We leave for DC tomorrow morning! YAY! SO excited! We'll get here 2ish and then there's a hotel on campus that we're staying at so as soon as we get there I guess we'll go check in real fast and then go to the admissions office so I can turn all of my stuff in and then we're scheduled for a tour at 4:00pm! Yay! And then Sat and Sun I guess we'll just do whatever. Sat night we're going to have dinner with Maggie :D :D and then Sunday we're gna play and look around and etc with Maggie before 4:00 (haha) - Can't wait to see her :]
Gotta go do laundry and pack and all that jazz. Boo.

bleh
It's safe to say that 2009 has been, by far, the most challenging year thus far. And we're not even 2 months in yet. AHHH. And I haven't broken down since that one time! ... And that was before the rainfall came down.
I recently had to make a decision that was probably one of the HARDEST decisions I will EVER have to make in my entire life. What is it? You'll never know. But like someone told me, "there's not a right decision, just what is best" and I truly believe that my decision is and will be the best decision.
I think it's safe to say that I'm in over my head. But I'm strong, and I will get out okay. Speaking of "getting out", I cannot wait to get out of Lubbock.
Valentine's Day is over with, thank the Lord! My last Valentine's at the Candy Wrapper, thank the Lord! We did over our goal from last year's yay!
I'm tired. Peace outtt.

chika chika whoop whoop
Just thought I'd do a quick little update while I'm waiting on my car (getting an inspection and oil change whoooooo) and since Holly left a little comment "time to update" baha.
Lets see; I applied to TWU and just have to send in all my info (transcrips, etc) and then that'll be done. I'm still working on Gallaudet's; I've already done the application part, and got all my transcrips, audiogram and now just waiting on my two recommendations and then once I get all those then I'll write the essays and send it all in! :] I've been talking with some of the people from Gallaudet and so far I'm very impressed with their hospitality. I emailed them one night asking when the deadline was and I heard back first thing in the morning (really? what kind of a college emails back that fast?) and we sent a couple of emails back and forth in that day and she helped me with alot of my questions and then contacted others in the school; one guy about helping us plan our trip there, the CHAIR and PROFESSOR of the Department of Education emailed me and basically said that she's excited to meet me when we get there. That was really cool! (I thought) So, so far I'm really impressed :] And SUPER excited! I can't wait to go visit and actually get a feel of the school and etc just to make sure I want to go there. I think I will still be sure I want to after the visit, but never know. But the thing that I feel really good about is the fact that I told her what I wanted to do career-wise and she gave me ideas and she was like well theres this and this and contacted others in those departments to contact me so that when I get there I can meet them and talk to them and etc. Every time I go into the advisors office at Tech, they're like "well, we have this test you can take" or "you still have one more semester to decide" ...... Where the hell does that get me? Why don't you talk to me and find out what I want to do and work with me? A test is not going to determine what I want to do for the rest of my life, but thanks. So they're alot more personable and I really like that :]
I still have TWU in case all else fails :]
Austin told me to rent "fireproof" and I did.. and I gotta say, AMAZING movie. WATCH IT! Lots of good quotes :]
I kept meaning to update like 15 million times this week because I thought I had so much to say but now that I'm here, I'm having total brain farts.
I wish money grew on trees. Literally.
I really like my classes; I get to sign and be in the "deaf culture" and thats what I love and thats where my roots are and so its cool :]
I really do have the best friends :] Holly, Austin, Jen... (theres more, brain fart) Y'all are always there for me and let me vent all the freaking time hahaaa. Love y'all :]
My last day off was last Wed and I won't have one until after V-Day. Boo. I got a couple of giftcards for Christmas to Davidson-Taylor and I can get a massage, hair done, etc but I decided on a massage and facial maybe? and I'm totally saving it for after V-Day :] super excited about that.
And I really really really really really want to bust out the four-wheelers and just go riiiiiiide. Ahh.
Yeah.
Catch ya on the flip side ;]
