school ... is almost over for me

so we are officially moving back to PA at the end of August. mom gave me the choice of staying with dad and staying at my school here in NC or moving back to PA and returning to my old school. mom always calls me "Rory" after the girl on Gilmore Girls cuz she says im that responsible and she left the decision up to me. well see if i stay here in NC i can meet all sorts of new people and have the opportunity to attend any of the major colleges here //duke/ unc/ ncstate/ app state/all the unc colleges/ and all the others that are within a rocks throw distance. there are colleges all over this state and that means opportunities abound. contrary to the way i write on here and online/ i really do have a brain and im really quite intelligent. i have a 5.0 weighted gpa at school and i generally dont even have to try. i have already taken 4 AP classes and can actually start out at college in my second semester. /// but i luv pop culture so i <3 internet lingo.

ne way /// if i stay here in NC i have to go another 2 yrs of high school // jr and sr year. but with my old hs back in PA i can actually graduate at the end of my jr yr cuz i've got all the credits i need. ive already applied and gotten in to several colleges but i haven't decided where i wanna go. i could go to U of Penn and i'm just quite happy that i got into an ivy league school. makes me proud and all smiles that my brain has paid off. u know? but i'm not sure i want to go to college with rich snotty kids that are going to be significantly older than me. i mean/ i'm prob more mature than most of them but still the age thing is there and socially its a problem. /// if i stay in NC i'm a resident and will only pay instate tuition to these schools. if i go back to PA i will pay instate tuition only in PA // obviously. so money is a factor. it's why ive been working so much this summer cuz im gonna need the money for living expenses while in college.

so ne way i guess what i'm sayin is that i'm moving back to PA to finish up high school by may // possibly december if they let me// and then work some more next summer and then go to college a year early and start as sophmore //by then i'll have more classes for college credit. also i MIGHT be able to do a dual enrollment type thing and go to the community college and get some college classes in too. idk yet what will happen exactly but i'm all for getting a head start on my "adult life." :P also, i can come back and stay with my dad during all the breaks and even maybe next summer. that will be nice cuz i'll get to visit Ms. Eileen. shes the one who helped me make the decision. she kept saying that i needed to make the decision for ME and no one else.

til the next blog ///

Lero, I'm psyched that you are moving back. I'm glad you made that decision. I would have supported you either way, but I'm glad you're coming back. I've missed you!
