New Mexico! 
This weekend, I'm in New Mexico! My sister and I are travelling companions for our friend who was originally going to drive down alone. We tagged along and toured the University of New Mexico. If I could describe it in one word, I would say "BIG". Wow is that campus huge! It didn't help that we kept getting lost and ended up walking all the way across campus to get to building that were close by... But it ended up being a fun experience!

This was my first official college visit, and I must say I'm pretty excited to move out and go to an official college after today! Although, I'll probably be here another 2 years. I can dream, right? Why such the hurry to move out? It's hard to have a life and move on when you're at home. Free college is great of course, and there is nothing wrong with being home for the next two years, but I guess I've always dreamed of finishing high school on time (again, I know free college credits trump all of that but still), taking Senior pictures, going to prom (with a dashing date, of course), and then going off to live at a 4 or 5 year college. All of the little things that homeschool Seniors never really get to experience. I'm willing to work to pay off loans and apply for scholarships and all that fun stuff. I just want to go the traditional route. I suppose in the long run it doesn't matter that much, right? Then I wonder why it matters so much to me right now...

Little college rant there. It wasn't my first and I daresay it won't be my last, so I shall keep praying and keep believing that God knows what he's doing and in the end, he knows what will bring me happiness. 

Live long and prosper and believe in God's plan, okay?

"Happiness can be found in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light."


Also! I will be posting pictures of New Mexico eventually, but for now, enjoy this picture from the Manitou Cliff Dwellings. :)
