Ahh, the sour smell of raw sewage. I must be back at work.
My vacation up in Ohio was great. I love the Mock Girls, though I'm still not sure Kate and Meredith believe I'm there as much to see them as I am to see Rachel. -laughs- And I don't think any of them believe that I go there to relax. Ah well, it was great, anyways.
Since I'm going to say it anyways, I might as well get it over with now: It was also nice to see Andrea, Nikki, Courtney, Jessie...
But now I'm 'home' again. Two days of work, then I move into my apartment on Campus. Classes start on Monday, as does my other job. Luckily, this job goes part-time starting Monday. I'm looking forward to getting back.
That having been said, I'm thinking about transferring out of CUA. Like, seriously considering it. I've been complaining for a good part of the last year or so, and a combination of talking with Elizabeth and Rachel Tuesday night has spurred me to really think about it. I'm dissatisfied both with the quality of the program and with the company I've kept (or not kept, as the case may be). I have more hope that the social aspect may improve after I get back there (I do have a tendancy to exagerate, and maybe thing aren't as bad people-wise as I think), but I have little faith at all in the accademics improving. CUA just doesn't feel as... Catholic as I'd have liked, I suppose, and I feel like no one there really knows me... It's a bit discouraging, though, to think that things might not be better somewhere else...
Oddly enough, my mom was more inclined towards me transferring on social reasons than accademic. I find that odd.
I'm really afraid of change, I've decided, but I'm looking now at other schools I might like, and see what I can find. If things improve, fine, but if not, I'd like to transfer as soon as possible, maybe even for the Spring Semester. Especially if Social issues drive me, it only makes sense to leave if I have time for it to be worth it (though, I'm almost sure transferring would add another year to my schooling)...
And I suppose that's about it... Gotta get all my stuff packed t'night and t'morrow.
Gotta get to work here, I've got a few interfaces to write before my boss gets in...

Date: 2003-08-21 08:44 am (UTC)Well, it's all very much in its beginning stages, but Steubenvillesp?, Ohio, is one that I'm going to be looking at.
I would check out Xavier again, but they already shot themselves in the foot once, and I'm not sure it's the sort I'm looking for, anyways.

Date: 2003-08-22 05:09 am (UTC)I fear that my friend Felicia knows me very little.
Correction: I go to a school which claims to be Catholic -- The Catholic University of America, in fact, in DC. The trouble is, it isn't Catholic, or at least not Catholic enough for my tastes. It's far to secular, and the biggest problem i'm having is I feel I share very little in common with most of the people there. Which isn't so odd, in that most of my friends (in real life and online) disagree with me on most topics. Still, it would be nice to know people who agree with me, for once.
I went to private school my whole elementary and secondary career, though they weren't all Catholic -- NAPS (Naval Academy Primary School), where I went for first grade, was technically a 'military' school, but only 'cause all the families were military (they didn't make us do push-ups in the sand or anything). My dad's in the military (duh), and we moved around alot, but we were (almost) always at the local Private school. I'll agree with you that some were quite hellish, and I could go on and on about my different complaints, but... -shrugs- It's not so bad as one might imagine.
