Come What May and Love It

I have made it through finals! I took four finals today and did well on (well) most of them. I am very excited just to be done. My freshman year is officially over. All that is left to do is to pack everything up and move out! It is just crazy...I still can't believe that it is already over. A year ago, I was writing a speech for graduation. I was working at Arby's. I was just looking forward to the opportunity to leave and start over new. Now, I am done with my first year of college. Only three more years until I am a teacher...

Today is the last day of classes! I cannot believe that I have already made it this far. This morning I was reminded about where I was a year ago... About a year ago I found out that I did not get a scholarship through BYU. This devistated me! I had worked so hard all through high school and graduated as valedictorian just to not get a scholarship to my dream school. I found out about this during my English class and right after that class was seminary...it was the one and only time that I ditched seminary because I just had to go home and cry. At the time I didn't understand. If I did get a scholarship I would have been a lot more worried and concerned about school and grades. While I am still trying my hardest (and still getting good grades :) ) I would have been locked up in my room all the time. Every test would bring with it anxiety and a lot of stress. I would not have been able to hang out with my friends as much. I probably would not have taken the Divine Comedy positio...
