I'm going out to BYU in January, with all of my tuition paid for!!! And after my Pell Grant, my housing should be covered too!!!! Hooray for me!!!! :D I just got this about half an hour ago, and I'm still bursting with excitement! I'm so happy, and I just can't wait to go to school!!!! Hip Hip Hooray!!!

Growing Up Means Making Decisions...

So I had a thought today...and I don't know what to make of it.

There's a paper of important dates for the Seniors, and two of those dates that are within the next couple of weeks are the last day for schedule changes and the last day to submit a request to your counselor for early graduation...do you see where I'm going with this?

With the schedule I have right now, I would still be missing one English credit by the time the semester got over, but if we're still allowed to make changes within the next couple of weeks, I could change one of my classes for another English class...and graduate early, and go out to BYU in January. The application deadline for winter semester is October 1, so I would still have time to finish that too. I just don't know if it's the right thing to do, or if it's even what I want to do.

I think my next order of business is to write out some pros and cons and ask Dad for a father's blessing to help me make the decision that is best for me. I've definitely got everything figured out for once I get to BYU though, whether it's next semester or next fall. But anyway, I've got a lot of praying and a lot of thinking to do. I feel like I'm ready to be done with High School, but I don't know if I'm ready to leave home yet. If anyone has any feedback, by all means, it's welcome! Please, share your thoughts on the matter. :)
