Georgetown University

Well it's decided, I'm going to Georgetown in the fall for the 2009-2010 school year. I'm a little sad because I did make a lot of good friends at Washington College and it makes me really sad to think I'm not going to see them anymore. I guess I'll make new friends at Georgetown but I'm such a shy person...it takes me a while to talk to people. Anyway, I got financial aid at Georgetown and I can afford to go and it's actually a little cheaper than Washington College. Wow I just can't believe my life is changing so fast. I got a totally different hair cut, I'm leaving the country for the first time, I'm going to a different college and maybe studying abroad in the spring...I just can't believe all this stuff is happening. I feel like for the first time after my parents got divorced that my life is actually going pretty well. If I said I'd be leaving Washington College with no regrets I'd be lying to myself. I wish that at Washington College I had more courage to tell my feelings to people and be more assertive. But I guess no use dwelling on what I wish I could have done, let's just look toward the future and see what it holds for me, wish me luck everyone!!

New Hair

Okay so I finally did it. I cut my hair so now it's just new growth, no perm or relaxed hair. Surprisingly I didn't cry when the lady was cutting it off, probably because my dad was there and he literally shows NO emotion about mostly anything but yeah, it's all gone. My younger sister said I looked okay and I haven't shown my middle sister yet because she will probably hate it. I still think it was a good idea and I guess I would do it over again if I had the chance to. I don't really compare myself to other people and I never really did so I guess seeing people with long hair won't really bother me because I've already had that you know, been there done that, but I do have to say I regret it a little but that's only because I've had my hair for so long and it just feels weird not having it. I think it's about time though because now I can't hide behind my hair anymore and I can see who will really accept me for the real me, hair and all. My mom says I look just like her when she got her hair cut off and I couldn't say that I disagree with her because I look like EXACTLY like her. Next weekend I'm going to get some hair accessories for my hair to make it look more girly LOL!!! But all that's left is to go to Korea this summer, hopefully the people there won't judge me so much just because of my hair. Oh did I mention that I go into Georgetown!!!!!!!!! YES!! I know, I was so excited when I got the acceptance letter that I ran all the way back to my dorm and was screaming at my roommate out of joy LOL!!! But the excitement went away when I saw how much the room deposit was....$900, yes people you read right 900 dollars so if I go to Georgetown, I can't go to the school in Korea this summer which is okay since I can still go to Korea and just stay with my friend. However, going to Georgetown depends on how much aid they give me. If they pay for at least half of the tuition like the school I'm going to now I can go but if they don't then I can't go because my parents just can't afford it......but I know my dad could come up with the money some how if I really wanted to go but I don't want to put my dad through all that debt when I can just go to a cheaper school.
