Oh my god, an update. Maybe she's gone crazy. So. I'm in Tempe, AZ. Interesting, no? I came down here for four days with my father to visit ASU campus and get a feel for the place I would potentially live. My hopes were high for things to be wonderful up here, weather would be lovely, people would all be really nice and ASU would be magnificent. Then I got here. And I discovered that I under-anticipated everything. Arizona is marvelous. There are a million reasons why this is where I should be. Though I have only been here for 2 days, I absolutely love it. I've met a few interesting people. Got a chance to meet up with a friend, which was pretty refreshing. All in all, I'd say that I don't really want to leave, but I can't wait to come back. I have found that pulling the hurricane card in other states not only gets you sympathy, but also better financial aid. And somehow after being here i'm not so concerned with the money thing. If I can't afford it, I'll just take out student loans and be in debt til I'm 80. Life is all about sacrifice, right? So though I have not accomplished all that i would have liked to, I am satisfied with my experience. I have hope for the future. After all, I still have a whole day left here. Maybe tomorrow will be more prosperous. Cheers. .Meredith
