Well, I visited CIV today. It looks to be everything I was looking for in a school. Pretty lucky it's so close to everyone I want to be near. (Or nearly so. I need to figure out a way to kidnap Justin and Dara.) Jason even offered to pay the enrollment fee so I can get started. I said I'd think about that.

They said that I'd be in school for 18 months exactly, as long as I didn't skip any classes or drop anything. Maybe less if I can test out of some of the general education classes. Jason thinks I can. I tend to agree. After that I'll have my degree...

It still makes me panic. What if I can't get the financial aid? How is moving going to work? What is my family going to do now that they've changed everything to include me, started relying on me? I would hate to disappoint anyone. I don't want to make anyone sad. But I really want to do this.

After the tour, I went to see Coraline. That made me feel a little better. Nothing like a cutesy movie to put me in a better mood. I must have seemed a million miles away today. Maybe that's where my inner thoughts are.
