Applications, lack of sleep, too much homework, too much thinking, a break up, a revelation, hoping, waiting for winter, a trip to Portland (the beginning of a city-love affair), deadlines, a road trip, and emptiness.
My mom and I spent two days driving in/around the Portland area to investigate some potential college choices...and I fell in love with Lewis & Clark College. As well as the actual city of Portland; I love the culture and originality there, it's not common that one comes across an oasis of a city surrounded by forrests and so, so many trees.
I can't wait to start my life there next year.
My only worry is that I won't be accepted...I'm not sure what I'll do in that case. Last year I worked so hard to make up for my academic hiccup of the previous year; it would be so disappointing for that hard work to have been wasted. When I finally figure out what I want to do and where I want to be...there's a sizable chance that I won't be able to do it. All I can do at this point is think positive -- I've already sent in my application and everything. I guess I'll just hold my breath until March, until the day of the final verdict.
In less than a year, no one here will be able to control the direction my life goes in.
"I learned this, at least, by my experiment; that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams,and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours." - hdt
