It's so long. I used to relish the summer break between the school years. Not so much any more.
I decided on NAU for school, though I think I already blogged that. I had orientation a few weeks ago and picked out my classes. Since getting accepted to NAU, I've encountered a few obstacles that, to be honest, are really irritating. Because my admission to NAU was so recent, I missed the auditions for the School of Music. Without being in the SoM, I can't take the classes required for my major (choral music ed.), which is already a 4 1/2 - 5 year degree. I can't take my music classes. I cried when I found out. My academic advisor wasn't the least bit sympathetic. I just kept asking, "What CAN I do to make this the best situation possible?" and he just looked at me. I wanted to yell: You don't know a thing about me. Don't look at me like that. Music is the heart & soul of all that I do. HELP ME. Alas, you can't yell at people like that. So I didn't.
And then there's housing. Chels is already up at NAU, and naturally, I chose her as my roomate. We were all excited, planning out how we were going to redecorate her dorm in Allen, become RA's, and all that. Then about a week ago, my dad found out that he would have the means to possibly supply us an apartment. AN APARTMENT? Waaay better than a dorm. Dad & I drove up to check it out on Monday. The place was dirty & grimy, but looked like it had potential. The downside was that it's two miles from campus, which is inconvenient without a car. For Chels, it was a matter of money. Until she saw the apartment. With her schedule, the apartment doesn't look like it's going to work. I can't have the apartment unless I have a roomate. And it's quite late to be looking for a roomate for an apartment when school starts in a month.
Now it looks like we'll be on campus. But, here's the catch. Chels found out that if we decide to keep one another as roomates, she will not be able to keep her dorm at Allen. We will be at McConnell. On the south side of campus. The farthest dorm from everything. E v e r y t h i n g. I don't want to make Chels live somewhere she doesn't want to. So I'm not going to.
I'm just frustrated. I wanted things to look better for the fall. But right now, my heart is kind of broken. I'm probably just being overdramatic. Someone get me to Flag and slap me.
