I... have a lot of emotions right now.

The long story short, is that I was just accepted to a college that I didn't think I'd get in to. I start on the 3rd of January, giving me this month to prepare to move out, hopefully for good.

The long story is that, as I think I've mentioned once or twice, I've been in a bad place for the last couple years. Part of it came from when I first went to college: I had a really bad year and came back home to my super dysfunctional family. I think I was (and might still be) somewhat depressed. Getting back into school was hard for me, even just taking two classes at my local community college. With my family lording over me and all motivation for existence pretty much gone, I felt like I'd never get out. It's been almost two years since I left my old university, but I've felt this way for a long time. I applied to three universities, though when compared to some of my friends' applications (they're now applying to nursing school) my efforts were barely half-assed. I've been worried and stressed and feeling like my life was just one great continuing cycle that would go on until I die. Dramatic maybe, but in my defense, I've been in the same damn position that I've always been in for 21 years now. And then tonight, i got a letter in the mail. I'll be going to a great school in a city that I love. I'm not going to be stuck at home with an emotionally manipulative parent. I'm not going to rot away in my teeny tiny town. I'm going to go back to college and I'm going to get out of here. In January, I can start getting my life back on track. I know that not all of my problems are going to magically go away, though I really wish the world worked that way, but damn, this feels like a good place to start.
