Underwhelmed

I know it's been about a week since I posted, but boy, do summer classes take a lot out of you. I am currently in Anatomy and Physiology II and Chemistry I. I go to class every day for an hour in each class, and I have longer days on Wednesday and Thursday for labs. It really is a lot, but I know it'll be worth it when I'm done with it all. However, it has stressed me out big time. So I really need to figure out something to release this stress because it is not healthy.
Now for the reason for this post. Last weekend, I went home. Saturday we went to Tybee Island, which is right next to Savannah. Armstrong Atlantic State University is in Savannah, so I had the chance to see the campus. I knew not to expect that many people since it was a holiday weekend. However, it wasn't what I expected. First off, it wasn't in historic Savannah. It was more in the actual city about ten minutes away from historic. Once we hit the campus, we drove around it. It was small. Very small. I think it's smaller than the first college I attended for my freshman year. I wouldn't really be surprised since there are only three dorms on campus. Yeah, I'm not kidding. Only three dorms. I'm sure everyone else lives off campus but still, that is not much. I also realized that traffic on a Saturday afternoon in the summer is horrendous. It was very crowded. I know I shouldn't have been so surprised since Savannah is a big tourist city, but I would have figured most of the people would have been in either the historic region or the beach.
I'm not really sure if this is where I want to go. I usually don't do well with small schools. I like big schools with a big sports program (what can I say? I go to a big football school). I know the beach is right there, but I do want to check out the other schools before I make a decision. I know in the planning is a trip to Orlando so I'm hoping to see the University of Central Florida because that is a bigger school.
