Well.... I am back from trip #1. I got to see 1 college but, because of timing, I did not take a tour. I was impressed by the area and feel of the campus. This trip was part fun and part "work"(AKA not Vacation).
I got to see my other family. My other "Mom" told my the same thing that both of my parents keep telling me. I love having people who I can consider my family. My life could be a soap opera. I wouldn't believe half of what happens in my life, if it wasn't happening to my family. Having people who can listen and not judge has been one of the biggest blessings of my life. Even if they never realize how much help they have given me in the last year.
My mom got to see one of her Friends(my other "mom"). It had been almost 8 years since they had seen each other. We live too far away to make regular visits.
:(
I cannot post about the "work" part of my trip. Just keep sending positive thoughts my way. The trip did not go the way we thought it was going to, which is okay, but, it means that eventually there will probably be a 2nd one.
Up next on the agenda?
I also am planning a 2nd and 3rd trip. The 2nd is to go explore 2 colleges. Both within a day's drive.(Henderson State University and Pittsburg State University(in KS)) Decisions are hard.
There are a few other schools that are in my top 10 list.
One got eliminated due to the cost of living:( It was my top school choice.:( I don't want to go into debt that much!!
The 3rd trip is the one I am excited about. I get to travel internationally!! I will post more about that later.
