I'm not usually one to brag about my accomplishments, but the only positive thing I could ever say about myself is that I'm smart. Smarter than a lot of people, at least (not my friends... I have smart friends.) It's the only thing I like about myself, actually. I may not be beautiful, or skinny, but my brain is beautiful.
In second grade, we all got copies of the children's dictionary to take home. I was so thrilled. I took it home and kept it in my room, away from my destructive sister. I read the entire thing, and went back to tell my teacher, and she didn't believe me. No one does. I sat and read my older sister's college chemistry books several times. Those are some of my best memories.
But things are better now. Lots better. I have some great friends, and this time I think they really like me. It isn't for show. I know I don't deserve them, but I wouldn't give them up for anything. I don't leave the house a lot. I don't get asked to "hang out" hardly ever. But now I remember why I like it so much. I would wait on them hand and foot if it meant spending more time with them, laughing. (Which is what got me into trouble in fourth grade, but that was way different.)
The weird part is that they take care of me. I'm defiitely not used to that. And I'm very grateful, because I am terrible at taking care of myself.
Anyways, the real reason I'm posting this is that I've had some progress on the college front.
I have officially accepted admission to the Oregon Institute of Technology's Clinical Lab Science program. It's going to be three terms a year for six years, with about 16 credits a term, but I'm really excited. If you're interested, ask me for details. I've told my cat and my reflection about it like a million times. I'm a little dorky when I talk about it, but it makes me so truly happy. I'm working on housing applications now, but since I have a therapy cat, there are a lot of hoops to jump through.
Registration is in June, and I'm all signed up.
I also have a consultation for my senior pictures this monday. Lots of stuff happening.
Keep my sister in your prayers. Her shoulder is healing, but it's very slow, and she's still in a lot of pain.
Goodnight... And thanks.
