Cal stste hayward apparently just opened a campus in concord. i think i am going to look into that.

i want to go to humboldt, if not for their classes (which are generic and lame), then for the environment, the inspiration, the drugs. but i am more than a little afraid that i am going to have the same issue there as i had at davis - yes, the school is cheaper, but i still have $500/month in bills, plus the rent and food and books and tuition and drugs and fun money i will be spending up there to worry about.

and as much as the prospect of not having sex for another year and-a-half to two years, not to mention liviing with my father for that time, does not appeal to me, is holds the antitheses of appeal for me, i could commute to concord and hump out my degree.

i don't know or care how, but all i have to do is get through my undergrad. i am not worried at all about grad school, partially because its not upon me yet, and partially because i am not longer going to have to worry about a portfolio.

i don't know. i need to look into it soon. i have to apply to wherever i am going within the next month.


bah. bitches.

[ mood | optimistic ]

so i actually looked at the CSUEB campus in concord's website... (i think the ellipses should show how serious i am, as we all know how much i hate their usage for anything other than poetic and academic acknowledgement of something being missing)

not only do they offer a BA in english (i wasn't sure if they would, because i think its just like an offshoot campus - i don't know. i have in my head all adjunct facilities are similar to solano's, where they offer dick) but the program, as far as classes offered and required, is probably the first one that has actually appealed to me out of the four other schools i have looked at for undergraduate work, at least as far as the straight-up English goes.

gas and Fastrak, BART, or Amtrak fees will be my biggest worry, if that's the decision i end up making.

i am going to apply to both HSU and the CSUEB, so i have my choice when fall roles around, but my intuition is telling me i am going to fold before the seemingly insurmountable odds of the pack-up-and-move mentality i am going to have if i only apply to HSU, and end up driving to concord every other day or something.


on one hand i feel chumpish for even thinking about accepting another nearly unfathomable length of time here, but on the other hand I can't help but feel optimistic. this is the first real ray of hope i've had since i've gone back to school.

i need to cancel some students or skip some classes and go talk to the people i need to talk to to get everything back fully on track.
