So many thoughts.

Tomorrow is the first day of what SHOULD be my last semester in college. Part of me is really happy it isn't, because that would mean that this new life I have found and love so much would be over a lot sooner than it will be. But that is the only reason I am glad I am sticking around. Not gonna lie... it went through my head a lot lately to just drop the ed major and get out of here in May with everyone else that I started with. Obviously I am keeping it, mainly because I know that it could be the extra push for future jobs (Churches would probably be a lot more willing to hire someone who wants to do youth music if they have a music ed degree). Is that bad? Well, either way, my last semester of college classes starts tomorrow (student teaching in the Fall). It is kinda scary... (not to mention it means I have to be a college student again and I have loved not being one for the last month).

On another note, I am almost done with applications. I have to get a few recommendation letters out to people, type up an essay, and put one app in the mail. It is all so real now... I love it. I am working on scheduling a road trip over spring break to Union and Pittsburgh to check them out in person. I will schedule Columbia after I get through my recital. That is assuming I don't go sooner to do an interview (I am hoping I can figure something out so I don't have to go there for the interview). So I guess I will keep y'all posted about what is going on... I know the Pitts application is closed out so I should hear from them within the next month. Assuming things go as scheduled I should hear from Union not too long after that.

Now... time to get ready for this week.
