As a senior I have a lot to think about in the next few months. First of all i have to pick a school. Second I need to apply for a ton of scholarships. Then i need to fill out housing forms and roommate surveys and so on, and so on. I would love to say that i have all these things done, that i could mark checks next to all of the above. Sadly i can't check yes to any of these. While i have applied to 5 schools and been accepted at all of them, I can't say I've chosen one. I have however Narrowed i down to two. Clarke college in Dubuque, Iowa and St. Benedicts in St. Joesph, Minnesota. As far as scholarships go i have about two started, not exactly what i call "a ton". Luckily I have my ACT done and am happy with my 30, so i can forget about that. As far as everything else goes, I haven't even started on that yet. Looks like I'm going to have a very, very busy rest of the year.
In college I plan to run both cross country and track. That will most likely keep me really busy, but what else is new. As if that's not enough I plan to double major in English and Theater. As a theater major the plays will also add to my hectic life. If you add in all of my classes, possibly a social life, and heaven forbid sleep, this next year will be in a word, fun. I plan to be a big fan of naps and an even bigger fan of caffeine. I'm both excited and frightened by this new venture, but one thing I do know is that College is going to be a great adventure and i can wait to start.
As for the rest of this year I plan on being extremely busy. Being the lead in Alice in wonderland, plus track, and not to mention school and graduation I won't have much free time. I can't wait until summer when I'll have more time to hangout with friends, although with all of this snow all of my younger friends will still be in school until late June. I also plan to work a ton to make money for college. I also want to council at my church camp for a week or two. My mom is also planning a trip to Ireland, so that will be another thing to look forward to this summer. Cute Irish Boys, pretty green country side, and driving on the wrong side of the road. I can't wait! As busy as I'll be the rest of the year I think it will be one of the best years of my life.
Carrie, looks like you have an awesome future ahead of you. Wish you best of luck as you are deciding on a college girl :)

I'm really excited that you are planning to do XC and track in college! And majoring in English and theater! I think you'll do a great job! Even though you'll be busy, you'll love it. You wouldn't know what to do if you weren't busy.
