People Suck

In previous posts I've blogged about what my future plans for college are... or were... they pretty much have completely changed within the last month. So just to freshen your memory...my plans were to go to the community college, Kirkwood, for two years, then transfer to the university, UNI, to finish off my major in accounting and becoming a C.P.A. Luckily, I'm still pretty set on that major, but maybe thinking about majoring in public relations as well, but I'm not so sure about that one yet.

But.. the reason my entire plan changed is because about a month ago Kirkwood sent me a letter saying that they were cancelling their accounting program for the fall of 2009, basically when I would be starting. They sent me this after they sent me a list of classes I would be taking, how much I would owe, housing information, and exactly what I would need to go there. The letter said I was only accepted if I changed my major and I would have to go through the whole application process again. Truthfully it was kind of a really rude letter... it kind of made it seem like I did something wrong and it was my fault for a program they originally said they had.

I was kind of freaking out after I got this letter, because I had so many plans figured out about where I was going to live, who I was going to live with, and everything. I didn't just wanna bail on all of my plans.. I was really excited for them. So I started looking for a new college.. this one in
Cedar Rapids because I kind of really want to stay in Cedar Rapids for a while. Like part of me wants to just leave Cedar Rapids as soon as I can and start over where no one knows me because part of me is extremely sick of this city and the people I have to deal with everyday. But, the other part of me, which is winning, wants to stay in Cedar Rapids and still be able to see my mom and sister every once in a while because they were all I had while I was growing up.

So, when I was looking for another college to apply to, I realized I had until March 1st, one week, to find a new college. It was so messed up and hectic. I really think that they should have given me more time. I mean my plans were set and they just send me a letter and expect me to figure out a second plan of what I want to do with my life in a week.

So, now I am going to Coe College next year. I got accepted with a $60,000 scholarship that I get over the four years. I'm pretty excited. I heard they have a good accounting program. So, I guess we'll see....
