Follow Up Friday

Well, this is an exciting Follow Up Friday for me! I’ve got a lot to share about this past week:

-Best Thing That Happened: I heard back from two more schools that I applied to! Although one wasn’t so good and I got deferred, I got into my #1 school! WOO-HOO! What I find interesting is the fact that I got deferred from the one which has a 67.7% acceptance rate, while the one I got into has an acceptance rate of 50.5%. ummmm….What?? And both the schools are pretty comparable for the major I want to go into, so that’s kind of confusing…but whatever, I’m just happy that I got into my favorite school!

-Best Re-Realization­: God works in mysterious ways. Period. Everything happens according to His plan, but sometimes we tend to make plans for ourselves and forget that He has a plan for us that is way better than the plans we make could ever come up with. So when things don’t work out or go as we planned, we need to remember to place ourselves in His hands and let Him lead us to where we are supposed to be so that we can give Him the glory.

I re-realized this when I got my two college decisions today. The first one, the one I got deferred from, came out at 4pm. I was really bummed, but I realized that maybe it just wasn’t meant to be. Then three hours later at 7pm, I heard back from the second one, the one that I got into (aka my favorite). So as you can see, God always points us in the right direction when he’s ready to.

What’s On My Nails This Week: chipping Essie Sable Collar (same as from last week… I haven’t had time to remove it).

Community Service: This week my Orchestra went to perform at a nursing home and play Christmas songs. The residents seemed to really enjoy it! And it was the cutest thing: After we had finished performing and were about to leave, the residents of the nursing home prepared a Christmas song to sing to us. Adorable! It really put everyone into the Christmas spirit!

Blast From The Past: I watched Switching Goals, an old Mary-Kate and Ashley movie, with my little sister earlier this evening. Does anyone remember their movies??

Countdown to Winter Break: 1 more week!! (next week will be one loooooong week though….so many tests!!)

Countdown to Graduation: 5 months + 3 weeks….

Hope you all had a great day,
