Because reading about torts is already boring...

I figure it's time for a new post.

Today, I'll talk about why I'm glad I'm here and not going back to Harding this semester.

First, I love living by my own rules. I know that sounds as if I'm taking advantage of the opportunity to do whatever I want, but that's not really what it's about. I love making my own decisions about what is right and wrong, or, more often, what is good or bad, or, even more often, what is beneficial and what is detrimental. I hated, and still hate, having morals forced upon me. Now I have an opportunity to make decisions about what I can and cannot do, and it's a lot more fun. And yes, I'm still being the good little HU alum, for those of you who were wondering.

Secondly, it's nice to live in a bigger city. City size is such a relative term, but for my purposes, let's try this:
Small town - no walmart
small city - no mall
city - no professional sports team
big city - no major professional sports team
really big city - all of the above

This counts as a big city to me. I like it.

Finally, it's nice to be in a more academic program. They call it professional, but I struggle to think a business program is not, even at the undergraduate level, a professional program, and yes, I'm refraining from comments on that of the alma mater. However, it's obvious that this is going to be a much more strenuous learning experience than what was experienced in Arkansas. As scary as it may be, it's also exciting.

Now, if I could just get a certain someone over to visit me...
