another update

i am currently college-less. which is an amazing feeling... not because i don't plan to go back to school, because i do. but i feel so much freedom. i felt so trapped at st olaf... like my parents, my grandparents, society all pressured me to stay there-- at a good school where i was practically going for free. a school that would probably take me far in life, in this world... but was destroying everything i REALLY wanted my life to be. everything i really wanted to be.

right now i'm waiting to see what i can do. i really want to take a semester off and pay off my credit card bill... i'm over a thousand dollars in debt! and its really hard to pay it off when i'm a full time student, because i don't have time to work more than 10 hours a week and try to get all my homework done... :/ the problem right now is that i won't have health insurance if i don't go to school and if i do have cancer or need surgery or anything, i'm probably going to need it. i'm hoping to transfer to bethel eventually, but i really don't want to transfer halfway through the year and i'm not going back to st olaf. at the very least not next semester. so... my backup plan is to commute to the u for a semester because if i am sick, i'm pretty sure i want to live at home.

so that's my life. :)
