After much thinking, talking, phone calls, crying, happiness, sadness, getting info, weighing options, confusion, frutration, and restless sleep... I've decided to apply to Lewis & Clark College to study Sociology and Anthropology. At least right now I am feeling like I want art to be my hobby but not necessarily my job, because I am not enjoying trying to improve my art skills; I'd rather just create art the way I want to and not be told what's wrong with it. It was probably the most difficult decision I've made in my entire life so far. Because I love San Francisco, I love living on my own, I have amazing friends here, and of course I love Sang. And leaving SF basically means breaking off the most awesome relationship I have ever been through... Nine months of going out (and eight of those living together constantly) is not an easy thing to let go of.

I have more I could say but livejournal isn't really the place to put all of it.

:-( You will be greatly missed. We definitely need to hang out before you go.

That's a really tough decision and I admire you for having the stregnth to make it. Something humorous to ponder though: remember back when we both had a dream of being a Japanese teacher? It seems like we've both given up on that one and shifted to anthropology. To be specific I'm going to start studying linguistic anthropology in the winter. Goofy how we seem to have the same academic interests regardless of communication.

I really admire the thought you put into that decision Alanna. What will be sad is leaving Sang and the city of SF. :-( I've always known you're very smart, and you are a talented artist, but you excel at other things also. Good luck in wherever you decide to study!

Good wishes from me too. I hope your decision turns out to be the best it could be. I'm sure there are plenty of people here who will be willing to listen if you need to vent. Good luck.
