An only child....

Yesterday morning at 5:27 my five fabulous siblings left me. I am now the only child at home for at least two weeks. It is so different without them and I miss them already. It is definitely quieter and I do get more things done but I still miss them. Andrew and Emily are going to Deerfoot and Tapawingo tomorrow for the entire summer. I won't see Andrew until sometime around August 18th when I finish being a CIT (counselor in training) at Tapawingo. I will see Emily on July 22 when I go to Tap. Kaela and Catherine I won't see until the beginning of July after I get back from Nigeria. Speaking of Nigeria...I am leaving in less than 2 weeks. 13 days to be exact. It doesn't seem real that I will be getting on a plane that soon. I am super excited though. 

This week hasn't been too exciting. We did watch the two Batman movies, the Vow, the Notebook, and Slum Dog Millionaire. Basically a movie a night....I had never seen the Batman movies so while we were at Walmart one night at 9:30 rummaging through the movie bin Andrew found the first Batman and decided to buy it. We watched the Vow when Emily C. slept over and because of the Vow we wanted to see the Notebook. Slum Dog Millionaire was a random movie Mom picked out to watch last night. It was good though. Actually it was very good. So, besides movie watching I have also been reading. Still trying to finish pride and prejudice. It's a good book I just haven't had too much time to just sit down and read. Now that summer has begun I only have 20 more pages in it. I have also been studying a little for the ACT next weekend, putting together a list of colleges I am considering going to, and signing up for CPCC in the fall. It's kind of crazy that school just ended yet I am having to think about school for next year already. Since I am going to Nigeria and Tapawingo I only have about 4 weeks of summer to get summer assignments done. 

College searching has been fun yet kind of stressful. Below are the colleges I am thinking about at the moment:

1.College of William and Mary
2.Elon University
3. Binghamton University
4. Taylor University
5. Union University
6. UNC Asheville
7.UNC Chapel Hill
8. Vanderbilt University
9. Western Carolina University

Who knows, this list might change completely but I am pretty sure it is my final list of schools. Now I just have to narrow it down to which ones to visit. If you have any comments or suggestions for colleges, please let me know! I need all the help I can get in making this important decision.
