Tomorrow Biola classes start, and I'm not going. I'll be at home, feeling a little anxious about not going to Biola, making phone calls about transcripts, registering last minute for classes, and probably blogging about it all.
Oh gosh.

The House Always Wins
My preliminary schedule for COC:
Beginning German
Drawing I
Cycling
Intro to Cameras and Composition
Dance Appreciation (hopefully will cover the fine arts req for Biola/other colleges. May change if biola dislikes it).
On top of that, I may take bible classes through moody, and, hopefully science fiction or film as lit from COC. This all depends on my transcripts and such from biola. but at least I have classes to take next semester.

Let it Rain, Let it Pour. Hallelujah.
A lot of things have happened. A lot of decisions have been made.
I'm very different from who I was a year ago. But I'm also very much the same.
I'm not going back to Biola. I'm pretty sure at least. I avoided blogging about it for as long as I could, to be sure that it would be final, and by no means is it final now, but it's as sure as it's gonna be, for at least a week. And I can't stand it any longer.
Basically, my grades suck compared to my intellect. I can't justify 15k a semester for a 2.0 GPA. That's the basic truth of it. In the end the decision was mine--my parents would do what they had to get me through it if I really wanted it, but I couldn't do it. I can't put my parents in debt for a 15k-per-semester english degree. I can't force myself to go to a school that I feel such apathy for--sometimes even dislike. It's not worth it.
So, I'm going to a junior college this next semester. I'm already a student--complete with ID number. All I have to do is send my transcripts over and register. Which is more than half the problem, really, but whatever.
In time I may return to Biola--I may have a change of heart or mind, decide that the Bible minor is worth it after all, but at least for this semester I need a break. It may be a permanent change, it may not be.
I will forever be grateful to Biola for the friendships I've made there. There are some beautiful hearts and minds at that school, and I'll never forget them. And hopefully visit often. Complete with Disneyland excursions. ^_^
