This week was just okay and really busy. I was running errands every day and it took a lot out of me. This week I have been at war with the house sparrow that won't stop building a nest in the bird house. I have decided to leave the door down because if it's up all the time nothing will go in it, not even native species. So I have been leaving it down, but because of that the house sparrow will not stop trying to build a nest. Every morning I remove it and every day it keeps building a new one. Like, just give up. I'm never going to stop removing your nest as long as I stand and you're just going to waste your entire breeding season building something that will never get finished.

I think that I've decided that I'm going to transfer to CSU next semester instead of continuing at my current university. I submitted an application and was admitted! I wasn't very worried about not get accepted - it's acceptance rate is around 90%- but I'm still happy that I got in. Although I feel like I've made my decision I still want to talk to people before I lock myself in by putting down a $300 deposit. I scheduled a meeting with counselors from both institutions, and I feel like my meeting with CSU will be like "Yes! You should 100% go here (because we want your money)" and SIUE will be like "No! Don't go there! Stay here (because we want your money)." Still, even if both meetings are like long advertisements, I want to talk to CSU about housing, transfer credits, tuition, and job opportunities, and with SIUE about how I need to go about transitioning from one school to the other.

Thinking about transferring schools and having only about six weeks left of this semester has given me a weird feeling. Like, it's not like when you feel like you're basically done and slack off all your work. It's like I already feel done with this place. My head's already in Colorado and here is just a temporary place to stay.
