transferring
2004-01-27 at 1:46 p.m. i feel good today. i was so excited to find a note from jenessa and then to talk to her for a bit online. i found out she has a new love interest! and you know what the best part was? i was so happy for her. so completely and truly happy for her. i'm seeing the good in things again. i also realized that i really miss her. a road trip is long overdue. i've been struggling with the idea of transferring. i like ub. i really do. but, i hate that it's in williamsville and it's so familiar. when i was little i used to go there for fireworks, and i always knew people that went there, and i drove by on a pretty much daily basis most of my life. i want to stay in the SUNY system, and i also want to stay at a respected university like UB. so i went onto a SUNY website that listed all of the schools. i wanted to stick with a university because i like the size and the prestige and all of that. there are only four universities in the SUNY system. UB, Albany, Syracuse...and Binghamton. I'm already at UB. Albany is too hard for me to get into to. Syracuse is completely out of the question financially. Binghamton is almost identical pricing with UB, the campuses are the same general size, but there are less people. it's away. it's also mitch's top pick for schools. i could never justify going there to myself or anyone else. but, i don't want to go to a school that's less respected/well known than UB. i don't want to go to a school like Buff State, which is what Fredonia and many of the other SUNY school's are like. i know i can't go there. i just wish i had been able to go on college visits my senior year. i wish i had understood what i wanted then and could have picked the school for myself. more research is in order. i would never dare go there. maybe i should just look into studying abroad?
