We are over the halfway mark and things are shaking up, folks! It seems like it was just yesterday that we started to hear about the Genius Hour project for the very first time. Something I have noticed is the amount of progress I have made in the project. There are still things to be done though. For example, my spreadsheet is still available for updating (come to me if you want to see a certain college or university researched and put on the list)! Then, I still need to get my options narrowed down. I need to face the facts that as much as I envisioned myself going out-of-state for college, the top two factors are this right now - 1) Can I get in? 2) Can I afford it?
It can be quite nerve-racking, not knowing if you will get into a college or university that you have applied to. From the way I see it, sending in applications for schools and scholarships is like the universe leaving the choice to a complicated coin toss, with heads being acceptance and tails being rejection. The coin is tossed many times because the universe can never get it to land on the side it wants it to land on. Sometimes it wants it to land on heads because the person seems qualified but then again there are so many good applicants and they can’t accept them all so then they hope for tails. Sometimes the universe decides not to hope for a side so it can be neutral and not have to flip it again. Then they land on a side, decide it’s not the right side, causing the process to start all over again. That is to say, I do not at all think the administrative boards at colleges and universities leave things all down to coin tosses, I just wanted to use a metaphorical approach to show how I think the simple process of saying “Yes” or “No” can get very complicated very quickly. Something that I can focus on though, is that I can find a place that is right for me and affordable.
