Visited the Experiences fair for US universities yesterday. And yes, i feel the bug once again, that familiar feeling of excitement, ambition and colour which fills my mind and makes me wanna jump out of my skin. I feel that im not doing enough, that i havent been doing enough, that i should be working harder and be more serious about this whole thing. I DO wanna make it work. I want to study in lovely old mahagony libraries surrounded by old volumes of books. I want to have lessons on a sunshiny grass patch, with my bearded professor sitting on a field chair explaining economic theory. I want to wear trench coats and build snowmen. I want to have friends from all over the world. I want wear a sweater with my college name emblazoned on it, cheering during football games. I want nights out in quiant towns, with alfresco cafes and hip-hop clubs..
I've narrowed the list down to:
UPenn's College (and hopefully, on deb's advice, make it to Wharton through the "back door")
NYU's Stern - to do accounting and economics
USC - ditto
UC Berkeley - to do economics, its a bitch that they dont allow students to take subjects across schools, so i cant do accounting.
Brown - likewise.
At least i've (finally) decided on majors i'd really like to do. A Bach of Science in Econs and an accounting major would be the perfect combi. Anyone know anywhere is which is good for those?
There's lots to do. I've got application essays to write, teachers to beg for testimonials, credentials to compile.. not to mention my driving lessons to take, though that's irrelevant. Why oh why oh why am i still in the army? Its such a bitch.
I'm excited, yes.. But am i really going to leave her behind for four years? Though i probably already know the answer to that.. I just hope God will make everything work out. Love makes everything possible after all. Faith. In Him, and in us.
