home sweet home
back in chicago! for like..A night.

busy busy busy day.
i need to see people.
and i have two tests to study for and a paper to write. bad timing all over the place.
and i need to go to mass.
and i need to figure out MY SUMMER.

things to figure out
A. where to spend it
1. ireland
2. chicago
3. champaign
B. once i choose where to spend it..do i want to go to other places for part of it..like when i'm going to go to ireland if i say chicago/champaign
C. summer classes
1. not take them
2. try and take one in the city
3. take an 8 week course in champaign
D. summer job
1. beg max n erma's even though they've told everyone they're not hiring any seasonal help
2. work somewhere else (waitressing..i need moneyyy)
i. where?
3. work in chicago versus champaign

so i guess here are my options...
Uno: spend the entire summer in ireland and work there
Dos: spend the summer in chicago working and go to ireland at some point
Tres: spend the summer in chicago working and taking a class and going to ireland at some point
Cuatro: spend the summer in champaign working and going to chicago on many weekends and Ireland at some point
Cinco: spend the summer in champaign working, taking a class, and going to chicago on many weekends and Ireland at some point

And then there's the issue of studying abroad....
-I know my mommy really wants me to study in ireland during the spring...I know it's the excuse she's looking for to move to Ireland entirely
-and i know my grandparents won't be alive for much longer and my mom keeps saying if i went there i could visit them a lot more than i usually can
-and i know i physically have room in my schedule. i have 15 classes left to take for a double major in math and english..which divided by 4 is a little less than 4 a semester..so it is possible...especially if i could get some credits there
-and i know that although i signed a lease..it is like 280 a month and i'd only be gone for 5 months...and i know that that is a RIDICULOUS amount of money to just waste like that, but my parents are so gun-ho on me studying abroad a semester that they keep saying that "it wouldn't be the end of the world if we paid the rent while you weren't there"..which is crazy but at the same time 5 months there is almost the same amount for the summer where i'm living now
-then there's my roomies...who i would never want to disappoint in a million years, and if there were real issues about me leaving for a semester then duh..they come first (a. because i love them dearly but of course i signed a lease too). i mean technically they would have an extra bedroom to put all their shit in and i know becky was thinking about studying abroad too...but i would never want to cause drama if it was a big deal
-and lastly....graduate school. como what?!


ohhh being 20 sucks.
