i type?

I know I don't. I don't even remember what I tell people. I'll be telling a story and they're like, "Theresa, you told me this already."
Oops. My bad.

i have the same thing! my mind is just gone. im quite sad without it too.

Yeah, but you were telling me the same spiel you had just told me.

That's on a whole 'nother level of bad than just repeating a story.

We're only human, Connor. Don't push us.

Yeah, but there's a nice happy little record of what you've said just a bit higher up on the screen!

You're only human, but you do have technological assistance...

but do i like to spend my time looking at that? NO!

What colleges have you looked at Connor?

yes connor. which ones?

Yeah! Which ones?
