Rochester was/is okay, the people were great, living there was nice, I just needed to get out of that school. I'd have to say I am better off for it but for about 9-11 months after I left I often would question the decision to leave my entire life behind for great uncertanty. I left the house and the people I loved living with, left all my friends, left the geekyness, left 2 jobs where the people loved me and that I enjoyed, left 3 years of school behind, left my home basically for a not so wonderful appartment, a community college (what a joke that was at times...ok most of the time but student loans not coming due = invaluable), no friends (okay, one or two), no job, ignant people, no idea where I was going to go to school next and I was trying to fix myself from all the damage that was done from my time in school. There was a lot of good, but there also was a lot of bad. So, to say that I didn't like it in Rochester is not really it. It is more that I needed to leave for, you know, little things like sanity. Now though, I am living in a better appartment, have a good job, have small moments of geekyness w/ coworkers, more people that I can at least be social with, fencing and Aikido, classes at Cornell, and an opportunity to make myself much more marketable as a transfer student. I also don't feel so old anymore, and I think I am more at peace with everything.
ahem...And now returning to life, already in progress. Toodles.
