Found my college
That's it, yesterday I was kinda upset, just a bit depressed. I found myself thinking about my late uncle, and then my grandparents, and how nice it'd be to see them. Then I remembered, there was this college down there, it's among the top in the South, and highly recommended by several IB league schools. Guess what, it's also near my Grandparents, and I have some friends going there next year too. It's called Tennessee Tech University, and offers my CIS degree, and affordable tuition. 11,000 a year. I sent an email to one of the Academic Counselors there, and I just registered for my SAT to take December 3rd (I hope I don't have school that day). Well, it's where I want to go. I'm SOOO glad I figured that out. It means I now have a concrete direction, and I'm going to be able to get away from home. No, it's not one of those "oh every teen just wants to be independent" things, I have a lot of reasons, and my parents are happy with this too. My grandparents want me to be able to go near them that way I have the option of staying with them whenever I want, I love them. Tennessee Tech will let me do that, be with some of my friends, and get my degree. I'm elated. In addition to that, I'm working with my mom on our affiliated marketing business, and it's working!! This is going to allow me to pay for college on my own even if I don't get the scholarships (and I know I'm going to land at least a few). I am just so happy right now lol, it's funny, but it's a lot better than how I was feeling yesterday. I'm just too much of a worry wart sometimes, and I know it, but now I don't have a reason to worry, everythings going well, and I'll be able to come back and see my family during breaks and whatnot. The only downside is my younger sister, she's really not liking the idea of me going anywhere, but there are times where that's just what you need. Oh, and get this, pending the results of my SAT, I'm already in, so I just have to do decent on the SATs. I know I will, even if I don't get it right December 3rd, I'll take it again at the next available date. They have ROTC and several music groups too, it's centrally located near several of the larger cities but located in a smaller town itself (think lakewood). So, I'll be able to play the bass and everything. I know it's not much of a deal to anyone else, but I'm excited, oh, and I'm definitely going to Lakewood Towne Center tomorrow, just not til around 5-7pm. I'm going to do a little bit of looking around, maybe buy a new book or something, but the fresh air will be nice. See ya later!
