Maybe I didn't make myself clear.

Youth camp was last week. It went by so fast! It was awesome though. Like, probably one of the best camps I've ever been to. As far as what I got out of it anyway. The speaker was from an organization called First Priority which tries to emphasize the importance of churches in a community, especially youth groups, coming together to work towards a common goal of reaching their schools for Christ. That was very appropriate because one of the main ideas behind the camp was uniting churches in our community that have traditionally been somewhat prejudiced against each other. Anyhow, so it was really cool to see everybody group together at the end of the week with other kids from their schools to pray for the upcoming school year. Worship was awesome too. A guy named Chris Clayton led the music and I got a lot out of that. Mainly, it occured to me that the God that created the universe actually wants to know me. Even though that is a large part of my faith I think a lot of times we, or I at least, who grew up in church forget the magnitude of that statement.
One of the things I went into the week kind of wanting an answer about was college. My ever present problem haha. Unfortunately, now I am the least certain I have been about it in a while. I started thinking about it after I got home and it just feels like all the plans I had made are shaken. I kept thinking I wanted to go to UF, but I don't know anymore. It just doesn't feel right. I may be wrong, who knows. I still plan on applying and just seeing what happens. I'm thinking more about Emory. It intimidates me less because it's not a "party school" like UF is. However, it is also exponentially more expensive so it would all depend on what kind of financial aid package they offered me. And besides that, it's also dawned on me that depending on what I decide to major in I don't have to go to a school with a medical program for my bachelor's degree. Plenty of colleges have BS degrees in Biology or some other Pre-med type major so that I could go to a different college then go to UF or Emory or wherever for a master's or whatever I decide on. So who knows? The funny thing is, at this point when I am the least certain I have been in a long time, I have the greatest peace about it. At first I was all like, wait a minute. You must've misunderstood me. I said I wanted an answer about this, not for You to shake everything I thought I knew. But God's just given me a peace about it and I know that as long as I am in His Word and striving to do His will He's going to show me what I'm supposed to do.

Helloooo, Summer!!

I am alive!! Haha.. My sister informed me today that I need to blog..I've been slacking. I definitely have been. I just looked at my last post from before AP exams.. dang. So I guess I'll start there. I survived. Ha. I feel okay about both of my exams but who really knows. I think the multiple choice went much better than the essays...they drain you. Onto more pleasant things...school is out! And do you know what that means? Yes, you are correct. That means that we are ... SENIORS!!! Craziness. It still seems so surreal. My friend and I were talking today about how it still hasn't clicked and we were like well maybe it'll kick in when we put on the cap and gown for yearbook pictures this week..but then we decided we'll probably just feel like we're playing dress up haha. I don't know..we'll see. My appointment for my drape and cap & gown pictures are Thursday. Friday I have an appointment to cut my hair. And Saturday I am taking pictures with my photographer/sister and brother-in-law/employer haha. I am pretty siked about the end of this week. Just hoping that I like my hair when I cut it...lol.
Umm...I don't think I mentioned before that I will be doing the HOSA program at school next year. I'll be going to Shands 3 days per week and at the end of the year, if I pass the test, I will get my CNA license. I'll also get some college credit for a class or two. Hopefully working in the hospital will give me a better idea of what I want to do in the medical field. As my teacher puts it, it's like shopping in a candy store haha. Bless her heart. Ha.
Which leads me to my current college outlook. My top two choices right now are UF and Emory. I plan on visiting both of them at some point this summer. I got a packet in the mail a couple weeks ago from a little place called Harvard. It included a three page letter telling me why I should apply there and an application. WHAT?! SERIOUSLY?! Really. I didn't request that application. Btw, it wasn't like a few pages...it was a bloomin' BOOK!! Yeah. So that was exciting..haha.
What else is going on? I need a job. The search isn't going so well so if you hear of anything let me know lol. I went two weeks ago and filled out TEN applications and never got a call back haha.
I can't think of anything else so..
Oh, I think I'm about to put my blog on private, so let me know your email address so I can add you to my readers list if I like you. Lol jk...kind of. Ha.
