COLLEGE

The stress is building! I had to sacrifice some nights out over the weekend to really focus on my college applications. Thank goodness I took the time to do this, because if i didn't I could be really behind!! Many students already have all of their college applications done, while I'm still deciding what schools to apply to! But I know that some students are even farther behind than I am, too.I sent in 3 applications this weekend - Hofstra, Muhlenberg, and Rider. I applied to all of them online, which is the common way to do things now. The next step was handing in transcript order forms to Guidance. The Guidance Office is so helpful and organized with all of these things... I'm really thankful for my counselor, Mrs. Jakubik, and the guidance secretary, Mrs. McKenna. I met with Mrs. Jakubik last week so that she could really get me going on handing in my applications. We talked about the schools I want to apply to, using the Common Application online, and the whole process. After my meeting, it made me really decide to sacrifice a night with my friends for getting ready for my future!

I still have more colleges to apply to, but the fact that 3 applications are on their way really relieves some of my anxiety. Each night from now on my mom and I will work on a little more, and I'll be sure to be done by the end of the month!

Aside from college, practices for Into the Woods have gone underway, with the first big rehearsal including the full cast on Saturday. I was there from 12-3, learning the music for opening number.

I've also been practicing forensics for the St. Joseph's Villiger Tournament in Philly. The team is going to leave after school on Friday and come home on Sunday. The competition takes place on Saturday. I'll tell you all about it in my next blog!

Hope you all have a great week =)
