Today was good. This morning i took a self defense course, which turned out to be suprisingly inspiring and educational. About halfway through the course, we were doing scenarios where a guy in a whole bunch of big bulky padding attacks you and youre supposed to defend yourself, and I realized that it was the first time in my life that i remember actually hitting someone. Somehow i didnt think i was even capable of it, but i did. And the sky didnt fall. Its kinda hard to explain, but it was really a confidence boost. I think im going to start taking martial arts classes. And I want to make that program a part of the wellness curriculum. I honestly think that everyone should take a course like that, especially girls. There was so much stuff in it that could save your life.
Anyways, that was my life changing experience of the day. When i got home I found out that they accepted me into the H&H soloist program thingy. I wasnt expecting them to get back to me so quickly. I have to call and set things up for fall, and figure out what the hell a half scholarship is, because they dont say specifically in the letter. My mother is walking on air. Shes making me call all of my relatives and morgan and tell them about it. Im honestly not too excited yet. I think maybe i just havent absorbed the whole situation.
No plans for tonight. I think i might just stay in tonight and study and read and such. Call if you want to do anything.
