i had some sort of epiphany yesterday morning and sent an email to defer my acceptance at columbia to the fall of 2011. i am now part of columbia college chicago class's of 2015.

i have no idea what i'm doing with my life, but i guess i am willing to find out. by the end of august, i better be equipped with a job, and i am willing to go wherever. time to find a map and a dart to throw at it.

crazy thing is, i feel more secure with my decision than i have with any i've made this entire year, despite the fact that it completely turns my world upside down.

and i am happier than i was yesterday, the day before, and the day i sent in my $250 deposit.
