Big Steps Forward

I had the strangest week. Monday was a horrible day for me; I must've cried at school at least three times. Tuesday, however, was incredible... My team won our biggest field hockey game, putting us in a 3-way tie for first place in conference, and I scored! And then, of course, there was yesterday, which was incredibly eventful.

I applied to college last night. I'm applying to one school, early decision (so I'll have enough time to apply regular if I'm rejected) and I submitted my application yesterday. It's nice being "done", but it's also terrifying to think that if I don't get in, I'll have to almost instantly turn around and submit applications regular decision. Oh, and also yesterday, I received quite a surprising email. If you recall, I hosted a French student last year through the exchange program at my school. This year I am hosting another student, a boy this time, and they were scheduled to arrive tomorrow. Um, we found out yesterday that they're coming today. Not a big deal (just a one day difference), but not the best news in the world.

I love the quote above. It perfectly describes my week... Sometimes you just have to take the risk. I'm excited that I only applied to one school. Yes, I will be crushed if I don't get in, but I'll also feel incredible if I'm accepted and the application process ends for me.

Wish me luck with the Frenchie!
