the game

i just had my friend and her mom play rock, paper, scissors while i had predetermined which person was which of my two schools. her mom won, meaning i would go to Mass Art.

i was rather happy with that decision, but as time passes i get more and more questioning of any decision i make, rather than just being happy with a choice.

today i also started a pro list for each school, listing positive attributes of each school. it only proves more of everything i have said before... MICA has a strong argument with great housing options and a solid environment, where i know i would get a good education and such. but as much as i love it as a school and think i would be happy there, it also seems a little intense and too distant from any other college students and people i know and love, etc, etc. i do have a friend there, but it just seems scary to go to an unknownish area. although i have spent a lot of time there and completely LOVE LOVE LOVE one of the museums there, especially their gift shop.

Mass Art is unknown in the education realm since i have no experience there and the reports from students seem a little more wishy washy than those of MICA's faculty. yet, it seems comforting to be lost in such a crazy, busy world, rather than the intensity of MICA. perhaps i am just avoiding MICA, i don't know. the benefits of the atmosphere of boston and the people i know around and the college city, seems perhaps like something to leap and see if the education is more than it appears. there is a chance i am also making their education seem evil in my head just because it isn't as "perfect" or "superior" or whatever as some other schools may seem to me.
