college, camp and chest pain

[justcallmefunk]

Today was the attack of the college mail. I got mail from Moravian, Clark, UMD (my official acceptance letter- for next spring), Mount Saint Mary College (I get mail from them at least once a week but I’m not applying), Indiana, and TWO letters each from Allegheny and Wooster, the first giving me $10,000/ year in merit and the latter $13,000.

who are you?

"My mom is mad at me because I said now I can transfer for the spring if I end up hating my school (cause of Maryland), and she said why are you going through all of this if you’re going to hate your school? There is obviously no way to tell if I will like whatever school I go to before I’m living there."

That sounds almost EXACTLY like something my mom would do. Something about the Funk kids man...they expect answers to questions that do not and cannot have answers at the time they're asked, and it's like...SHIT, get off my back.

yeah.

jimmy sent her FOUR birthday cards for turning 50, all with little nasty sayings on them. we just got the last one. he got EVERYONE in his family to write something on it- either jack or jb, i can't tell, wrote "i'm having trouble in history, can you tell me about when you were a kid?" and jordan wrote "what kind of pet did you have, a dinosaur? He-He." He ended with "fifty maybe be nifty, but forty-six still kicks!"

it was really funny

G&G told me about that...ouch!

i would've gone to Clark in a heartbeat, had they accepted me. they didn't, and i graduated from beloit last spring. which actually turned out to be for the best, 'cause beloit was fucking awesome.

congrats on the money! and that's merit based! so don't you still get even more from the fafsa??

anyway, i really don't know that much. but i have heard that allegheny is very sorority/fraternity based...like overly so. and since its really small almost everyone has to join. i dunno.

UMD seems like a really nice college. my aunt lives in maryland and knows a lot of people who went there and loved it. i mean, its nice to know that you have somewhere to transfer if you have to.

good luck!

Congrats on all the college acceptances and money!!
Excuse me for saying this, but your mom is being really frikkin irrational.

Also, Clark is the college Robert's (Robert=my mom's bf) younger son went to. I'm pretty sure he enjoyed it for the year he was there. Unfortunately, he got kicked out for not meeting the academic standards of the school, even after being put on academic probation. Perhaps he was enjoying himself a little bit too much? But don't worry. There are other details associated with that, and I doubt it will happen to you. I can ask Robert for more details on the school though, if you'd like.

i would love to know more about it!
