So, some of you already know this but *braces*
FMU ACCEPTED ME!!!!!!!
@.@
I am finally back from my trip. It was long (even though it was short) and trying/stressful at times, but oh man was it ever worth it. I'll do a bit of a recap but I'm sure I'll miss a lot. I flew down, had a layover but wasn't too bad. I wasn't nearly as freaked out about the flights as I usually am which was a blessing. I screamed at the first palm tree I saw. I've never seen a palm tree in real life & I must have seemed like such a loser to the locals. (OH I'M SORRY, If you're just tuning in I went down to South Carolina.) Anyway there are palm trees EVERYWHERE, I felt like the whole state was a big tropical resort, with sweltering heat to match.
Everyone speaks slowly with a southern drawl. It was hard not to giggle at first but I can see myself picking it up once I've been there long enough. I'll be that one chick with a southern accent who doesn't pronounce her R's (that gal aint right.) I suppose I'd better get to the point before I get too long winded. I went on a tour of FMU the 2nd day I was there. The school is amazing. Parts of it are in thick wooded areas while others are beautifully manicured & covered with palm tree. The library is to die for, there are 2 pools, a gym, (It'll be like I'm on vacation!) greenhouses, tons & tons of science labs & art rooms/galleries. There's even a planetarium & an observatory! I was very impressed, but I didn't know if I was in or not yet. (Spoiler, I am)
The next day I had my interview with the admissions director who, get this, admitted me because I wrote so well! I had shit grades & never took SATs but as part of my admission paperwork I had submitted an essay about why I wanted to go back to school and what I had done with my life. She admitted me because they were impressed with my writing skills and because I have been out of high school so long, they felt it would make me more serious about college. Basically I proved that my shit grades were not the result of a lack of intelligence, but more in the 'giving a shit' department.
OHMANOHMANOHMAN
This is it then...I'm really doing this! I'm moving to South Carolina & getting a biology degree. I'm so nervous. I'm still super stressed out & crying like every night but now I have something positive to move towards.
I don't know when I'll be moving but most sign point to sooner rather than later. I have mountains of paperwork to do and some catch-up math classes to take first but ideally come this fall ill be down there.
*scared*
Thank you guys for your patience with me, ill be trying to catch up on notes/comments & such now but it may take me a while. But with all this planning to do I won't be re-opening for commission, sorry.
TL;DR
I'M HOME!! I'M GOING TO COLLEGE FOR REALLY REALS THIS TIME! YAY!!
also I just noticed I got to 1000 watchers while I was gone, THANKS GUYS!!! :D

& omg my handwriting is so terrible, im surprised you can read it at all!! lmao
You get any cool scholarships yet or such? :D
Good luck with Organic Chemistry and STATS.
*chuckles* I can imagine you speaking with a southern drawl and dropping the R's. I would have done the same.
It's not gonna be the same without ya. Will miss ya.
We sooo should do a going away party for you. *plots*
But thank you *hugs* It still hasn't really sunk in that in just a few months time I'll be living down there. It doesn't feel real. Especially since I've never lived outside of New England.
And you guys better not have a party, I would feel bad!!! I would love to see everyone again at least once before I go, but a party isn't necessary *hugs*
