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...
