yeah

i just got in from delivering papers in the pouring rain. what an adventure. in other news, i’m considering a transfer. i know it sounds ridiculous that after spending five years at one school, i would leave to finish my last year, but it is something that i have to take a look at. the reason? well, to be honest (and that’s all i’ll ever be on this program), i failed some classes. yeah, not one or two, but some. basically this creates a situation where it is impossible for me to finish in one semester, whether i stay or go, and the simple fact is that i cannot afford ouachita any longer now that my scholarships are gone. plus, since my dad is employed by the university of arkansas, i would receive a 40% or so discount on tuition. the other thing to consider is that i really haven’t liked ouachita for a few years now. pretty much i’ve been sticking it out because i hate quitting stuff, which is, i guess, how i view a transfer for some reason. but the more i think about it, the more it seems like a good idea. i’ve gotta figure out what God thinks about it, though. i have to consider how hard it might be to adjust to a new school, and one where i would potentially only remain at for two semesters (i might stay and get a masters). i do happen to know a decent amount of people that go to arkansas, even one in the music department, so it wouldn’t be completely cold there. plus, they have an orchestra that i could play in and i could forever leave behind wind ensemble, which i hate. another thing is that i grew up wanting to be a razorback and now i have that chance. i would actually get to go see a razorback football game and experience being at a large-ish university with sports teams that people care about. and maybe i could even play on the ultimate frisbee team (known as ludicrous speed). hmmm…there’s a lot to consider, and this blog post was kinda me getting those thoughts on…screen.
