Live from I'm supposed to get a hobby

Well Well....this month is Febuary for all you that did not know it. I was told last night by my mom that I should get a hobby so the I can find a way to release my stress. Well I have been looking and guess what...I still haven't found one. I want to write, but I don't have a story in mind because when I get stressed I get writer's block. Delimma number 1. I now have to write two more essays because of the We the People competition and I don't really want to, which in turn is making me have no time for a hobby because I am procrastinating. Delimma number 2. I don't even know if I'm spelling Delimma right. delimma number 3. So right now I don't have a hobby and I'm stressed over college stuff. So far this month I am going to Nebraska to visit the school and then that next weekend going to Pacific to get more scholarship money. I have been making a pro and cons list of each school and guess what...they have exactly the same number of each. As I was told by a very wise man (cough my brother cough), "I will always be wrong no matter what school I pick." Well thanks Dave that really helps me out now if I go to the wrong school I am blaming it all on you.
Nebraska has started what I think is a great idea. They have this thing like a myspace, but for admitted student to get to know other admitted students before school starts. I think this is awesome because I have already met some cool people that are going there. One plus on the Nebraska side. Then one of the people who I am talking to told me that she was told during her tour that only 10-15 people get into the Film and New Media Arts major out of an average of 40 people who apply every year. A check mark for Pacific, and here I am again at the tie. When she told me this the stress level once again rose to 1000% mark, which I know you can only have 100%, but too bad. So Febuary first is when they start to look at them, which was last Friday, and now I think I will not get in and will be condemed to Pacific. Now don't get me wrong Pacific's a great school, but I want to base my decision on what school is the best for me, not the only one that will let me in. So basically I am screwed. Maybe I should write a song like someone else...it would go like this, "I'm screwed YAY!!!," I can smell the Grammy's already. Well I'm beat and I am going to go look for a hobby, maybe I can become a psychic, maybe that would be fun, but then I would stress other people out by telling them they will die next week. I think my interim (Mr. Scott would be proud) hobby for tonight will be to go to sleep. I'll post another blog someday again....

Live from Forest Grove Oregon

Sitting here I have been thinking about how excited I am to leave high school and all the drama that comes with it. Coming out to Oregon and visiting this college has been an awesome experience. Today I had a tour and met with some of the professors for film production and also the softball coach. The Pacific media arts might be small right now but it is so good it is the best one in the Northwest. Today was just an amazing experience and I really like it out here. It isn't to hot and it doesn't snow all the time like in Montana. I am just in awe at how impressed I am with tis place. You truly don't know how great this place is until you visit. The academic part of it is also amazing. I know if I go here no matter what type of degree I come out with at the end this school seems like it will provide me with the first steps into my "adult" life. I was talking about how the media arts program was great and after having one of the professors show me around I just want to go home and work on my three minute synopsis of Hamlet that I have to do for English. I am inspired by so many different things out here.
Yesterday when my brother picked me up he gave me a tour of Portland and showed me all the different places. Walking around and getting on the one things I can't remember what they are called, but they are like trolley cars, I started to feel like writing and filming. There is something out here tat just is like a muse or something. I also love how it is a big city only 45 minutes form Forest Grove, which if you didn't know that is Portland but anyways I love big cities and you can easily walk around the whole place. You don't need a car or anything but everything is right at your fingertips. I can't stress how much I have started to love this area of Oregon.
This isn't my final decision yet, I am still going to go visit Nebraska and see how I like it there I just need to be able to do it on my own when I go on the tour. I think that is one of the great things I loved about this trip. I was able to go out on my own and talk to these people on my own I didn't have parents here I was able to just look at it by myself. I just hope I can decide soon which one I feel he greatest at.

Whoo Hoo

I'm trying out this new blogging thig so we will see how it goes. Tonight I found out I have been admitted to University of Nebraska in Lincoln. It felt like weights getting lifted off my shoulders becasue I know I'm not a total loser. Just Kidding. This school isn't the sure place I am going right now, but it is one of my top picks. It jsut felt awesome reading that I had been accepted, I thought every school was going to reject me, sothis was great news. I started crying which is really crazy because it usually isn't something you would cry over, but I was so happy. This has turned out to be a great night even after a crazy day of Hardee's haha.
