Use Skill: Choose University

It's official. I'm attending UoP in the fall! Very ecstatic about this. Subsequently after first visiting the campus, I aspired to get into this school. Nevertheless, financially it was impractical. God works miracles, though. Don't forget. Through avenues that I never expected, He made it possible. To be honest, it has been some time since I was aware of God coming through in a large way. The jokester--a day before the deadline it looked like a definite 'no', by which I was crushed (irrationally). The day of, however, it suddenly became very possible. Teach me to have a little more faith, why doesn't He.

The campus aesthetically blends with who I am. I have loved just walking around the times I've visited, not to mention joy of the library. The students are so kind and full of leadership (rub off on me, please), and wonderfully nerdy. Yes, there is a Harry Potter club. Yes, they do play Quidditch on the lawn. From what I've read, class sizes are relatively small. Hopefully this will grow my confidence when it comes to class discussions. That has always been a problem for me. The professors in the English department have written me personally, and seem incredibly helpful and caring. Inconceivable, how blessed this makes me feel.

Excitement. So. That is what I wanted to tell you about. Starting August I will be describing episodes from this place more frequently, for sure. I'm taking things as they come, and enjoying every minute. This year has truly been great thus far.

Summer Plans

FINISHED.

Early Morning Thumbs Up!

...For now. This Friday I finished my last semester at my community college with a 3.95 GPA and two years on the Dean's List. Although it is boastful, it is likely the accomplishment I feel most proud of so far. It feels great to write down. I met so many awesome professors and friends during my time here. Somewhere along the way, I moved out of child mode and started to become who I am as an adult. MJC will always be a significant place in my memory. Community college allowed me to do a lot more than I would have been capable of otherwise. Moving on is exciting, still.

In the fall, I will be transferring to a four-year university as a Junior. (!) I've been accepted to a few schools so far, and I'm fairly sure I know which one I will be attending. More about that later though.

Congratulations to my graduating/transferring classmates at JC. We're advancing to awesomeness. :D Continue reading →
