Since my last journal entry, I've filled out CSU applications and applied for EOP.I've recently heard back from CSU Stanislaus, my first choice, and have been admitted.It's exciting being able to leave Lindsay and drive towards my new future.I no longer fear making new experiences and growing up, because I know this is all for the better.Before the end of the semester I need to focus strictly on my grades.So far in my classes I am not falling behind in any of them.I want to be ahead in them actually, so I can have time to work on level fours earlier and not stress about them later.
What I am enjoying the most about my senior year is sports.Even though Cross Country didnt make it to state this year, we succeeded in turning a team into a family.I have never been a part of a team that was so close as ours. Everyone was so welcoming and supportive no matter our times in the meets.We were greater as a pact than as individuals and I will never forget my Cross Country family.Running is one of my passions in case you have not already noticed, and I am extremely greatful that I was able to be a part of this team.
What I am most looking forward to by the end of this semester is to know that all this stress and hardwork has paid off.My cousin and I have been looking into on-campus apartment style dorms and the costs.We have also discussed who we would and wouldn't want to dorm with.Our next step is to investigate about the on campus jobs and are currently working on receiving our provisional driver's license.As for the support for my post graduate preparation many of my learning facilitators have supported me in the process, reassuring me that I am prepared and that I'll do "fine".However, I feel more pressured from my family than supported. They always expect me to receive nothing less than the best grades and remind me that I need those grades to earn scholarships because they won't be able to financially support me. This is their strange way of motivating me.Although that's not the reason why I am so stressed about my grades. I make my grades a priority because I want them to be proud of me.
