cum laude/ warming up to Penn State
I just sent in my Application to graduate, and I realized that I will graduate cum laude. That made me happy. I then realized how hard it must be to get a magna or summa cum laude. There are people out there that work so hard and I wish I was one of them. I know people like my sister and some of my friends seem to get themselves so motivated and going. They blow me away. On another topic, I am getting used to the idea of going to Penn State and am ready to turn down Georgetown unless they offer me a whole lot in the way of aid. I like bigger schools, and Penn State is definitely that. They also have a student film group and a Sign Language organization so I will be able to do those things there too. I also know that it will be easier to stretch a dollar in State College (that is the name of the town where Penn State is) than in D.C. and they really seem to want me, which can't be bad. PSU also wants to help me if I decide to do a Fulbright and I would get to teach German in their Undergrad Department. It seems like the pluses are now on the side of PSU. I am glad that I started to keep this journaly/blog-thing, because it has really helped me while making this decision.

Plus, Penn State is a little closer, which should facilitate visits from the Cities.
Student film group sounds promising. They've just announced a Student Film Festival here, no restrictions or anything. The only catch is that half of the cast/crew have to be current U of M students. I think that ammounts to a film of me and one other person.
Sounds like Penn State really -does- want you, which is no small thing. One thing to consider in this decision is where graduates got jobs when they finished at Penn State and GW.
