happenings

holy cow. it appears i haven't updated this thing in four months and one day exactly. since my last post, i've graduated. worked a lot. quit my job. read. played the piano. spent tons of time with family and friends. cleaned my house. etc etc. nothing too horribly exciting. i do, however, have some new news on the kerry college front.

i will be going to paul smith's college of the adirondacks this fall instead of UT. it's a small, private, liberal arts type of school located in the middle of the adirondack state park. it's roughly an 11 hour drive from toledo, and about a half hour away from lake placid in NY. why paul smith's, you ask? for their RATE program (recreation, adventure travel, and ecotourism).





a very brief description offered by psc themselves..

and if you're wondering what in the world ecotourism is..

basically, this has all happened very fast, and i am really excited. i applied about 3 weeks ago, and i was informed just this past monday that not only have i been accepted, but i am receiving the presidential's scholarship ($12,000 a year)!! we're going up to visit the campus for their open house this weekend, and i can't wait. this is by far one of the biggest decisions i've had to make in all of my 18 years, but i really feel that i'm making the right one.

i don't have much else to say at this point. but i am very happy. i plan on taking a lot of pictures this weekend to share with you all, so stay tuned. i guess. ha.
