My Easter was a decent one. My brother seems to bring the place down though with his anti-social tactics of texting people on his cell and ignoring family he rarely sees. Everyone noticed even Hollie, my oldest cousin's daughter even tried to get him out of his corner, but it did not work. He drove himself because he did not want to be there so late, but he's not even home. He went to be with his friends who have no family and do not understand why others should be with theirs.
I have never interacted with Hollie so much before. I only see her about 3 times a year, but she was playing with everyone and asked me a few times to play with her or let her take my picture with her brand new Dora play camera. She gave us all candy if we smiled nice. I had fun with her, she wanted me to go fishing with her in the pool. Really we were getting out the bugs and leaves from the pool. She's cute and really animated.
I made a creamy faux chicken cassarole since everyone else was having cold-cuts. My dad told me earlier that I could just eat it without the meat, but there was no veggies other than tomatos and a tomato sanwhich is not something that sounds filling. My recipe was easy and only took about 25 minutes total including cooking. Also have few ingrediants so it was a breeze to make. I also made carrot cake cupcakes from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World.
On Thursday I think I got a letter from the finacal aid department at Oregon telling me how much aid they could give me for the next school year. In total it was be about $20,000 and about half of that is grants or work study. The rest is loans. So the out of pocket cost would be $10,000 for that year. It is more exspenive than ASU, but looks like ASU might not give me anything since they claim they still do not have things I sent almost a month ago. I have hear a lot of other people say they are horrible with stuff like that. That's not very promising. I told my mom that I would glady go to either Oregon or Puget Sound over ASU. Mostly because I am not too impressed with ASU and it seems like I will have more problems with them. She did not seem happy about that and I know that. So my application is under review by both Oregon and Puget Sound. I am hoping that this week both will have a decision for me. I am not sure how long they will need to make a choice. I am not sure if Oregon will take me, but I am pretty certain I would get into Puget Sound. I think they are the more exspensive school, but they give more aid and it's a smaller school.
I was trying to figure out if there is a possibility that I could double minor in history and music while majoring in biology. I know it sounds like a crazy idea, but I am still not sure what I want to do with myself. Currently both history and music seem a little more likely than biology, but who knows what will happen down the road. This is why I think if I major in one thing and minor in two things I will have a broad base of things and then by the time I earn my bachlors I can go into grad school for one of them.
My main problem is that I am not sure what I could really do in life. With music it seems like I wasted most of my chance of doing well in it, but a few articles in Strings magazine made that seem possible for me to do something. With history it's the writing and research that I am a little worried about. With biology I am not sure I can handle the higher math and science needed to make it. I know that I need to figure out what I could do will help me out, but I am not sure of what that is yet.
