Social Life and College Choices 2/21/2003
I'm in such a crummy mood...Last night (Thursday) is usually a big party night and was even bigger than usual because we just got our pledges. Before pledging starts on Monday, ths girls in my sorority took them out to party downtown. I really wanted to go, but Ivy had work to do, Tanya said she wasn't going to go out (but later did), and my pledge class all had made plans with each other. I really didn't want to have to take a cab alone so I stayed in. My friend Amy called me later that night and asked to come hang out. About two bags of popcorn, a pot of coffee, and four hours later she went home...I actually had a lot of fun with her, even though we were just chilling out in my kitchen. The girl's so awesome, but she wants to transfer. She's a junior transfer, and for her to transfer for her senior year is just silly. I really really want her to stay because she's just an overall kick ass person. It's too bad we weren't thrown together as roommates for our first semester, we probably would've been a helluva lot happier.
Anyway, Amy and I were supposed to go out together tonight, but there was a club on RI that recently burned down, and she's flipping out because that's her hometown. I feel really bad for her...
I really really wanted to go out tonight but after awhile I get sick of asking people what their plans are. Usually the answer is "Oh, we already made plans, but if you want to grab a cab and meet us somewhere that's OK." Gee thanks guys...
On a totally different note, my brother John, who's a junior in high school, is starting to look at colleges. It's funny, but my mother tells me that he wants to stay close to home. I was really surprised by that, since he doesn't seem like the type to get homesick...usually, that's me. My sister Becca used to cut her vacations short so she could get back to her friends as soon as possible. I try and stay at home as long as I can. And I was really stupid with picking out colleges too, because I picked ones that were pretty far away from home. John apparently really wants to go to NYU, but if doesn't get in, he's thinking of Rutgers. I felt like the biggest ass in the world when my mother told me that. Why the hell didn't I think of Rutgers, even when I transferred from SU??? It's two hours from my house, pretty good social life, and a kick-ass pre-med program. It's not like I've never heard of the school...I feel like I just want to kick myself...But anyway, John's a smart kid for knowing he can't be away from home. It'll save him a lot of trouble and headaches.
Thinking about John applying to college kind of makes me wish I could start over. I would not have applied to half the schools I did, and with all the research that I did do on colleges, I really didn't think about the important things...I dunno, I definitely would've handled frosh year better had I been two hours away instead of 7 by car and 13 hours by bus...
Ah well....I need to pick up my grades anyway, so the lack of social life will kick my ass into gear. I desperately want to go to osteopath school, but I got a 2.6 last semester bc of pledging...I think it really killed my chances, seeing as I failed organic chemistry. I'm retaking it over the summer, but still...
Ah well...back to my date with my psychology book...
