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.
