Going to College this Semester

My dad is in the states right now raising support as we missionaries must and it's weird having him gone. Hopefully though his trip won't take three or four months...Argh, it's so annoying to have him gone for that long, it will be really hard once I’m married to not see my husband for that long while he's raising support. Hopefully that won't happen though...although I don’t really see how it's avoidable.

Well Weber State University starts up next week. I'm not sure I’ll have the money to attend though and that's not cool. Hopefully within the next couple of days, my dad will be able to get a big grant from some donor that is specifically for personal use so that we have enough money to send me to college this sem. It must be so hard for my dad though cuz he has three kids in college and three more going to a private high school all of which he has to pay...That's a lot of money if you think about it. Definitely not one of the advantages for large families.

But if we don't get the money in time I’m starting to think that It will be fun to have such a long break. I actually will be able to do stuff that I want to do. Too bad I can't do pottery until second sem, this would have been the perfect time to spend learning how to make more stuff on the wheel. Gosh I would give a lot just to have my own studio with a wheel and nicely wedged clay to throw on the wheel...plus a kiln...ok that's a lot of money right there. So I guess i’ll have to say goodbye to my dream of spending my leisurely hours on the wheel and become at least a proficient potter....Goodbye Dream....
