Chronicles of a Young College Boy

Hey everyone...heh didnt write an entry last week...figured my mind was mostly on studies..so i dont think i can write a decent entry...

anyway this photo was taken last smst during the tkd tournament...i still think i look nice with semi long hair..hahahhaa....its been a pretty good week for the most part...i had 2 major exams...Econs and Psychology...and im pretty sure i did well on both...the problem with doing well is that u have such a high expectation b4 u get the results back that u get more or less disappointed or a normal feeling when u get the exams back...ever had tht feeling?...like the exam went so well that u expect nothing but a perfect score....hahaha...

Now im in a full-blown dilemma of what seems to be an easy decision about a year ago = transferring to another school...a year ago....i would actually look for the schools that i wanna transfer to...as long as its good and cheaper...i will transfer...now...another factor came into play...friendships....haiz the classic "I'm already settled here" reason of staying...the other school that i want to transfer to is University of Washington, Seattle.... its business school is ranked 25th in the country...Marquette is 49th...the school fee is a little bit cheaper too if i get a scholarship there...the place from what many people say...is gorgeous...and plus there is the beautiful weather...heh i know i know...its sounds like a perfect school and place...but as i have mentioned b4 countlessly...It is the people that makes a place home...not the place in its physical self...come on...i experienced -30 celsius here...thts right...negative 30 celsius...and the place can be quite dead during the winter....but these factors seem miniscule when friends come into the picture...its like i dont mind all these horrible conditions as long as i can hang out with my friends....

I remembered the first few months i had here...it was horrible....the trouble with adjusting to the situation was a little bit overwhelming...but i made it through pretty nicely..hehehe...the very thought of having to go through tht process again just makes me feel tired.... then there is tht smart ass in my mind saying "what doesn't kill me makes me stronger.."...hmmm....what makes this decision even harder is that it can be or it is a life-changing decision....haiz...well i kinda come up with a short-term solution....i will apply to the school after this smst...BUT i will only transfer if i get a scholarship...so at least tht makes the payment a little easier for my parents...I know u can say this is another excuse of not wanting to transfer....but it's quite a rational reasoning dont u think?
