So... nothing in my life is getting easier. College choices are getting harder. My parents and I are arguing constantly about it. The only thing that is a little easier is my schedule. School is very simple but that just makes it so that college is weighing on my mind even more. I'm seriously considering going to the University of Houston. That really makes my parents mad/upset because I am going so far away and thinking about going to live with my dad but oh well. I really don't want to attend college in NC and I never have. The University of Houston is cheaper and it is closer to all my aunts that live in Dallas. Not to mention that my two little sisters live in Houston too. I also am getting a lot of scholarship there that I would not get at NC State (where my parents want me to go). After this huge blow out fight today, my mom finally informed me that she and my dad were going to step out of my college decisions. They said to just tell them what I decide and that they were not going to put in any more imput about it. And after I tell them, they will let me know how much they can help. It was really weird. I feel like if they had told me this months ago, then it would have saved many fights, tears, and misunderstandings. Obviously though, no parents want to let their child pick whatever college they want without their help and without being close to home. But that is what I want. I want to make the decision by myself because I am going to be 18 and it is supposed to be my choice. However, even though they consented, I know they are dissapointed and don't think I am being wise and etc etc. But I feel that even if going to the University of Houston is the wrong decision, then I will deal with the consequences and transfer. I do not think it will be a big deal. I plan on transferring anyways unless I really like it there. Maybe Texas A&M... :)
Anyways, other than college, I am still working. And it is going better. But the "newness" of the job has worn off and most days I go in not looking forward to it anymore. I guess that is how it is with most part-time jobs that you didn't go to college for though.
Babysitting is going good too (I miss you Brooks' though... Little Miss Natalie is getting so big!!) I have also seriously considered staying in Asheville, getting an apartment, and just becoming a nanny. However, as much as I think I would love to do that, I know that I eventually would wish I had gone and had the "college experience."
Graduation is in exactly 4 months next week! That is the one good thing I know is not gonna change so I am really excited about that! It is May 30th :)

We miss you, too, Taylor...so much. The nice part about the college you choose? It's like the major you choose...it doesn't have to be permanent. I will tell you, though, not to necessarily judge if you've made the right decision by the first semester. It takes at least a year...sometimes more...to know if you're where you're supposed to be. My advice? Live on campus no matter where you go so you get involved from the beginning. That makes all the differnce in the world. When part of you is very sad to go home for the summer, you'll know you picked the right place. Good luck and we'll be thinking of you!! Again, have I mentioned ASU? You could be a student AND a nanny...the best of both worlds! Just kidding...sort of.
