I’m becoming super comfortable at my community college.

But the sick reality is that I need to eventually figure out a path. I need to figure out when I’m leaving.

And if I’m doing the right thing!!!

Am I getting the right associate’s degree? I think so?

And I’ll be honest…I think I’m off to Minnesota. I don’t think there’s much for me in Illinois. School-wise, that is. And University of Minnesota has a great communications program. One of the best in the United States. As for Illinois? the best on is Northwestern, and I can’t afford that. I looked into the tuition deal, and Minnesota actually costs less. Including the two campuses I looked into (Duluth and Crookston).

As much as I’m absolutely terrified of what’s coming next, more honesty…

As much as I can think of what I’m leaving behind…I’m thrilled to see what’s in the future.

Besides, I figured if I do leave…the important people will maintain contact and will continue to be in my life whether I stay or leave.

So, not trying to count chickens or anything…but I think that I’m headed to Minnesota come 2013. As soon as I get my (correct) associates degree from Oakton. I’m hella excited. For once, I feel like I’m headed in the right direction. It’s so refreshing. :)
