I Did It!

Guess what blogging friends?! You know that college interview I had last week, you can read all about it on here  if you don't haha, well anyways. . . . I got in the Honors Program! I'm so excited! But I'm most excited about SCHOLARSHIPS! I got two letters in the mail today with scholarship offers in them, totaling $9500. I'm so excited! It's not good to put all your eggs in one basket but since I couldn't get a job and handle school at the same time I just hoped for scholarships. My dad was right, there's no way I would have been able to make that kind of money flipping burgers.

This is truly a blessing and I'm so grateful for it. I got an answer to my prayers about where I was supposed to go back in Septemberish but then everything that could go wrong seemed to go wrong. My forms didn't upload so I was classified as a non resident, I lost my acceptance letter with my student id, and now that id isn't working so I can't tell them I'm officially coming, because of this my housing isn't going through, and so on. I was starting to doubt if I'd actually gotten an answer or it was just where I wanted to go. It didn't help that EVERYONE else was trying to talk me out of it and go somewhere else (cough cough Utah)

 But there was this one day I was driving home from church with my dad in the car and talking to him and then I just, ahhh it's hard to describe, I got tinglies all over my body and a huge smile on my face and I knew that was where I was supposed to go. That's when I started getting scholarship offers from other colleges. But I knew there was a reason I was going to UCD and I just waited patiently. And now this scholarship that I couldn't have gotten at any of the other schools. I know there's other reasons I'm supposed to go to UCD. I can't wait to find them all out.

Not going to lie, I'm still a little terrified to live downtown. I just got the hang of my city. I'm sure it will be an adventure, which will all be blog worthy.

So there you go world. I'm going to be a UCD ________ (insert future mascot name here. They're working on it still ;)

Say Yes?

Well. Today I went dress shopping. And it was a really fun experience! I went a few weeks ago, and that wasn't as fun. I almost fainted because everything was so tight! And I looked like a little girl playing dress up. This time though, I felt sophisticated, it was a much better experience, and I may have found THE dress. I know it's one of these ones, but at the store I thought I was going to get one dress. But as I got home and looked through the pictures again, I think another one will work better and is really THE one. I'm going to sit on it though.  I thought it'd be fun to put the pictures up here and let you all see! Tell me which dress is your favorite! If there's two pictures together, it's the front and back.  How was dress shopping for you?  I like the lace and buttons on this dress     Love the top and flowyness of this dress. Really love the neck, top, and ruching on this dress. Not sure about the train though. This...

Book of Mormon Musical?

Well, it's here in Denver. Kind of hard not to notice it with all the signs. The Book of Mormon Musical. I have very mixed feeling about this. I know that in the grand scheme of the universe, this musical shouldn't bother me so much. But it really, really does. The Book of Mormon is something very near and dear to my heart. And I know that people make fun of the LDS church on an hourly basis. I've heard all the jokes. Not a big deal. Plus, I'm blonde. I can take a joke. But this musical really disturbs me. I listened to the songs when they were released, thinking oh, I'm gonna be one of those cool people who fights for this play. But then I really started listening to the words. And they bothered me. A lot. Saying that missionaries who are out in the field make up things on the spot, like having sex with frogs will get rid of aids, it bugged me. I don't even want to talk about some of the other songs. I heard them and felt, just not right. I was comforted by t...

I'm not going to waste time talking about why I have a blog or how this is my first new blog post, because I like to have faith in the human race and the fact that they can read and can interpret these things on there own. I mean, there aren't any posts under this one so obviously this is my first new post. And having a blog is not a mandatory thing to live so one could hypothetically conclude that this is for fun. That is hypothetically speaking of course. I just used 89 words explaining why I didn't need to explain something. I hope I counted that right. Anyways.  Three years ago today on a rainy day I remember being in a basement with a bunch of little people and adults for a scout thing. And I remember them talking about how a certain friend of mine was going to be a senior and how that's so crazy. I was just going to be a freshman at the time and thought I was the coolest thing since duct tape. (Sorry sliced bread, duct tape is waay cooler.) Now that friend is get...
