École: Yup
So I decided not to go to Columbia. I had to weigh being in debt for the rest of my life paying $40,000 a year against my need to have a piece of parchment that says Columbia University on it. Yes, I could ask my dad for the money, but I want to do this on my own. I want to prove that I can make it on my own. I want to be able to say that I put myself through college. I don't want to live under his thumb and have to account for every dime I spend and justify every decision I make. I have been told that this is not the smartest move to make.
I honestly didn't think I'd get in and the only reason I applied was to shut my dad up about it. I applied there when I was in high school, got in, and turned it down over a boy (don't all tragedies in my life center around a boy?). My friend, Tim, said that I'm a fool. He said I am the only fool that he knows that got accepted and turned down Columbia twice. He also said that only people raised with money make blanket statements like, "I want to prove," "I need to show," or "I want the world to see." I told him to suck it. My dad wasn't around as much as he thinks he was (weird, ain't it, how parents rewrite history when they don't like how *they* behaved at a particular moment in time, but go out of their way to ram *you* over the head with your bad behavior). My mama raised me and the Dimebox way of life is hard work and sacrifice.
I made this decision with a clear conscious. I made it taking me, what I want, what I need, into consideration. I didn't factor in any guy (Richard thinks I'm nuts to turn down getting to live in New York City.) I didn't think about my family. I thought about me. I'm getting a fine education where I am, I can visit New York City anytime I want to, and I don't have to deal with cold weather or bulky winter clothing. No matter how hard I try to flee, I can't get away from Austin.
And, deep down inside, I guess I really *do* bleed burnt orange. Hook 'em.

It does. I'm a nerd and I'm saying it. I know, I know. They're going to take away my Nerd membership card. Classes are seriously difficult. I've actually had to study this semester. OMG. Honestly, I can't remember the last time I had to do that. These teachers are smoking some crack. I haven't had a single multiple choice test all semester. They actually require me to *know* the information and not just make an educated guess based on the options available. What's up with that?
Seriously, though. My Logic class is kicking my ass. I now know that I am not a linear thinker. I don't think it matters if I take the scenic route as long as I get to the point, but my professor begs to differ. I think this class started out with like 150 people and we're down to 17. That's right, seventeen. Flipping quitters. Grrrr.....
Our professor posted the grades. Out of the 17 people left, only 4 people passed the first test. Four. One person got a low B. Three people got a C. Everyone else failed. Failed miserably. I am a nerd. I pride myself on being a nerd. I embrace my nerdiness.
I've never been so happy to make a C in all my life.....
