College Craziness

I have been doing nothing but thinking of college lately. Everywhere I turn, it follows me. Applications, scholarships, GPAs, letters of recommendation, visits, scholarship competitions. It's almost as though I have time for nothing else. I spend all of my time either doing college stuff, working on songs and lines for Godspell, or doing homework. It's a little bit outrageous.

I am currently working on a crazy presentation for a scholarship competition that I am attending next weekend. I have to make a 10-15 minute long presentation and then participate in a 15 minute long interview. Here's to hoping it goes well.

In addition to the presentation, I have to do a crap ton of work for history, practice everything for Godspell, and hopefully take at least three minutes to just breathe so that I don't get way to stressed out and end up institutionalized. I spend all of my time being way too stressed out.

Thankfully, I have great friends who help me stay calm and have fun. This weekend Hallie and I went to Fayetteville and watched the Razorbacks gymnastics meet against Nebraska. She was way more involved than I was of course, but it was really fun getting to watch all of the gymnasts. Also, we felt like legit grown-ups, because we made this trip completely solo. We drove by ourselves, got a hotel room by ourselves, and stayed alone overnight in a town four hours away from home. I felt seriously weird when I was booking our hotel room because I should NOT be old enough to do that by myself. It was crazy. But we had a lot of fun, and thankfully our hotel wasn't too sketchy. Our first completely solo road trip was a great success!

It was, indeed, a great trip and weekend. Better than the last. :)
