So it's official. UW did not reply in time; the deadline for enrollment at Western is tomorrow, so I have no choice but to accept.

Which means... this winter, I'm moving to Bellingham.

Gonna be living in student housing. Gonna have to have a job. And I'll be on my own. Completely and totally, and for the first time in my entire life.

Maybe it doesn't seem like a big deal to a lot of you... but this is basically the opening of a new chapter in my life. I wish I were exaggerating.

I have zero experience being independent. At my age, that's nigh inexcusable, really; I realize that. I'm jumping into the deep end of the pool with no experience to help me keep myself afloat; I can probably expect to make a few mistakes, experience more than my share of difficulties. And yeah, I'll be fixing them on my own or not at all. Yeah, that's kind of scary. Yeah, it shouldn't be. But it is.

Still... if there's one thing I can trust about myself, it's that I produce the best results when I'm under pressure. And if this isn't pressure? Hell if I know what is.

So...

Here... we... go.

P.S., bastards are making me jump through a lot of hoops Re: Measles immunization. How the hell was I supposed to know I would have to have two shots, when standard procedure at the time I was born was for there to be only one? Ffff. Well, I'm getting a shot tomorrow. Cutting it damn close, too.

IKR. This came out of fucking nowhere.

Yeah, that's kind of awkward. They even kept trying to make me get more shots to go to Japan and then I didn't get them and went anyway.

But that is really weird.
