Is This the End of Juniorcollegehumor?

I have good news and bad news. First the good, I have recieved news that it will most likely be possible for me to enroll at UC Irvine for the winter quarter, if I chose to do so. But doing so would bring to the end juniorcollegehumor.com, as I will no longer be in junior college.

Sure, I could feasibly create a new blog college "college humor" but its been done. Actually there is a collegehumor.com and it happens to be really funny. There will still be many stupid people to make fun of at real college, but the concept won't be original and won't be as funny.

If given the chance to jump from a junior college to a university I'd imagine that most people would immideatly jump at the offer. But I am not so sure. I wasn't really considering UCI anymore. Right now I'm in the middle of two applications, USC and Loyola-Marymount again. I figured I'd apply to those schools, and possibly wait a second year and try to get into UCSB, San Diego, or even Berkeley. But UCI threw a wicked curveball and I have two weeks to respond.

In making this important decision I must weigh the pros and cons. First I'll list the pros.

1. Living by myself.
2. Hot chicks
3. Hot Asian chicks
4. Its not the Valley
5. Hot Asian chicks
6. Leaving behind all my friends

And now the cons
1. I will no longer be able to write blogs about junior college while sitting on my toliet. (Which I am doing right now)
2. No more small classes
3. No car (I'm not taking it with me)
4. I won't be able to ski. (I just bought $500 skis on Friday night and if I go to Irvine I won't be taking them with me.)
5. In leaving behind all my remaining friends I'm leaving two friends I care about.

But its funny, I actually don't want to leave my school. I like it. My classes are small, and taught by professors who actaully care. I've made two or three new friends who are pretty cool, and I actually like the classes I'm taking.

I know I'll probably like the classes I'm taking at UCI too, but I'm not sure I want to throw away what I have going for me a JC right now. I guess its like Hamlet's soliquily. "To be or not to be."

I guess that's the question.

Should I stay and face what I know? Go to JC for a while longer, take some intersting classes and maybe learn somthing?

Or should I face the unknown and leave home? Go and venture into the New World, or as Willie Shakespeare put it "the Undiscovered Country" (Irvine) and face a new challange.

I don't know. I guess I have two weeks to decide. I shouldn't get ahead of myself. Lets say I fucked up completly in my classes the next two weeks and bomb my finals. Then UCI won't want me and I'll be stuck at JC in a worse position than I started.

Will I make the trek 73.1 miles down the freeway to the Undiscovered Country called Irvine? Dunno yet.

Maybe. Maybe not. But I am seriously considering it.
