An update about my current college life and lack of social life

I'm back in San Diego after a busy day in Northridge, CA. I was there to talk to Cal State Northridge counselors, pay for books and housing (although I'm currently on a waitlist), and other things.

My enthusiasm for CSUN went down. Making your class schedule there is much more restrictive than at a community college, where you're able to take whatever amount of classes at your convience. I'm not use to it.
I'm suppose to have more classes than I'm use to. They want me to take 12 units per semester when I work better with 9 units. Because I'm registering for classes late, I'm forced to take irrelevant courses. I almost registered for a class in women's vacation habits, for god's sake! Luckily, I managed to get two film-related (i.e. relevant) courses. I've also been trying to repeat my photo class at CSUN. I took it at my community college this summer and I got a "D." It is also a prerequisite for the film production classes at CSUN. The university is highly restrictive on repeating classes, so I've been thinking of taking it at a local community college instead. The film adviser told me to take it at the college I previously went to, but that's impossible now! I can't go back to SD for that class if I'm attending CSUN! The schools are over 100 miles apart! The adviser also shouted at my parents to leave her office during our meeting! My parents have been nagging at me and stressing me out for weeks about what they want me to do at CSUN, even though I should be the one making those decisions. I was a little glad that she made them leave. Yet, at the same time, I felt very embarrassed and didn't like that she disrespected my parents.

Two things I'll be losing when I transfer to CSUN: my chances to go nightclubbing and drinking. :( My parents and my friend's mom, who's
letting me stay at her house this semester, won't let me do those things. I haven't been doing that stuff for a month, actually. I've been avoiding those activities due to depression, anxiety, bitterness, concern for well-being, or lack of money. Yet, I miss clubbing, seeing friends, and meeting new people there. Its good to know that there's an on-campus pub though. Regardless, very lame, indeed. My social life continues to wither away...

On the plus side, a couple of my friends and I are planning on attending Comic-Con next year. We're going to try and get the 4 day pass, so... I think we should definitely hang then. I want to go down there sooner *since I'll miss your visit to SF :/* but, one thing I do know is I'll be on those tickets the first chance I get. ^-^
