As most people know by now, I am going to KSU next year. I am planning on majoring in Accounting and minoring in Spanish. A little while back I applied for the honors program, but I thought my chances at acceptance were pretty slim for many reasons. The minimum required ACT score is 28, which is exactly what I got. I did clearly pass the required GPA, but I had to include some kind of supplement with my application. I did not have time to write an essay or anything, so I just sent an old poem. Also, acceptance into the program is on a space-available basis and I applied kind of late, so I wasn't even sure if there would be room.
Then, when I got home yesterday, I found an envelope on the table that was labeled KSU Honors Program and I immediately thought Here's my rejection letter. However, when I opened it, the first word I picked out was "Congratulations!" I couldn't believe it! I got in! I'm really excited.
That's about it. I'm also really excited to eat Chinese tonight! AND Marissa found my digital camera, which has been missing for months! Ok bye.

Senior Spring Break
This could possibly end up breaking the world record for the longest blog post EVER because I have so much to say!
About five hours ago I got home from the best trip of my entire life! It was unbelieveable! I have NEVER had so much fun before and I am so upset that it all ended so fast!
Last Wednesday, I went to school, but it wasn't like every other day. After lunch, the Chambers singers and Chorale seniors, 37 in total, and 10 Chaperones went to the airport and borded a plane to Orlando. I had no idea just how much fun I would have for the next four days!
Thursday was our first day in Disney World. For half of the day we were allowed to go to any park we wanted, but at 4:00 Chambers performed in the park. Me and a few of my best friends decidded to go to Magic Kingdom, which by the way, is the most amazing place on Earth. I want to live there. Seriously. Everything was amazing! Everywhere I turned, I saw somethng exciting that made my heart glow! The attention to detail was unbelievable and made everything so interesting. My favorite rides in that park were Space Mountain and Thunder Mountain, both really exciting roller coasters. Around 1:00 though we had to leave and get ready for our performance. We performed at the Galaxy Theater in Magic Kingdom. It was a really awesome experience and we did really well. That night, the entire group of 47 met in Magic Kindom to watch the fireworks at Cinderella's Castle and the Spectromagic Parade directly after. Both were absolutely amazing!
On Friday, My group of friends and I went to Hollywood Studios, where I experienced the scariest moment of my entire life. This terrifying, but exciting and exhilerating moment was caused by a little ride called...The Tower of Terror. That was the scariest thing I have ever done, but I love it. I went on it twice and after the first time, I shook for about fifteen minutes! But, it was a lot of fun! My favorite ride of all, however, was in this park and it's called Rockin' Roller Coaster. It's completely dark except for neon signs and goes to the music of Aerosmith. At the start, it goes from 0 to 60 in 2 seconds and it twists and turns, corscrews and goes upside down! It was amazing!
Friday night, everyone was supposed to meet at Epcot to watch the fireworks show there, but it was raining so we didn't have to. Two of my friends and I decided to go anyway. We had soooo much fun running and dancing in the rain, going through all of the countries, and riding rides! And the fireworks show was oustanding! I'm not gonna lie, we all had tears in our eyes by the end!
Saturday, we returned to Epcot with the rest of our group of friends and had some more fun. We didn't stay long though. For half of the day we were at the hotel swimming and tanning by the pool! All of us got a little burnt that day...well a lot. That night, everyone met at Hollywood Studios to watch the show Fantasmic, which was fantastic! All of the big, nightly shows at Disney World are breathtaking!
Our last day was Sunday, and it was by far the best! One of the best days of my life! In the morning all 47 people went to Animal Kingdom to do the Safari first thing. After that we split off. My group went on a new roller coaster called Expedition Everest twice in a row! It was soooo fun! It goes in the light and the pitch dark, forwards and backwards, in the hot and cold! Amazing! (and there's a Yeti) After that, we went and saw Finding Nemo the Musical. It was a really exciting show and very interesting because it was a musical, so it was different from the movie in that sense. I liked it a lot. Following the show, a bunch of us traveled to Downtown Disney to eat lunch and do some shopping. Since it was our last day,we decided to splurge and have a nice, sit-down meal, so we went to Planet Hollywood. It was really cool and very tasty...but also pricey. That night, Magic Kingdom was open until 3 am, but we were only allowed to stay until 1. Last night was probably the best night of my life!! We were so wound up and it was non-stop laughing all night!! I was practically in tears through parts of it! I had so much fun and it was the absolute most perfect way to end the most amazing trip in history!!!
