Snowpocalypse, snomg!!! Snomore!

Okay, enough with the witty snow references. Honestly, this snowpocalypse is beginning to piss me off. I though I would never say this, but I'm getting tired of the snow. I think it's due to the endless shoveling that is required. The good news is that I haven't had classes all week, so happy birthday to me!

Lately I've been catching up with some friends I haven't spoken to in a while. I just finished talking to Jenny from middle school, and we caught up for a while. She's in Detroit now, but plans on moving back to MD because it's not exactly where she envisions herself. I remember she went to MICA, and I assumed that she graduated from there, but she confessed that she only lasted 2 years there. She told me that MICA does have it's ups and downs, and that it's back to back studio classes. That's something I'm used to so it's not a big deal, but she did say that it was a "really out there school." I've heard that from a lot of people, and for those who don't know, "really out there" can be a bad thing. Yes you can find artist context in everything, but filming yourself masterbating and presenting it for a project is just wow. Now my artistic side is kicking in and I'm about to internally start arguing about how pornography can be viewed as a form of art. ANYWAYS...she told me that the tuition itself was $38,000 without supplies and food. So again, it's $50,000. Even though I find myself being depressed at times for not being where I think I should be, I feel like I'm not missing out on anything. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I hate Baltimore with a fiery passion. If I had gone to MICA, that would require me to go in to Baltimore everyday. The most time I've spent downtown lately was at Penn station waiting for the shuttle to take me to Towson. She also told me that she's planning on studying law and paralegal stuff, but at the moment she's playing mommy to her 16 month old twin boys. I honestly didn't see her becoming a mom this early, and she told me that. She said that a lot of people didn't see this coming. As shocking as it was to read that she's now a mommy, reality has hit me once again. Friends are getting engaged, married, having children, etc. I'm nowhere near ready to walk down that road yet, but still. One day I'll get to that point, but not now.
