Time For New Plans
Jan. 10th, 2003 02:39 amMy registration for spring semester is denied because I got a D in both o-chem and genetics. This means I won't be taking classes at Reed this semester.
I have said this, or some variation of it, so many times that I no longer burst into tears the way I did when I told John, who was the first person I told, aside from making references to the news in here. Some I didn't have to tell, because they read the writing on the LJ. I still have not told my parents, though. Seems like a thing to handle delicately, and to have a plan for.
I also need a plan as to what to do now. Plans should definitely include going back to Portland. For one thing, I already have a plane ticket back. Second, I would need to go back anyway to get my stuff, so why not just stay? Third, there are friends there that I want to see. I do have friends here in Albuquerque too, but it's not quite the same.
So, to Portland, to hang around and get a job. I think I'll wait until summer to take some classes somewhere. If my dad is really adamant about me staying here, I might bargain with him to come back and take classes at UNM in the summer. But it is rather important to me to be in Portland for spring. Besides, I've already got a place to live there, and it would be easier to find someone to sublet for summer than for now on such short notice.
I actually don't feel so bad about this. What I really did need, I think, was some time off. Now I have it. I'll use the time to work in Portland, and see people, and read for fun. (Wheel of Time, here I come...) Perhaps travel a bit, visit people at other colleges, since I won't have to worry about finding time for it between classes. Also, I'll so some serious thinking about my major, and about switching it. Well, really, what I'm going to switch it to, because biology and I aren't getting along so well any more. Should have listened to that impulse to switch to theater at the beginning of last semester, I suppose.
For now I should sleep, and tomorrow go talk to my sister, and then hang out with Sarah and seek release in the bottom of a bottle.
