Sep. 30th, 2004 09:41 pmokay. so. driving to Ypsilanti (mmmm, vowel deficiency) and back in one day isn't really an activity I recommend for anyone. especially not since driving through Kalamazoo and Ann Arbor is involved, fucking hell do I hate traffic.
Brain... not... working. Okay.
so Eastern... yeah. I'm not sure what to think. It's not as nice and new and shiny as the other places I've visited, but... I don't know. All the people were really nice and they're really pretty laid-back and flexible, and I really liked how their honors program works. Really I guess my only reason for having an issue with going there is lack-of-prestige guilt. Which is fucking stupid of me... I don't know if I WANT to go to some fancy-ass college with a bunch of stupid fucking rich kids, even if I have the grades to get in at such. But my whole high-school career I've had couselors tell me I SHOULD go to a prestigious school. But... bleh. Why should what they think matter? It shouldn't. They don't know me. But I'm stupid and it bothers me. But Eastern was nice, and pretty cheap, and I like the people and I like Ann Arbor (the fact that there was a poster up advertising a JUCIFER concert (!!!!!) even if it was 21+ may have biased me a bit, but hey, I also managed to not get lost there my first time in the town, which is far better than my track record in Kalamazoo). But I feel like by going there I'd be letting people down... or something.. bah. yeah, I dunno.
anyway. sleep. something. gah.
