CCA visit

So, at the moment I am in "sunny San Fransisco" (and by "sunny" I mean it's been pouring and by "San Fransisco" I mean one of the many little towns far from it but still part of the bay area). We drove alllll the way here from Arizona in one trip, after leaving at 2pm because the boy had work. We got here at, like, 3 in the morning California time (which is an hour behind, wow), slept in the car in the middle of Piedmont, but I couldn't really sleep because of bad stomach problems, so I drove around for awhile. Went by Pixar (OMG I FANGASMED ALL OVER THEIR STREET!) and went up into the hills to see a beautiful view, and drove down towards Berkley and back. Then, after the Cory woke up and we got breakfast, it started to rain, right in time for our tour of CCA.

I have to say, I was not impressed. I think High School Me would've been okay with it, even excited about it, but Already Dealt With College Me is like "Ugh, what's new?" They have an interdisciplinary mindset, which is fine and even awesome, but so much of it I've already done and part of it is me feeling bad that I missed out on the better classes, and also just, I dunno...

One of the things I'm trying to get is an overall feeling of connection with a place, you know? And I didn't really get that there. I couldn't see myself swiping my card to get into the animation department, I couldn't see myself living in and walking around this area of the Bay, I just couldn't see it.

So maybe that means I should just not. Even though I have a scholarship, even though it would only take two years, I think I probably will just not. I'm not going back to complete my current education - I'm going back to start a brand new one. That's my vision. (Well, if I manage to cut out some english etc classes, that's always good XD). And I want to learn everything from the best. So that's what I'm gonna try to do.

I visit Calarts on Tuesday. I'm super excited. But today, my aunt is gonna take us to the heart of SF. We're gonna take a ferry! Now I wish I knew the "I'm on a boat!" song better....
