Alright, so within the past few weeks...well, months if I am truly honest, I have been discontent at UC and thinking about other options. Options that ranged from going off and becoming a French prostitute by the name of Fifi LeBoof to becoming a stewardess to the career path that I have finally decided upon for various reason.
I am going to go to Cincinnati State to get my Associates in Integrative Medical Massage.
To all of you that think this is a bad idea, tough s**t, as of 9:17 on December 29, 2005, I am no longer a UC student. I have officially withdrawn.
To all of my friends that I have talked to about this, I spoke with my mother about it last night. She is supportive because she wants me to be happy. The only piece of excitement is that I accidently let slip about my bouts of (undiagnosed) depression and how UC, quite frequently, makes me want to do a ******** swan dive off the top of one of the buildings. This led to an questioning about what is making me depressed, which covered fun topics such as my own stress and floundering at trying to find out what I want to do with my life to my father, the man I have not spoken with since prolly about...either late 2001-early 2002. Even after I have sent him a letter or two. Answer to all of them is "I dunno." So I got to call our insurance and, since they cover "mental health services" find out how I would go about seeing someone, getting diagnosed, and getting a list of providers in my area.
On a side note: If I am depressed the woman that I spoke with from the insurance company is exceedingly suicidal. She sounded like a more depressed version of Eyore from Whinnie the Pooh.
Anyway, after the whole I'm-changing-colleges discussion, I got a call from Mom a few hours later (at like midnight, which is okay, because I was up anyway) asking if any of the conversations that I had with her regarding college pushed me to make what she saw as a sudden change. To be fair, I did not talk to her about this before doing it because I tend to worry unnecessarily (I get that from her mother). She told me that even though she has said, "You are going to graduate college if it kills us both", she did not mean make it seem like it would not be tolerated if I decided that college wasn't even the place for me. That she just wanted me to be happy, but not have to work like a dog in order to do that. She also repeated many a time that she supports me in whatever I plan on doing. Again, I reassured her that I intend to get my associates at Cincy State.
There was another whole talk about my major, but I'm not going to go into that because, it was boring. The whole career opportunities dealie. Only important note is that I get to talk to one of her friends who has either the same degree or damn similar to it tomorrow and find out more about the program and her experience in it.
I intend to start Cincy State in their Winter Quarter, which starts on Feb. 6th. *Points and laughs at all of those who have a shorter break than I do* Good news about that is that I won't be going to school during the month of my birthday.
In Birthday news, my birthday, which previously has been on an uneventful day, January 29th, is now on a pretty eventful day. It is not only the Chinese New Year, but it is also the day of the Super Bowl. And also a day that Mom started asking me in November what I wanted to do for it because (Woot Woot) I turn 21.
All in all, everything is going fine. I finally feel like I am getting my life in order. I still intend to hang around UC because that is honestly where my biggest support group is, so be prepared to either be drafted for helping Jojo with homework or helping me blow off steam in some random way.
I'll post more later. I am gonna go to bed now.
