It has been four months since my last journal entry and little has changed. In November I applied to four universities for civil engineering. The four schools I applied to were Fresno State, Sacramento State, San Jose State, and Chico State. From those four universities I heard back from Chico, within two days, that I had been conditionally accepted for the fall semester of 2016. This made me feel really excited because when I filled out the applications I had a fear that none of them would want me. This fear stemmed from the fact that my brother was only accepted by one of the universities that he had applied for; he was in a boatload of AP classes and always got level fours. This made me think that maybe I wasn’t fit for a university I have never had an AP class and have only received about 4 level fours throughout all of high school. The acceptance to Chico, my top pick, brought me a great deal of peace of mind.
Then a month later I received another acceptance letter this time to Fresno State. I wasn’t as excited though. I only applied to Fresno because my mom made me. She wanted me to go to school somewhere close but like every teenager I want to get as far away from home as possible. At first my mom wasn’t onboard about me going to Chico. She had her mind set on me going to Fresno or San Jose with my brother. My aunt convinced her to let me go where I wanted to.
So far, senior year has been pretty stress free. My classes are all supper chill and pretty easy. I have weight training, ag, English and guitar. Next semester I shall only have English and ag because I have to drop weight training and guitar to accommodate my PC schedule. I have signed up for English and Trig in PC so I won have time for much. I passed intermediate algebra at PC which made me happy because I needed to take trig and if I didn’t pass algebra I wouldn’t be able to. Both my classes for the spring semester are freshman college level and if I pass them I might get exempt from some classes when I go in to college.
I know I didn’t want my senior year to go by fast but now I want it to fly by so I can be done with high school. Sometimes I wish I could see how things will turn out for me but since I can’t I have to living day by day.
