I'm returning to New Mexico in the Spring. I suppose you can never truly escape the Land of Entrapment... To be honest I am a little embarrassed in announcing this news, what with the big stink I made about being there. I spent the Summer trying to figure what the next step was going to be. My poor grades and probation status at UNM weren't going to get me transferred directly into a university, and I soon realized that going the junior college route would be put me back at square one (none of my credits were of any use to them).
I say this every time I go back to Albuquerque, but I really think things are going to be different. Being aware of the limited options I have back in Los Angeles might boost my drive to do better in school and I'm also going to be living off campus for a change (I already have a roommate lined up and everything). I just need to get over my separation anxiety from LA and make the best of it, which I definitely wasn't doing when I was there last. I would lock myself up in my room (leaving only for food) and count the days until my flight back home. But I guess we will just have to see come January, if I have the same outlook on the matter when I get there...
