Time to Shake Things Up a Little
As you may have noticed I haven't written any blogs recently, mainly because I haven't really been in the mood to write and I have been occupied with more important tasks like sleeping and reading my new ginormous incredibly cool Egypt book that I totally splurged on (remind me to start posting random facts about ancient Egypt on my blog hehe). Now I have an earth shattering announcement to make, if you are not sitting down already I suggest you do so now. I am seriously considering changing schools. What, you may ask, would prompt this sudden wish to change the direction of my life? Well, I received my school bill for Spring semester and realized I would have to take out yet another student loan to pay for it. Then I started thinking about all the other loans I have taken out in the last two years and then I just wanted to throw up. As much as I love my school, the students and professors, it is simply too expensive. So I've been thinking about going to Purdue. Quite frankly, the very thought of attending Purdue terrifies me. It is soooooooo HUGE and there are sooooooo many people! I like my campus because it is small and personal, I know all the professors in my division and I know a lot of the students and if I haven't met them I at least know their faces. Purdue is massive and that scares me. I've gone to small Christian schools all of my life and I think I would get lost. I get lost driving from my house to the mall for crying out loud and I've been to the mall thousands of times. I even get lost and disoriented inside the mall! This may sound odd, but big places make me dizzy. Purdue is so cheap though (comparatively speaking) and I don't want to rack up anymore debt. I'm so comfortable at my school. I feel secure there (except when I have to walk back to my dorm, by myself at 2 am). I don't think that level of comfort is a good thing for me. At Purdue I will be thrown into my worse nightmare and that is the best way for me grown as a person. I lack courage and maybe if I am thrown into a situation far away from my bubble-like existence, courage will be something I may acquire. Well, enough of my random thoughts. I'm making a pro/con list and if you think of any I should add let me know! ;)
