It's exceedingly bizarre how transient one's outlook on his future can be. For two years I've more or less told myself I'm going to TC3 and then transferring somewhere, heavily based under the assumption that my parents wouldn't be paying for anything. Apparantly this isn't really the case, and I don't know why. My mom just walked in and proposed that I go to Houghton for a year or two and then take IC up on that whole free tuition business for another 2 years. For the unaware, Houghton's a mostly liberal arts school (with some focus on music), somewhere in the regions of the state. I have been, in the past, heavily opposed to going to Houghton because it's a Christian college (there's a certain breed of "Christian" that places like Houghton attract that I find intolerable, even if they're just a small portion of the populace). But, when mom suggested it tonight, I realized I don't actually care that much. It'd be nice to just have a definitive plan for the future, or something.

My only worry is that I, uh, have absolutely no applications or recommendations or anything of that sort. Exciting times. We'll see how this goes.
