So I got a letter in the mail yesterday... from Dixie State College.... and it said.... that I got the Dean's Academic Scholarship!
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

((that is a happy sound, just in case you didn't know or haven't heard me make it))

So basically this is fantastic, because:
A) I WANT to go to Dixie, that's the ONLY place I've wanted to go. I mean yeah.. I guess BYU would've been cool to say "I went to BYU" but it just wasn't for me. Plus, they didn't have my major, so I just didn't apply there. Not worth it...
2)Me. Amy Alysse Dymock got a scholarship. ME! It's not like I've had TERRIBLE grades but I'm not that student that gets 4.0 every term.. I get maybe one or MAYBE two terms. But just the word scholarship is exciting. Imagine getting a letter saying you got one to your dream school :)

and D) I was in St. George over the weekend and it is absolutely GORGEOUS there right now! And the whole time I was there I just kept thinking "I want to live here. I want to live here. I want to go to school here. I want I want I want..." But school and housing and just college in general is expensive. But good news! Scholarship:)


So this is exciting and everything. But I'm also so scared! I don't want to grow up! I have to be an adult... I don't want to do that.

But I mean, just THINKING about college is so exciting for me. Moving out, making new friends, starting from scratch, living in a WARM place, living in a dorm, blah blah blah etc etc.

But then I remember how I DON'T want to grow up. Stay in high school. Live with my parents. Keep same friends. No one leaves on missions or moves out or anything. Just not grow up.

But then I remember... college boys:) and the warm sun in Dixie! And actually going to school of course! I mean that IS what I'm going there for! Anyway I feel this is necessary,

Dear Peter Pan,
I know you've heard a lot from me recently. You know the whole "I don't want to grow up. I'm going to go off to Neverland and live with you. Because I DO NOT want to grow up!" You know? Well I've been thinking and I have to. It's time to grow up...
Love, Amy
P.S. Don't worry, I'll tell my kids all about you.

Now this calls for
A toast!
Here's to growing up! *glasses clink together*  *sip*
