I don't think I mentioned it before, but I applied to this two year program which is a school "system" called United World Collages. I was sort of split about my thoughts of going, on the one hand it seemed like a really cool opportunity, on the other hand it would not support almost any of my values, so you can see my confusion. Last night I got the email saying although they enjoyed reading my application I was not one of the candidates picked. At first I felt super disappointed. Out of so many things in my life I have applied to this is the first one I have not been accepted to. I am sure there will be more in my life, but this first hurt. Then I realized the irony of the situation just that afternoon my mother, guidance counsellor and I had had a meeting to discuss next year in case I don't get accepted.
In fact I almost liked the option we came up with more. It turns out with a bit of tweaking to my schedule I will have enough classes and credits in to graduate next year! I won't be able to graduate with honors, but graduating a year early is still super exciting. Then I could do any number of things my senior year, although the one up most on my mind is I would like to spend a year in Ireland. I have always wanted to go there, an living with a family and getting to see the country from their point of view would be amazing. Especially if I could somehow manage to factor horses into the bargain. So that would be fun! (If any of you readers knows anyone who lives in Ireland please tell me, I would love a contact!)
