| ...I figured I'd give you a little update.
Today was my last GB class. I nearly cried.
I finally finished War and Peace Sunday (Yay!!). I think it took me around 9 months to read it, lol.
I have a piano recital coming up that I'm starting to freak out about. I don't feel ready for it at all.
Oh, and for those of you who don't know I'll be going to LaGrange College in the fall. I'm not very excited, but I don't know if I would be excited about going anywhere. I'll probably like it once I get there. Right now I'm planning to major in English.

Ahaha...
Lol, neither of these really fit me.

| Cora:I didn't see Mr. Hartman there. I looked at list of interviewers and he wasn't on there. I'm sure he was around somewhere though. ;) I was incredibly freaked out!
Katie Beth: Yep! I'm leaving Tuesday and I'll get back in Wednesday night.
Nicole: Thanks! I'll be sure to write about it and post pictures.
So yes, I'm leaving for Paris Tuesday. If anyone from my Great Books class knows how to record audio from class and could send it to me, that would be awesome. I hate that I'm missing the last portion on Dante. But at least it's because I'm doing something cool. :)
I did get a good scholarship from the Scholar's Weekend thing. It's enough for me to go there, but I would have to live off campus. Right now it's looks like I will be going to LaGrange because it's the most affordable. I'm not sure what I think about it. It some ways it's the more
comfortable school. I'm familiar with the campus and I know a pretty good
bit of people that go there. It seems like most of the seniors I know
are seriously considering going there. But I never thought I would end up going to LaGrange. I sort of wish I could go
somewhere on my own, where I wouldn't know anybody. But I don't know, I
might actually hate that. I guess whatever happens will be for the
best.
Well, that's all for now guys...

| Well, as Caitlin pointed out I guess it's time to follow up with an update.
Well, the worst of the college stuff is over. Saturday I had an scholarship thing at LaGrange
College. To compete for scholarships we had to write a paper, interview
twice and participate in two discussions. The paper we had to do was
horrible. The topic was "pretend someone hates you for something you can't
change, like your skin color, and write about how you would respond to this
situation". It kind of caught me off guard since I'm not used to writing
about racism and stuff like that. The whole gist of my argument just seemed
fluffy and weak. The group discussions were bad too. There were like 20
kids in each group and I only spoke twice, so I didn't feel like I really
got noticed. I guess writing under pressure and participating is large
discussions just aren't my thing. But, I did the best I could which is all
I can do. The interviews went the best. I feel pretty good about those. I
know one of the ladies that interviewed me so that was good. The last guy
that interviewed me was interesting. All the other interviewers would ask
me things from this paper they were given, but he would come up with off
the wall things like "how much do you plan to drink in college?" But then
he was like, oh never mind, I probably shouldn't ask you that. LOL. Anyway,
it will be interesting to see what kind of offer they give me.
I leave for Paris in two weeks and that's kind of freaking me out. I need to find clothes and stuff, practice French and decide what I want to see.
