Mes Cours

Wow. It's been a while, and I've definitely been busy.

This is the second week of classes. I have moved into my new apartment, which just happens to be right above my old apartment, and classes are awesome. They're going to be difficult. Very writing intensive.

Work has been awesome too. My manager like me enough (yes, i know that's not the reason) to give me about 17 hours per week, which is awesome. I'm going to put my paychecks into savings and get as much saved up as possible.

I've decided to stay at UCF, even next year. Yes, it will wrack up a bigger loan, but it will look so much better than UNF.

I am very excited because in exactly 20 days, I will be 21. FETE! MY sister is throwing me a party. Of course this means she invites her friends, and Arry invites hers, but hey, I'm still incredibly excited. I've invited Juliana, Lindsay, Kristin and Josh, Jeannie and Andy, Felicia, and Cayce.

I can't remember the last time I had a party. It's always been friends over for a very relaxed sleepover, in which we were usually knocked out by 11. I love those sleepovers, but I'm excited to experience this. Also, Cheryl has promised me asparagus (Which is all I've ever wanted). And just to the readers, this isn't just asparagus. It's absolutely amazing! It's better than chocolate, and thats saying something. The way Cheryl cooks it with butter and Parmesan cheese, is just melt in your mouth goodness. Honestly, I could probably eat that for the rest of my life!

So, I have my 17th century theater class in the morning. I'm supposed to have read Andromache by Jean Racine. (Insert ridiculous laugh here). So, I'm going to read some and then sleep.

Au revoir, mes petites!

Conclusions

I've come to a conclusion about my earlier problem. With Dad's help, I have chosen to stay at UCF. Although this will build up a higher loan, it will look better to be UCF alumni, as compared to UNF alumni.

I'm leaving for O-town early tomorrow morning. I'm to meet Kristin and Jeannie for coffee at 10, and leave at 11. The cars are being packed tonight. It's sad - because it feels like every sentence I say ends the same way: Before I Leave...

But, on a happier note, I went and downloaded some good music and audio books for the upcoming trip. For example, I have Catching Fire (from the Hunger Games Trilogy) to listen to, and some good 90's music.

I had lunch with Nana yesterday, after my final and she made Tuna Casserole just for me. I LOVE TUNA CASSEROLE. In case you didn't know. I have froze it, and that will make for a good meal at UCF.

Well, if you have moved, you should know how hectic it is, so I've used my few available minutes.

A Bientot!

Confliction

I need help - I really do. I don't know what to do anymore. My car will be in the shop, which will end up costing my parents $337, money we don't have, and my parents have just found out that I will not be receiving the Bright Future's Scholarship. Now, I have hinted at this before, like saying 'It's mathematically impossible for me to get it back', but they never thought that this meant I wouldn't be receiving the scholarship. I really thought they had already pieced this together, and boy was that a whopper when I realized they didn't.

I can hear their voices in the room next to me, and this puts a pit in the bottom of my stomach. My father's view as that this will build up my student loan and that hey! if I want to throw away my life it's my choice. My mother thinks I should transfer to the university that's right here at home. I think that's a good idea. I mean, I absolutely LOVE UCF, but it seems I can't afford it. The only thing holding me back is that I have already signed a lease to live, which I cannot undo, my textbooks have already been bought, and I have a job waiting on me.

I will admit, my loan is pretty high, but truthfully, I thought that the majority of college students have this problem, and they all solve it. I mean, I know I'm young and naive, and I know my readers (if any), that you are thinking the same. Can you leave a comment, give me advice. Maybe it'll help to hear it from a third party. I'm just not sure anymore.

But, thats about it with my problems, I'm going to have a long talk with God tonight, I think it's very overdue, and above all, his is the advice I covet. I've cried too much today, whether it be from car expenses, not meeting my parent's expectations, or the possibility of losing my independence.

If, in fact, I am able to keep attending UCF, I would leave in two weeks. My summer has gone by too quickly, and I have certainly bonded with my dog, Sam. We've gone to the beach, and dog parks, and long walks. Now I think he loves me more than Mom. hahaha. He's at my feet right now, conforting me. Dogs are really amazing: No matter how crappy your day was, or whether you're mad at them - nothing will my your pet love you less (with an exception of those few extreme cases), they have a never ending love.

That was off subject. I was meaning to talk about the end of summer and the upcoming school year. 11 days until I'm supposed to leave for UCF. I'm already packed. Only a few boxes crowd my room and garage. I've sorted them out, and eliminated the unnecessary items considerably, a fact I'm very proud of.

If I were to attend the university here, it would be hard to transfer all the credit of the classes I have completed. Unlike generic topics, French varies from school to school. They are not the same. But, It would be nice, because according to their catalog, they have a lot more options of classes, and I would not need to study abroad or take any other substitutes. They would have everything i would need there.

Well, please keep me in your prayers. I know how selfish that sounds, but i really need help.

A Bientot.

I Hate Silverfish

These bugs are nasty. Somehow, one crawled into my suitcase from Orlando, and now they have infested the very back of my garage. So, I have just spent all day repacking for Orlando, and getting rid of excess-boxes. In the process, I found a French version of the New Testament. Awesome! Thanks Madame Begley! So, that means I am officially packed for college, as in, I have packed all that I can. So things like my laundry hamper and sheets remain. I have narrowed the 12 boxes from last year to 5 this year. I'm keeping 2 in the garage. (Because of the Silverfish problem). So, the night is ending with Pretty Woman and Julia Roberts. She is so talented.

Today I dropped my car off to the auto shop. The man, Edward?, will look at it tomorrow morning and let me know the price. I'm really hoping it's not much, because we don't have much.

Also, my fan died in the middle of the night, a small oscillating one. My ceiling fan doesn't work well, and our air conditioner does not reach my room. My room is always the hottest or coldest depending on the season. So, I'll overheat tonight and probably end up moving to the living room.

But enough complaints! I'm enjoying the end of my summer, and the good thing about my car situation is that I don't have to go to school tomorrow. Hahaha. So, I will soak up the awesomeness (thats right - awesomeness) of Julia Roberts.

AuRevoir!
