Good Morning World, Good Morning Bora

Bora feels like he just woke up with a hangover. A 'mental' one - this is a term Bora wants to invent for the sake of his blog. After two painstaking days of worrying and about anxious about the future - Bora feels a bit more calm and content at the prospect of his future.

Although when Bora woke up, he did not have any tiger friends à la The Hangover. 

So I'm going to pause the third-person narration for the sake of practicality and your sanity. I first want to thank those who put up with the negativity of my last post, I apologize but I felt it would be worthwhile in the long run of this blog. 

So I had a lot of time to think over the past two days, and I understand why I was frustrated at my university:

1) If I want to study business, they do not offer it

2) If I want to be a professional architect, I cannot become one at my school

3) If I wanted to study interior design, that is another department that is not available

So therefore there are three main problems that I can now pinpoint about my school. And even though knowing and and enumerating them does not change the reality - it helps keep things clear - which helps.

Lessons for Intrinsic Fulfillment

1) If something is bothering you, get/write it out. Getting things clear and out of your mind onto paper will help you deal with them better.

Note: Except in this place paper figuratively means a blog on the internet. 

Yesterday night, I called one of my best friends Elemiah. 

Who is Elemiah?

Name: Elemiah

Title: Angel of Inward Joureys

Job Description Appointed by God:  Protects those who travel by water, guides us to recall insights from our subconsious.

Elemiah and I. (I am the brunette, she is the blond - except in life she is more of a dirty blond - both literal and figurative, I joke joke - but will not say whether about the former or latter kind of blond I mean) 

Maybe you're getting a slight hint - but Elemiah, like Bora, is a pseudonym. This will be a recurrent theme of my blog, both to maintain my privacy and protect those of whom are involved in my life.

The reason I specifically chose the pseudonym Elemiah for my friend is that she really fits the description - she is amazingly empathetic and is always willing to lend an ear and always helps me understand myself better. 

So back to the topic - yesterday I called Elemiah. I asked her to read the previous post (the very first official post - I had written many others but felt they were not good enough and hence saved them as templates and do not plan on publishing them). 

We spoke on skype for about two hours, during which we spoke about many things - but mainly my 'college dilemma.' Before Elemiah quite didn't know what the college dilemma was - and I suspect she thought it was one of my other 'panics' (I can get melodramatic without realizing sometimes) but after she read my post I think she understood that this one was a serious, legitimate concern. 

Oh Skype - how I love you so. 

She basically pointed out one simple but reassuring fact - if I genuinely feel as though there is something I want to study that isn't offered at my school - I can always transfer .

It'd be nice to have people help me transfer. Carry my luggage and the like. (Displayed above)

So then on a whim, I looked into a number of schools. I found that the Stern Business School of New York University provides me with an opportunity to double major in business administration and psychology through its college of arts and science at the same time. That seems to be a good fit but Stern is notoriously selective, and I believe that transferring into Stern on most occasions would even more difficult than undergraduate admissions. Plus, wouldn't New York be exciting?

A school that I would have a better shot is Bentley University - it is in the outskirts of Boston and I could study both business and psychology there - and I haven't looked into it but I hear Boston College has a similar set up. 

So basically, if I want to transfer, there are schools that would offer a combination of programs that would be suited for me. But for the time being, I want to reflect upon why I chose the school that I did after two meticulous years of research on schools. Hopefully this reflection will make me realize that I came here for a reason - and that is what my next post will be dedicated to. 

Peace of Mind.

I need some of that.
