Lumberjacks

So there's this little college up in Flagstaff. AKA NAU. I applied to go there. It actually was the only college I applied for. I was going to apply for ASU - I had everything filled out - but then I realized that the cost to do it was $50. Ridiculous. So I didn't.

Anyways, Monday night, while I was chilling on the couch, watching me some White Christmas, the phone rang. And, it ended up being NAU. This girl whose name was Christina proceeded to say, "Congratulations Beth. You have been accepted to go to NAU for the fall semester of 2011." Hallelujah! I wasn't exactly worried. It's just relieving to know that I'm going to college. (Relieving? I meant to say stressful.)

So, I texted my sister Amy, who is currently going to NAU, the news. She immediately called me back. Lo and behold, she told me that she talked to a friend of hers/older sister of a friend of mine about rooming together. So I already have a tentative apartment. I'm for sure going to NAU, with the plan of getting a BA in Psychology. (Who wants a BS? That just sounds awful. "Hey Mom! Guess what! I earned my BS!" Ha, I'm already queen of BS. 100% on pretty much all of the weekly writings that I've done, and I basically just put a load of hooey together!) AND my sister and brother in law are looking for possibilities for jobs for me. It's kind of awesome how all of this is falling in place for me. It's something I'm incredibly grateful for. It's one more load of stress off my back. Now all I need to worry about is money. Which, I guess is pretty much everything.

But, I'm a pretty happy camper. The only thing you will hear me complain about with this whole business is that I have to pay $325 to enroll. Welp, I guess there's finally a legit purpose to spend my well earned college fund. I have a feeling that most of it will be gone before I even start my first semester of college.

So, only one semester left of being a jack rabbit. By this time next year, I'll have almost one full semester down up at NAU. Go Lumberjacks!
