Catch Up and The College Process.

I've decided that I'm going to stop apologizing for never posting anymore, because only like two people read this, so oh well.
Blogging is something I enjoy and I do it when I want and need to, not because I have a schedule I need to stick to, which if i had readers I'd probably have the inspiration to blog a lot more. But considering that I don't, oh well.

The last two weeks have been spent painting and removing wall paper in my new house. Which is very very exciting for me because our old house is falling apart, and our new house is so so nice.

But anyways, that's not why I wanted to make this post.
I'm sitting at my dad's right now. We've just spent the better half of the night on google maps looking at the satellite images for the schools I want to go to. I have three schools that I want to go to, and the closest one is nine hours away from my Southern Comfort Zone and Safe Haven, Chapel Hill. My program is prosthetics  and orthotics. Which is the profession I have had my heart set on since the 8th grade. And, that's a very rare program only 11 schools in the country have it. My choices are, University of  Hartford in Connecticut (16 hours away), University of Pittsburgh(9 hours away) And St. Petersburg College (12 hours away). They're all good schools, however the two that I feel that I'd get the best education at are 15k/ semester. Which, well is more than I can afford. They are also in big, big cities. And, Northern. Which is honestly the worst thing about them. I'm not a huge fan of northerners as a whole. They tend to be rude and think southern people are ignorant. I know that that's just a sterotype, but through my experiences, it's mostly true with the exception of a few awesome northerners that I know. Big cities are another problem all their own, but I could take a self defense class, and I'm sure I'd get used to it. The school in Florida is in a smaller town, and a retirement community, and it's on the coast. It's the preferable climate and people there.  The crime rate is low and it'd be an awesome temperature all the time. But, the school isn't that great. So, I'm going to apply to all 3 of the schools, and if I only get into one, then I'll go there. If I get into all 3, who knows what I'll do, but I have a whole year to decide that.
So, Happy College Hunting to all of you juniors and seniors! It's exhausting.
