Alright, I need to know what other people think about college. I know I talk about it a lot, but thats because its the number one decision I need to make right now.

These are my thoughts:The choices are Calvin, Grand Valley, and Delta (apparently). It used to be just the first two, but lately it seems like everyone that I talk to says "well, what about delta?"

Calvin: I was accepted.I like the atmosphere a lot and I like the idea of going to a Christian school. I thought it would help "stay strong" in my faith, but some people pointed out that I dont need a christian school to do this. It is also very expensive, but their biology department is great. I love Grand Rapids, and had thought I wanted to get away, but i dont know about this anymore.

Grand Valley: I was accepted here too. I really dont know much about the school at all, except that it is much cheaper that Calvin. I have still not visited there, but I will soon. Im pretty sure it is the lack of information that is holding me back from making a decision about Grand Valley.

Delta: People are trying to persuade me to go here and every time they talk about it, it seems like the logical choice. When I think about it on my own, I say "No, I do not want to go to Delta." So far, Pastor Mike, Liz, Mr. Blaine and my counselor have said something to me about it (Mr Blaine said something to our whole class though, not me specifically). I have not applied here though.

The thing is, I used to want to go into biology (as my major), but now I dont really know. I just cant seem to see myself doing that for the rest of my life. I dont know why, but I just cant. Since I am not positive about what I want to do, many people think I should go to Delta for at least the first year to give me more time to make decisions. I just dont know though...it kinda seems like I have worked too hard in high school, taking ap classes, making sure I get good grades and have a high GPA to "settle" for Delta. I know I'm probably being biased, which is why im asking for other opinions.

So what does everyone think? If it were your choice, what would you do and why?I'm so indecisive right now that I'm not really even leaning toward one more than the others.

love, katie

p.s. please pray for my mom...her surgery is on wednesday and we are all worried about it. thanks.

Will someone please tell my WHY?

Why do things have to happen at a difficult time? Things are going wrong and I try to be strong but its not working. Im so overwhelmed. Why? Why now? Oh man...

its january and its RAINING!?!?!?

Today was fun. I met Beth at 12 after school to celebrate that her exams were done. To celebrate, we went on a three mile run in the rain,but we had to make a pit stop at chris callahans house to use the bathroom. Kyle Stark was there and we said hi and then continued our run. When we were done (and soaked!) we went back to Beths to change our soaking wet clothes and then headed to the new Crumbs because I have never been there. We had broccoli and chedder soup and mochas and they were delicious! Props to Troy for that. Next we went to a FORCE thing and then I had to go babysitting. For the most part it was a good day. Sorry I had a breakdown though Beth :(
