What a weekend

So, I met this girl a few months ago, but we never really saw or talked to eachother. Her mom goes to tae kwon do with me, so I saw her occasionally. So on friday night, we went to gattiland with a bunch of people from the club, and we end up hanging out that night; we drove around her neighborhood for about an hour and a half. The next day, I go over there and we hang out for 2 hours, flirting heavily and stuff like that... the next night I ask her out and she says YES. So now I have a girlfriend. She's a junior at ballard named Alina Corillo; she's so awesome, and now I have a prom date, so yeah a good day.So later that night she asked me if I smoked. I decided long before I wasn't going to lie about that anymore, so I told her I did. She got kind of upset, and a little later I left. And, on the way home, it finally hit me. So, in exactly one month, on April 22nd, I will be completely smoke free. That's right I'M QUITTING SMOKING!!! Therefore, any jokes (I would expect to anyway) will stop after that. So yeah what a weekend...

College Confusion

I received a latter form Morehead today. They want to give me a $2000 scholarship to attend their school SHITS YEAH! The only problem with that is, I haven't heard back from UT about scholarships. I received my acceptance letter to the music school, but the dealine for accepting scholarships for Morehead is on Friday, March 26, just under two weeks from now. SO, I'm very confused about what to do. I really want to go to UT, but if they don't send me a scholarship within the next 10 days or so, I can't go there. Their tuition, and room and board come up to about $18,000 per year, whereas Morehead is about half of that, at the most, so Im' sure you see my dilema. But, I'm still holding out for UT, it's just...time's running out.

Go Volunteers!

So yeah, I get a letter from UT yesterday, saying I've been accepted into the music school in music education and jazz SHITS YEAH! So, now I'm awaiting acceptance into the school itself, and hopefully a shitload of scholarship money. If everything works out as planned, this time next year I'll be at UT...

College

Well, I read some of my email today, and one of my new messages was from Professor Haar down at UT. He said that I was one of his top priorities for scholarship. I was like, HAELS YES! Now I just gotta send my transcripts down there and to my other college choices, UofL and Morehead. I ALSO got a call today from Jon Moore, professor of saxophone at UofL. He said I was near the top of HIS list for scholarship, which means a lot, but I really down't want to go there. Now, I'm just waiting for a call from Morehead. You know, today made me think a lot about college. It's really fucking close, closer than I imagined. That means leaving all of my dear friends I made in high school. I guess it's really starting to hit me that we graduate in just over 2 months. Wow that was fast. In, just over two months I'll have to leave a lot behind. All my friends I've made; Geoff, Evan, Rachel, Mr. Essig, and a lot of other people, but I would have to say that the are the best friends I've made since I have been at Manual and YPAS. (heh, that's another thing high school has taught me; who my real friends are.) It's taken a while to actually realize that I'm less than 3 months away from graduating, but I guess it took the stuff from UT and UofL to really put into perspective. Those are two possibilities of where I'll be going to school. UofL is at the bottom of my list, so that leaves Morehead and UT, 2 and 4 hours away from home, which is what I want. I want to have a fresh start, a clean slate, a chance to start over again. It's what I want, and yet, it will be one of the most difficult things I've ever had to do. It'll be kinda like senior night at marching band, only worse. If you don't know what that means, don't worry about it. Only marching band members would know...
