And it starts. *shuts window*

Poll:

I feel really guilty about something that happened recently. However, I also sort of like it. Do I reverse the situation and thus end my guilt trip, or do I keep status quo, enjoy it and try to ignore the guilt?

Feeling gulity blows, and it totally takes over my mind. I dislike pre-occupation, and therefore am the sort who tries desperately to alleviate the guilt.

Doesn't work for everybody, by any means.

Maybe you should try things out and see what feels right.

That goes to show you how out of it I am. I'm in the city, watching the rain!

My kitchen window was wide open! Ahh.

My mom's on my case about the interview. Banal is boringly brilliant It's not bad enough that I let myself down, when that's the last thing I need right about now. sigh.

Hi, Nia!

I don't know the situation, but I would say reverse it, definitely. Guilt is a bad thing. It eats away at you.


My parents are fighting over my college situation. This sucks.

Are they fighting with you, or amongst themselves, Elphie?

"Trying things out" would, in this case, equal taking back the $98 dollar dress that I don't need and that I let my grandma buy for me. That's not really reversible.

*sighs*

It's a great dress, but maybe not $98 great.

I love rain. I hope it storms tonight. *lightning flashes* Oh, good.

ETA- Yikes, Elphie! Feel free to vent here, I can definitely empathize.

No, I'm not. I mean, I could go to Tufts, but I'm going to end up at Chicago. However, my parents want me to visit Tufts, but I don't want to miss school and it's way expensive, and so they're playing that fun little thing called the blame game. 'Tis fun.

Do you think you would be happy deciding on Chicago without re-visiting Tufts, Elphie?

If I may, what's the dress like, nia?

So you already know where you're going to go, but your parents want you to visit Tufts anyway? That's a bit confusing.

The dress is orange, knee length and V-necked. It's rather plain, but I like it. I just don't know if I really want to keep it.

Posted: 4/14/06 at 5:52pm

I'm not sure I'm going there, but I probably am. I liked Chicago, and I think I would be just as happy there as anywhere else, I'm just a little scared about the work. However, I would be something of a fool to pick Tufts over Chicago.

Going to Tufts is just a big pain in the butt.

Well, it sounds like it would look good on you, for what it's worth. Think about it for a while if you don't have to wear it right away?

However, I would be something of a fool to pick Tufts over Chicago.

Why's that? Not being snarky (I did like Tufts a lot, though). Just curious. Banal is boringly brilliant

I liked Tufts a lot, too, but Chicago has the core curriculum, which is what I want, and it's "one of the best institutions for higher learning, blahblahblah...". And, I've wanted to go to Chicago for the longest time, I'm just getting cold feet now that I actually have to choose.

That dress sounds really pretty, Nia.

One of the funniest things I ever read about Tufts was that it's made up of a lot of bitter Ivy League rejects. I have no idea how true that is, since it may actually be harder to get into.

How did you feel when you stayed over at Chicago?

I'm thinking about applying to Chicago next year. Are they generous with financial aid?

Thanks, Elph.

Nope, I didn't get into Columbia.

I heard that, too, Em! I think it's true, because someone who works there told my dad that.

I liked Chicago when I stayed over. There was nothing that felt wrong about it, it's just...I'm really, really bad with meeting people and making friends just like that. But with that logic, I would feel the same way about any place.

Nia, you should apply! And get in! Then we could be there together. Banal is boringly brilliant I got about the same amount of financial aid from pretty much every place. Chicago gave me (including loans and work study) about enough to cover 1/3 of the $48000 cost. It's way expensive.

Ooh... that's reminding me why I had to apply mainly to in-state, public colleges. Not that that's a terrible thing in Virginia, but in retrospect I would have looked at a wider range of schools.

Edit: Typing is obviously not my forté.

I don't doubt it's true. Banal is boringly brilliant But it's harder in some ways because they're very picky regionally and financially. It's a weird place. :)

What have you heard about the social scene there at Chicago? I don't really know anything about the school; does it have a campus, or is it just there like NYU? I'm bad at that, too, so I know what you mean. I feel strange when people around me click so fast, and I'm like... ".... okay?"

ss, not all states are lucky enough to have state schools that are ranked that high. Banal is boringly brilliant I visited William and Mary. I was in disbelief that it was a state school.

Heh.... 1/3 of 48 grand isn't NEARLY enough to help me. Guess that's out of the question.

My mom only wants me to apply to only in-state schools because of the cost.

nia, the schools usually consider financial aid awards on a case-by-case basis, so if necessary you might get more need-based aid. Plus there's federal financial aid, scholarships or student loans. I wouldn't count it out of the question without looking into it more.

William and Mary is a great school.... I was (kind of bafflingly, to me, anyway) waitlisted there, but I think the in-state applicant pool that year was ridiculous. The college application process is horrible, but I think that most people are ultimately happy wherever they end up.
