Since it's the month of January I have really been trying to get on the ball with my BYU-I application! The deadline is Feburary 1st!! And for the past month or month and a half everytime I think about that silly application I want to cry and just breakdown and give up! So I decided to do what I always do when I am stuck and I don't know what I should do...I called my best friend, Elaine. She is the greatest and she always knows how to help me! After I told her my problem she told me that I should just pray about it and she told me that I was a smart person and she was pretty sure that whatever I decided the Lord would be ok with! So After we talked for a little bit, the answer was clear to me! Well, first I will tell you my two options; first, it was to just apply to BYU-I and hope that I get in (no back-up plan) and second, attend the local community college for a semester or two and then transfer to BYU in Provo (this option would allow me to work and add to my $15 savings).Now going to BYU in Provo has always been my dream and after I got a 21 on my ACT I didn't think that was possible so my focus was shifted to BYU-I. But Elaine and I talked about it and I decided that I'm going to go to the local community college for a semester or two and then transfer to BYU. That makes me super excited. See that is where Elaine will be going to school and she and I have lived 1200 miles away from each other for the last 2 years and we are pretty much sisters. So this is absolutely amazing!
And here lately it's been so strange, I've always wanted to be an adult. But here lately I've been struggling. People don't tell you what to do anymore, it's your life, if you don't make decisions nobody will and you'll be stuck in the same spot.
This past Monday I bought my prom dress and it isn't my mom's favorite. But I love it, so I've had to come to terms with the fact that sometimes I'm going to love things that my mom isn't going to love as much as me! And my mom has been wigging out about my decision to go to the community college for a semester or two then go to BYU. She's afraid that the credits won't transfer. But I called today and they do! Which means I won't have to get my assosiates before I transfer!! I'm really excited to get on with all this stuff but it seems like I will be in high school forever because of this silly snow. We haven't even gone to school in January yet. And it looks like we might make 2 out of 14 days! I hope! This staying at home is killing me!
Do you guys have any suggestions on things I could do?? I'm snowed in and I live way out 20 minutes from town! I'm so bored of being inside!
