don't lose your faith, don't run away; baby it's only life.

Wow, it's already the 3rd week of January. This year is already flying by.

I finished two of my American Government assignments today, I'm pretty proud of myself. I'm just upset that I had to miss church. I hate it. It's like no matter what I plan, it never turns out my way. I have so many things going on. ugh.
Plus, I didn't realize how difficult Anatomy & Physiology. I mean, I knew it was going to be tough, but there are some parts where I am completely lost. and of course Psychology's workload doesn't shrink at all. only grows.

FSU said I have to wait until March 18 for an admission decision. Which is so frustrating. I have to call them and figure out why. I'm thinking about just going ahead and giving Stetson my Intent to Enroll. The more I wait, the less available dorm rooms are getting. And I could go ahead and start planning next year, because I will actually know what part of Florida I will be in. I could just transfer to FSU a couple years from now. I just really want to experience being a part of the Marching Chiefs. Jacksonville University offered me a $52,000 scholarship. Which is incredible, only I don't want to go there. ha. Being in Jacksonville isn't something that appeals to me. Maybe because I hate big cities (of course I'll either be in DeLand or Tallahassee) or maybe because I've been around it my whole life. I don't know....

Competition was okay yesterday. We got penalized BIG TIME for being over time. If we would have shortened our song, we would have been like 10 places higher. There were 27 guards so it was really intimidating. Plus, most of the guards were HUGE and we are only 6 girls strong, and we don't have our show complete. Most guards in the past haven't, but this year was really weird and different. When I was watching the B class guards, I thought it was AAA. lol

The girls all had fun and that's what counts. We have a lot of work to do before our February 7 competition, but I know we can do it. It's really exciting that all of our girls get along this year and we can actually be good friends. It's such a change; a refreshing, wonderful change.

Well I'm off to bed, only to wake up to our new president.... Obamanation. HA!
I guess all we can do is pray and keep the faith that God will bring us through.
