Living in Cedar City Update

I work a lot now! I feel busy almost all the time. I just looked up both Dixie State College, and Southern Utah University. I'm working on deciding which school I would like to go to. I think that at the moment, Dixie State offers more of the classes I'm interested in at a lower price. I'm curious about the teachers and if I will learn well under which teachers. I'm just not sure how to find out.

My job is good because it is transferable. I'm a hostess at Applebee's right now in Cedar City. There's also an Applebee's in St. George. The lucky thing is that one of my managers, Gary, works at both. I think that if I decide to go to St. George, I can keep my job, only in a different location and with different people.

I really want to go to school. I know what I want to do and I'm ready to learn. I don't want to wait too long. I also think I need a car. that way I won't be bothering Kari so much by constantly having her car at work.

This is really general at the moment, but I'll work on being more frequent with my posts.

I'm working on a little writing. It's mostly random scenes with all the same characters. Who knows, maybe it will turn itself into a book eventually.

Old enough for college?

Today my little brother Brian finds out that both Matthew and I are applying for colleges. Brian comes and stands right in front of me. He looks at me for a moment and then says, "Are you really old enough for college?"
"Yes, Brian, I'm graduating from high school this year." I said all mater-of -factly.
"Really? You look too young to be that old!" he says to me, then to my mother he says: "mom, is Emily really old enough to go to college?"

**Note** (my mom and I went to parent teacher conferences today... and they were interesting)

My mom's answer to this was "Physically she is."
So being the nice, sweet, not so confident TEENAGER that I am I say, "Physically?"
Then mom has a moment of realization of how badly that could be taken, and in trying to fix it says "I didn't realize how bad that sounded until I said it. I only was thinking about how I would handle it."
And I being the teenager that came out of a bad parent teacher conference, thought: 'UhHuh...sure.'

College

I just applied online to EAC (Eastern Arizona College). There will probably be more steps later. But it was so easy that I'm kicking myself for not doing it earlier. I hope I get accepted for the spring term. I also hope that I know soon enough to put this school on my scholarship application. I am goingto try to get the Tom Brumbaugh Scholarship. It's a music scholarship from the band department worth $1,000.oo. It is a band scholarship, but because I have a broken hand Ms. Hamblin said I can sing for it. I think that my only hope for winning this scholarship, is if I'm the only one that applies for it. The reason I think this is because I don't fill out practice records, or turn them in. oops (::( I also haven't been taking any private lessons for any of my instruments except piano, and that one isn't very impressive. I hope this all works out in the end...
