Acceptance to Otterbein College

Yesterday Grams asked me to go get the mail, for I was the only one with a pair of decent shoes on. I gladly jumped up, braced myself for the cold weather, and ran out to get the mail. As I thumbed through the mail, on the way in, I noticed that there was something for me. I quickly glanced at the senders address. It was from Otterbein College. as I quickly dashed inside from the cold, I tried very gracefully to open my letter. That didn't work as well as I thought it would. Lol. I was too excited to really care, though. I skimmed down to the part that really mattered. (That would totally be the body of the letter.) As I read aloud, I couldn't help but get over joyed by the words that left my mouth.

"We are pleased to inform you that we have accepted your application to Otterbein College."

My heart jumped. A small moment of pure joy had entered my life. I held in my hand a letter of acceptance to a college that I greatly look forward to attending. That small moment was soon replaced by the small fear of the journey to come.

As much as I look forward to attending Otterbein, there's this small fear...of life...that continuously haunts me. I want so many things in life and yet, I have no clue where to start or how to survive in this new "foreign land". Yeah, I know I'll be fine. I know that things will work out. That I have never lost faith in. I guess it's just the adventure of life and the unknown.

Senioritis: Phase One

Alright I've been slacking, but doesn't my title explain it all? Okay maybe not all, but it does explain a lot. So, we all know that Seniors, at one point or another get what we call "Senioritis". I was fortunate and had no problems with this so called Senioritis, that is until just last week.

Okay, so the deal is we finished my last, first semester of school on the 23rd of January. That's when it all started. I decided to go see my counselor about my second semester schedule. As I waited for, hmm, 45 minutes to see her, I had no clue what was a head. I walked into her office and everything was going great. We figured out that i would have to switch my government class around and omit the music studio class. That was fine and dandy, until later that day when the news turned bad.

Mrs. Wolf later called me at home to let me know the status of our scheduling plans. I had NO option of switching government classes. It just wasn't going to happen. I had one, and only one option left, to take a class independently. I was willing to do anything to get into Chorale, as both I and Mr. Hager want me to be there. This was bad news. Mrs. Wolf first thought that I would be able to Chorale independently. Wrong! My last and only option would be independent study government.

This is where I ran into other problems. The "chain of command" as I call it wasn't doing their job right. Mrs. Wolf was taking too, long so Ms. Smith sent me to Mrs. Keenan. Well, she sent me back to Mrs. Wolf who finally did something with the problem, even if she was slow doing it. Now I all have to do is wait for my principal Mrs. Carpenter to give me the approval for independent study Govrnment.

So, I shall wait. And wait some more. And wait even more.....
