Hey everybody! Nobody's spoken in a while so I thought I'd ramble a bit of an update on here for anybody who checks it.
In case you haven't heard, I'm now in Merced. I have a freshmen mandatory event day tomorrow and classes begin Tuesday. I already talked with my parents, Kate, and Jeff, but for those of you who I haven't gotten around to calling here's where I stand on it all:
I am really upset and unhappy about being at UC Merced. Not that it isn't a good school it's just not a good school for me. The town is not really what I was looking for in terms of a social leisure time scene. Due to my unhappy stance (although I am doing what I can to pull myself together and make the best of it), I plan to transfer out at the spring semester. I'm looking into USF (taking the tour this upcoming Friday), Saint Mary's, and Notre Dame de Namur. For now I plan to come home every weekend of the semester unless I find myself comfortable enough to stay (although at this point I am seriously doubting it).
I want to thank you all for your support thus far and any future support that may come. It means a lot to me to have family there to help me figure out this difficult obstacle in my life.

Jenny, Merced may be the perfect place to be but you'll never know if you don't give it a legitimate try. Don't come home every weekend- instead volunteer with a campus organization so you can meet new and interesting people. Suffer through just a bit and you may surprise yourself. Don't throw in the towel before classes have even begun. xxoo Kristy
ReplyDeleteHey Jenny,
ReplyDeleteSometimes life throws you a curveball. If you fight it, it gets worse! I wonder what would happen if you decided to stick it out and make the best of it for a year with the same energy that you are expending to fight this experience! Probably a lot of good things!!! Jenny, you are the most stubborn person in this entire family (that's saying a lot) and I am certain that if you stubbornly refuse to let this be bad, it will be so good for you. You have the power here, kiddo.
