Cobber-Day...

So, today i went to concordia to "compete" with a bunch of people for their presidential scholarship... It was an early morning, we left at about 5 this morning. When we got there at eight there was food (yes!) and juice, and then we had to sit through a little speech on Concordia and the wonderfulness (yes, i realize its not a word, but i liked it) of their academic community. After that, we broke off into groups of four or five and were escorted to a classroom on campus, where we would have our "discussion group." Basically, a group of three girls and me were given "prompting questions" and the two professors would sit and listen to us discuss, add little comments along the way, and evaluate how we interacted in a group environment. it sounds pretty horrible, but it actually went better than expected... i wa proud. kind of. too bad i borrowed these completely gorgeous flats of karlas and they made my feet hurt. after the campus tour the heels of my feet were bleeding through my socks. gross. so i didn't call brett or bill or jake or amy, because i was crabby and tired, and because a little part of me wanted to see the campus for myself and not immediately connect what i think of it to my wonderful friends up there. because, even though it would be awesome to go to college with them, i really need to take a step back and look at how the college would work for ME. so thats what i tried to do. who knows what ill think when i actually make my decision, but the hefty 40k that they gave me today kind of sways my opinion a little. sad, how money affects my mind..... :P
