Colleges, Photo shoots, etc. : 03.27.03 @ 10:19 pm

I want to get into a good college.

I mean, who doesn't?
I'm relatively intelligent but as my mother said - life royally fucked up my transcripts.

My freshman year I had a 3.6 GPA with full intent to keep it at that level. My sophomore year I had this combination of having various multiple "episodes" throughout the year, and missing an unreasonable amount of school due to sickness and psych appointments. My junior year, I had every intent of getting that GPA back up after the drop I had my sophomore year. You know, all driven to make National Honors Society, blah blah blah.
And then we move right in the middle of my junior year.

As a result, my transcript is inconsistent and any college admissions person is going to look at it and go - WTF?

Needless to say all this college bull shit that I'm dealing with now, at the end of my junior year, makes me want to tell the entire world to shove their degrees up their asses. On the one hand, I love to learn. I love pouring over history textbooks, I love arguing/conversing with teachers/prof. On the other, a college education is basically a very expensive piece of paper to frame and hang on my wall and scribble on transcripts.

As if any of you care (then again, if you didn't, you wouldn't be reading this sorry excuse for a diary. I'm not forcing you to. Feel free to leave at any time), I've accumulated a list of colleges that I'm going to apply to. They start with the ones I really want to go to and move down accordingly. They're also linked, so if you want to check them out just click on the college/university

In State/Public	Out of State/Private
James Madison U	Ithaca College (NY)
George Mason U	Arcadia U (PA)
Virginia Commonwealth U	Fordham U (NY)

So because yours truly is a looser, I spent at least an hour just hanging out at Starbucks today, even though I don't have to work. It's really funny because a lot of us [that work there] end up doing that. There was three people working there tonight, and at least four other of us were just hanging out, sipping our coffee, smoking a bit, and chatting with each other and the regulars.
They're all so great, I wish I fit in better. I'm the youngest one, most are college students or at least they've graduated high school.
I took some pictures (that won't come out, the lighting was bad) of Peter and Josh, and tomorrow Natasha [co-worker] and her "model friend" (One of the guys told me she used to "model" porn, but I question that) are coming by and we're going to try to find somewhere to have a photoshoot. Saturday I have another photo shoot, with this [attractive, intelligent, talented, straight] girl from my Philosophy class. No, I do not have a crush on her. If I did, I'd mention that. I just thought that I'd point out that if she was gay, I'd be attracted her her. Does that make any sense? I think you'd have to be gay to know what I mean. Anyway, I'm trying hard to find some nature-y places to take pictures at, but really, this is the suburbs of DC and I don't want to drive further then fifteen minutes away and... eek fuck I need to get to bed.

A better entry some other time.
