Senior Year :D

[Alysser]

I am beyond excited to be graduating but I will enjoy this year. It's one of the best schedules I've had! I have the best lunch period with all my friends in it. I couldn't tell you if I am living in the moment or not. I do try to, but I can't bring myself not to think of the future and the experiences I will have.

Karen, yeah, I've picked about 5 so far. One has a five-year master program and one is the best and largest Marine Biology institution on the east coast in South Carolina.One is right by my current house, and the last 2 are about an hour away. I don't want to post exactly what schools they are JUST yet and for some personal reasons. :P I am also considering one other in NY. I am ALSO looking into Temple University, I'm saying this one because it's the least likely to happen but it has ALOT of majors to choose from if I want to switch and I do love the set-up of the campus.

Aw, Mom Don't worry, I won't let senioritis kick in until at least December. My parents are in denial that I am a senior, even my brother was sad I was considering a school far away.

LLK, LOL yeah it does feel so weird that this my last year! I remember starting high school so well and my first day. It's so weird, I can't believe it's my last year.

When do you need to get your applications in by? If you need any essay help, I could proofread stuff for you if you need it!

[Alysser]

I will definitely take up the offer, Karen! Thanks!

I just crossed one school off the list, and it was the one I really wanted.

Why'd you cross it off? Too expensive or unattainable?

Why'd you cross it off? Too expensive or unattainable?

Because I'm an idiot who didn't look at the required HS courses they want and they want 4 years of math. I only have 3 and there is nothing I can do to fix it now.

Oh well, could be it wasn't a good match after all. I liked the sound of the School of Visual Arts in NYC, but after I visited to take the scholarship test, I realized I would ONLY go there if I won the 4-year full ride scholarship. It was much grimier and more run down than I expected from the brochures they had sent, and we had to put a bench back together from pieces to have a place to sit to eat lunch ... (It turned out they offered only a partial scholarship, which would still have meant I'd have to pay ten times what I paid for Mass Art - which had a better rep anyway!)

[Alysser]

Yeah, I'm think maybe it wasn't meant to be. My mom said, even if I do go to a nearby school then I could move out if I wanted later on to an apartment or something. But the Program (more focus on the biology aspect) at the other school seems alot better, but I like the title of the other degree better..:/ I don't know what I want anymore right now.
