Today was one of the most stressful days of my life. The Title pretty much sums it up. Last night I applied to Rockhurst University and today, I applied to William Jewell. Both schools don’t have anything specific on their websites for home school students. This worries me. So, I have emailed them, and I am waiting on a reply back from them about all of that; while also waiting on acceptance/rejection letters from Northwest Missouri State and the University of Missouri – Kansas City. I wrote an e-mail to UMKC today, about how my application is “incomplete”, so we will have to see what happens. About Northwest Missouri State: They called on Monday, and they got rude with my mom about me being home schooled my senior year, and they ACTUALLY called her STUPID for doing this “to me”. Apparently, since I am home schooled they won’t even look at my application unless I have a GED score of some number and/or an ACT Score of 24. Just so everyone knows: Before I left Lincoln Prep, I was at exactly the 50% mark in my class. I have a 3.75 GPA, and a 23 on my ACT. This is a lot better than a lot of people that get accepted there, straight out of high school. They aren’t exactly the most prestigious college in the Midwest. So, needless to say, IF I do get accepted there, I will really have to question if that is what I want to do. I was very stressed about this today, and the fact that I haven’t heard anything from UMKC upsets me a lot. It is coming up on a month since I sent everything in there. It’s really starting to freak me out. If I don’t get into UMKC, I honestly have no idea what I am going to do with myself. But it will all work out, I suppose.
I think the whole college essay thing, for applying to William Jewell is what really set me off. I wasn’t expecting it. And I wasn’t expecting having to write anything at all, for any colleges. So, I had nothing prepared. I started to have a major freak out, right then. It was not a good thing, and it only got worse from there. I talked myself into believing that I was never going to get accepted to UMKC, and that no college will accept me, and I broke down. This is the real part of Senior Year, right here. Eventually, I calmed myself down enough to get some work done.
So, back to school: Today was such an up and down day! My day started out pretty good, getting some U. S History done, finishing the Chapter and answering the review questions. When I got that finished I moved forward to British Literature. I had this Unit Test, that I swear was basically impossible, and mom had taken Katti to the doctor, so I was left to fend for myself, so, basically I ended up putting it aside for tomorrow. Then I worked on Consumer Math, and it was crazy hard. When am I ever going to use the Metric system!?!?! Never!!! It is really hard, and I am going to end up having to redo it tomorrow. About that time, mom and Katti got back, and we ate some McDonald’s for lunch; then got ready to go to Sign Language class. Which was really fun! Katti and I are definitely the bad kids in that class. We always make funny comments and get everyone else started. After that, I sat at my computer for the rest of the evening, even during dinner, trying to get my debate work done, trying to even pick a topic (I chose the Fair Tax!), and trying to get pictures off of my phone onto my computer, and then finally writing an essay for William Jewell and submitting it to my college people. While having a few minor freak outs, and mini naps (more like passing outs) along the way.
Finally, it is about eleven at night, and I am laying here trying to finish reading some American Government so I can be ready for tomorrow. I should probably get to that.
Krissy.
