Hello, everyone! Sorry for the much later than usual post...I just got back from looking at the college. Thanks sooo much for your comments. *nods* Grifter, yours was especially hillarious...definitely the reaction I'd expect from a guy (but remember, you're married!!!). AurionAddict, thanks sooo much for commenting! I don't want you to leave mO!! *hugs* I love your comments...and you're such a great friend. We have so much in common. *nods* Kilwoon...wow, that was one of the longest comments I've ever seen, same with yours, Asuka-chan! *hugs* I also got comments from people I haven't heard from in a while! ^^ That makes me feel good...thanks for not forgetting about me.
So...today was the big visit day to Immaculata...well, it was supposed to be. *laugh* My dad said that the sheet said it was going to be an open house from 10am-2, so we thought that we could just go whenever between those times and look around and whatnot...well, it turned out that you had to get there at 10 and be there the entire time to get a tour and presentation and stuff. We got there around 1, so we missed everything. This lady (that turned out to be a counselor there) just gave my mom and dad lots of info. She at first thought that it was my mom that was thinking about going there. *laugh* See!! She still looks plenty young! Well, she didn't even notice me...even after my mom said that "no, it's my daughter Kelsey that might be going here..." she still paid me no attention. She didn't come up to me, say "hi", introduce herself or anything!! She didn't even know I was there...I guess I have no presence...*sigh* So I just sat there, or stood...or went outside with my arms crossed making as little contact as possible while they talked. My oldest brother, Derek, came along, and so we stood outside, while watching these nuns talking.
The college overall is pretty nice-looking...it gives off that older church atmosphere. It looked very peaceful...though I didn't get to see any of the inside, the outside looked nice. Since they just started allowing male students to enroll, they're just starting to renovate the school to have more sports areas and such. I'm not a sports person at all, so I really don't care. The lady said that now it's about a 2:1 ratio (girls to guys) entering, and that the freshmen class is usually about 300 people. That is VERY small compared to most colleges. My brothers' were usally around 1000 or more. I sorta like that...I want a small college, with small classes...where people will know pretty much everyone...it'll seem quieter and more friendly to me. *nods* So, yeah, I actually think that I liked it...though the way I sat and stood there made me look like an anti-social jerk, I could open up. And, I also learned, that only about 15% of the classes are taught by nuns. There's a morning mass everyday, but you don't have to attend (for one thing, I'm not Catholic). It didn't sound that bad.
After we left there, my dad decided to take me to drive around this other college that's close, West Chester. It's much larger, with a ton more guys...more rowdy and such. It's the college around here that most kids say they're going to go cause it's the easiest to get into...and it's the most slack with rules. It looked to me like there'd be probably a lot of parties and whatnot...definitely not my style. It scared me, that area...seeing all these kids walking around everywhere, and they all looked like the slacker-types anyway. Not to say that I don't have slackers for friends, or that I'm not a slacker often...it's just...that college seems like it's for the people that gave up on anything that requires more effort. I hope I'm not forced to go there. It would have more class choices, but that's it.
So...there you have it. My day about going to look at colleges. ^^; I sure felt depressed and cranky after the visits though...especially anti-social. It's a good thing I brought a Descendents of Darkness manga to read in the car...to keep my sanity. *laugh* I took a one day break yesterday from reading Malcolm X (I've always been spelling it wihouth the second "L"...sorry about that! I never noticed. ^^;) so that I could read at least one manga...but I suppose I should start reading it again today. Well, I hope you all have a great day today! (Fantabulous, if you want) I have time to visit finally so I can visit your sites later!!! Yay! (This was a long post...sorry...^^;)
P.S. I put up one of those cute animated clocks in my profile. ^^ Of Chiyo-chan from Azumanga. I like it...but I would've rather had one from a less-popular anime. Though Azumanga is one of my faves! I would've loved an Air one. *nods*
