Basically, it's what I'm starting to look into, again. It looks like if I went to the Twin Cities I'd be able to take a cool Intro course and a Honor's seminar right away if I wanted to, but I'm still auditioning at Madison and Eau-Claire.
Ha. If I went to E-C I chill with some of my friends still. SAMKon, House Girl, and Craze. He's called Craze because I still don't know about that guy, but he's pretty cool. And very vocal! Yikes.
Madison would be an exceptional music school, but I feel pretty uneasy about it. I've visited the campus before, walked around, and it's alright. Lot's of nice people were about, lot's of smart people. I've never been to the music school, though, so it'll be an adventure when I do go.
And the Twin Cities. That place I've always kind of wanted to go to and still has a lot to offer me. The best honor's program among the three, and it would fit my microbiology major really nice. H is there, and that would be awesome, we'd be able to go out to coffee shops all the time. Cookie and Johnny Quest are there, too. Plus, it's the Twin Cities! One the best metropolitan areas for aspiring young graduates. Lot's to consider.
Of course, Madison is awesome as far as stem cell research goes. I mean, stem cells were found there, it has one of the leading centers there.... but, I think I'd want to go to Minnesota in case I don't want to specialize in that and still be able to work with microbes and chemicals to find solutions to problems. That sounds way more fun than any math problem I've done.
On the Duckie side of things--we've broken up. It's been hard, but I'm working my way through it, and spending time with my friends is helping too. I have a little more time on my hands now, which is nice to get things done. Like housing and tuition deposits, essays, and this research paper. Let alone creative writing. I've already written three 10+ stories about crashing cars, going to hell, and punching guys in the face through a burning building in the past three weeks. Tons of poems, and countless journals. I love this independent study. And calculus? It's so frustrating at times, but I sort of enjoy the challenge of having to do it myself, having to teach myself a course that most people drop out of.
Anyways, I'm mostly unsure about the college thing yet. My priority list probably goes...
1-Twin Cities
2-Eau Claire
3-Madison
Yesterday I was leaning towards EC, today TC. Whatever. I have my last swim meet tomorrow, :(, and a story to finish and some research to do.

Frustration....
I got rejected by the School of Music at the Twin Cities today.
I read the letter, and that feeling came where the breath just sort of leaves your lungs. Damn it, is what I said.
Of course I'm disappointing, but I know I'll move past it soon enough. Really, the only reason I'm blogging about this now is to get it out of my system so I can finish my Awakening journal.
My reaction in the past half hour has been to consider my alternatives. There's still possibilities of auditioning at both Madison and Eau-Claire, but suddenly I just feel like giving up on all of that. I considering being able to audition a second time at the Twin Cities, but I really doubt I would do that.
I know there is more for my potential than just music education. Clearly. I have to push being humble aside for just a few moments. I received a better grade in AP English than anyone else, and it was better than my German grade. What the hell. Plus, I'm in second semester college calculus in high school, teaching myself.
Yes, there is more for me than music education.
Aside from English and Math (I'm getting sick of math real quick), I've always sort of had a thing for biology and wanting to go into stem cell research. I think being in the honor's program, I could get into something like that with more benefits than other people could. I wouldn't be as well off, seeing as I didn't take Chemistry AP my senior year and all those other elective Bio classes, but I'm still sure if I went into that I would do well...
Well, I would appreciate your opinions. I'm out all fierce like...
