I don't have internet at home anymore, so I'm stuck grimacing at the loudness of the keyboard and my bracelet jangling as I type in the local library. These computers, for whatever reason, block any attempt I may use to get on facebook, and won't let me look at my messages, gallery, notes, or subscribed deviations. The moral of the story is: If you've sent me a note, commented on one of my deviations, or expected me to comment on one of yours, I can't. I'm sorry.

But besides that, life is prety grand.

I got accepted to Bard College at Simon's Rock, the early college I applied to, and recieved $11,500 in merit-based scholarships to boot. I can still apply for need-based scholarships, and from them might be able to scrounge up a full ride. Wouldn't that be nice? I'm hoping for it!

With being accepted came a sense of purpose. The entire next year of my life isn't up in the air anymore. It's solid, it has definition, it's something to plan and dream for, to think about. While it's not for sure quite yet, it means several things.

If I go, I won't be running for a regional office in my youth organization. I won't be spending the next year of my life at the high school I toil at currently. I'll miss all the things that normal seniors get to do. But also: I'll be starting my life a year ahead of schedule. I will be soind something that very few students do. I will be making my dreams come true, making myself happy.

I'm happy right now, so very happy.
I just wish I could check my facebook.
