Ships in Port

I've realized lately that I tend to get really big ideas right before I have to leave for work. I'm not sure why this is. Maybe it's because that's when I'm online looking through random things in an attempt to distract myself from the night ahead. Maybe not. Either way, I had another idea to add to my long list last week.

I guess it wasn't that new of an idea. The whole thing is actually something I've been considering for a few months now. However, I was talking to Jocelyn on Facebook and she mentioned something about how she wished Carley and I were down at UVU with her for various reasons. We were just joking with each other while I helped Carley with a picture she was editing for Jocelyn, but still. What she said sparked my thoughts and I found myself telling her that I had actually been considering transferring down there. We talked more and she said that she would help me figure out a budget.

The result of all of this has been a lot of hard thinking for me. Can I really afford to transfer to UVU? Turns out that the answer to that is yes. It means changing some of my other long term plans, but which plans are likely to be best for me? I want to go to London next summer, that's very true. What I've realized over the last few months, though, is that I really don't like Weber. I don't feel like I'm going to meet my potential there. I also feel like it would be really good for me to be out on my own... At least a little bit.

Jocelyn and I were hanging out at her house last week when we came across this quote on pinterest:

A ship in port is safe, but that's not what ships are for.

I guess I'll leave it at that for now. Once again, I have to go to work. But that's the latest on me. I'm finishing out the rest of the semester at Weber and then I'll spend the summer saving for my first year at UVU. I'm kind of really excited.
