college decision MADE
Soooooooo, I sent in my tuition deposit to URI the other day. Yep, I am going to the University of Rhode Island in September.
It's weird. I don't feel like the decision has been made or anything at all. I haven't realized I am enrolled in college - after all this worry - and tossing things back and forth - and speculation. "The deed was done" last Wednesday, but I haven't been able to think up what to write about it.
I also sent in a deferral request to Wheaton. I asked them to hold my place at Wheaton until 2007. Then I can decide whether to enroll there for sophomore year or not. Once again it depends solely on how much money they decide to give me next year and if it is a ton more than this year I can go.
I'm not really excited, but I'm not disappointed, or something, either. I'm glad to have a definite place where I am going next year and to be done with thinking about getting in to college [a most exhausting subject!]. College - this year - won't be a big huge jump or voyage or intrepid venture for me. I'll be commuting from home instead of living in a dorm, which is fine, because the university is actually closer to my house than my high school is. Perk of this: I am getting a car of my very own this summer. =)
Soooo, yeah. I don't know. It has not hit me yet that I am going to college. There is one month left of school and I just want to soak up and fully live the last month of high school with my friends, especially because one of my closest friends in school will be moving all the way across the country for college. Really, schoolwork is falling rapidly away, spring is blooming and flourishing and greening everywhere and the sky is so incredibly blue and wisped with clouds, and I've realized that friendship is the important thing.
