out of the office and into the springtime
gosh. what a weekend.
i visited UC on friday. that's university of cincinnati.
its amazing. it has a college called DAAP, which is design, art, architecture and planning, which happens to contain fashion design. i'd really like to go there. the program sounds challenging and exciting... and enveloping. it is a five-year program. it's known for its nocturnal/24-hour students... one of the professors got back from a trip out of the country at 4 am. he decided to go to his office. there he saw two FULL CLASSES in session. at 4 am. the kids just wanted to work. this sounds awesome to me.
another big thing about the program: co-ops. come the middle of my sophmore year, i would be co-opping every other quarter. i would not have summers off, but would instead be moving every three months, usually to new york city, most likely. i would get paid. and i would only be paying for three years of school.
this excites me. but also scares me. it sounds like a lonely life... moving every three months. and after that, i'd most likely have to live in NYC. it basically comes down to this: am i a career woman, or a family woman?
as a seventeen year old girl, this is hard for me to call. as of late, i had dismissed the thought of marriage after the breakup of a relationship i thought had been "the one." i was bitter and disillusioned. i didnt care if i never married. i wanted to make something of myself anyway. however, faced with the reality, it is hard to tell. i went to a wedding this weekend. i want a wedding. every girl does. yet, i want to be a fashion designer. it's incredibly difficult to weigh, especially when things are looking slightly brighter in the decaying pit of darkness that is my heart. (thanks, boys! you sure know how to do a girl right!)
so i guess i just have to keep thinking about it.
i love the school so much. i dont know about the university... i skipped the tour. it was raining.
like i said, i went to a wedding this weekend. this was largely unimportant, except that...
I HAVE A NEW PET!
her name is Marilyn, and she is a beta fish. she is the prettiest... she is sort of a fuschia red. perhaps i'll take a picture later. i love her so, and i sure hope she isn't too stressed about riding two hours in a van. she lives in a comfortable symbiosis with some bamboo. she could be the best pet ever. perhaps i will soon take a picture of her and share with the world.
it has been suggested to me that all beta fish are male. that is why they like to kill each other.
this may be true. regardless, i maintain the name Marilyn (she was named after Miss Monroe) because she is also named after Mr. Manson. and i will continue to call her "her," because her sexual orientation means nothing to me. i love her unconditionally.
i got new jeans today. guess jeans, much like those that met their unfortunate end at aqil's party. these ones are stretchy though. i hate stretchy jeans. but they just happened to be my best options.
i guess that's all.
