fishes

I'm in aquatic science, weird class I know. We got our fishes today for our aquarium after Shannon's and mine cccc classes. We only had about 20 minutes to be in petco and it was quite funny because we were arguing over what fish to get. In the end we got 11 and they are so cute. I'm so glad that I took this class.

Its weird how things work out; at the beginning of the year my whole schedule was out of whack and my counselor called me down and said they couldn't give me 7th or 4th off and that i had no 6th period and need to choose one.

She started running through the list of basic electives like office aid and other classes and then looked at me and said "aren't you wanting to major in biology or something".

I replied "yes, why?"

She then said well "how do you feel about taking aquatic science?"

I then said with a sigh "why not"

The class is one of the easiest classes I ever had, it looks good on a college application, and its so much fun. Not to mention I reconnected with Shannon; we were pretty good friends in 8th an 9th grade and had a class last year together but didn't hang out much. I became better friends with Austin to, hes so funny and always makes me smile.

I like my schedule this semester. My cccc (community college) classes are so much better than AP. I like the structure better, and my psychology professor is really funny, sarcastic, and nice, well most of the time. Economics well i don't really enjoy it but i understand it.

Speaking of cccc this morning I saw my best friend from middle school and high school. I haven't seen her in forever, well she came and saw me in Annie, but we haven't really hung out because she finish high school through correspondence last year and started at cccc this year. It was so funny because she looked at my tech shirt and jumped and was all like we can be roomies. She's going to tech next year for sure. I still undecided, but that's okay. She was so surprised to see me and all and asked what I was doing there. I explained the whole situation that i took to classes on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings, and went to the high school from 11 to 3:30. Which i have to admit is amazing I love the whole set up alot.

I'm look forward for tomorrow. I get to hang out with Alex for a little bit. He sent me a text that said "Are you as excited about Friday as I am? haha". Hes so cute, and he has the hugest crush on me. Which I must say is flattering and i have a crush on him to.

Well I'm off to do my pre-cal homework that I've put off all day, or i might wake up early tomorrow morning and do it then, who knows. Talking to Alex sounds more fun.

No More Stress

Out of the blue last night this guy, Alex, messaged me saying that he missed me and wanted to talk some time. It was the cutest message, he said I cast and aoara that makes me fun to be around. I met him in Annie rehearsals and haven't seen him in about 2 weeks because Annie is over. Hes dorky but cute all at the same time. He was really nervous but eventually asked if I would hang out at the park with him on Friday.

Today I flew to Lubbock and back to visit Texas Tech. The campus is pretty and I really like the school. I've been warming up to the idea of having a class bigger than 75 people. My dad all excited about the 4 schools I've narrowed down to. On the other hand my mom yet proud of all my hard work I've done for the past 4 years, she wants me to stay close to home and wants me to go to Tarleton State or duck school as she calls it. Tarleton has a big tradition with rubber ducks and is only about 2 hours from my house and is one of the 4 schools I'm trying to decide upon.

A lot of stress was relieved to day when my dad realized that if I stay instate I will get 8,780 dollars a year, and maybe an additional 5000 a year if I get my moms company's scholarship. And If i deiced to go to Delta State (Mississippi) I will get 3,500. I'm pretty much waiting to see if I got in to the honors program and the final amount each school offers me. My dad seems to think I won't have to pay a dime unless I go to tech and even then he thinks I get enough from them to only have to pay for my meal plan at most. I've keep the cost of college in mind when applying to schools. I thought just a couple days ago that my deciding factor was the finical aid but now I'm going to really have to make a choice because there is not much difference of price if anything at all between all 4 schools after scholarships.

I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. The majority of my stress is gone after today and I can finally just focus on school and enjoying the rest of my Senior year.
