General

Today has nothing to do with wedding stuff. Sorry guys. But, I am going to make a general update for those that do know me and like me. Heh.

So yesterday, Spencer and I made an appointment for me to go and look around at a school in Nashville. Not just any school...but an art school. That's right folks...ART school!

So, having the Clay name means I'm already going to be late (we ended up being 30 minutes because a. I really need to cut my hair-which I did myself- and b. it was on the other side of Nashville and we took the long way-could have went threw Hermitage and saved 15 minutes). Anyways, we get there around 7 (1900 hours), and meet up with Frank who is the recruiter. He's super awesome! Come to find out, he too went to CU and hated it! xD

We didn't leave the school until 9:48 (2148 hours). It's amazing. There are so many different things I could do and I totally can't wait to get started. I'm really going to have to look up places where I can get scholarships or grants, because I don't want to pay $24,000 a year for school. Even if it's awesome and they have great programs and wonderful studios...

So, as we were finished with the tour (which I ran into Lici Bolton while I was there and totally not surprised to see her) and we're walking back to the car, Spencer stops me. He turns me around and tells me that...if this is something that I really want to do, then he'll back me up and go into debt for me. I wanted to cry! Thank you for being so supportive in everything!

But because we have the wedding coming up (several of them to attend as well as our own), I won't be able to go to school until after May of next year. So that'll give me plenty of time to look up scholarship and things for grants. That is, if I'm able to make it in.

I told Frank, the recruiter, up front about why my GPA was so low, and told him that I graduated high school with a 2.74 (which is a B- ). He said that after I submit my application that I'll need to write an essay and explain everything that happened, and the reason for my really low GPA.

Not to mention, that when I'm done with school, I'll have a degree. Let me say that again... I'LL HAVE A DEGREE!!! Who knew...I'll have the degree in Art...who guessed that lovely twist for the Clay sisters? Haha! The one that drew all the time is going to be a Dental Assistant and the one that was college bound is going for the Art Program. Ah, the irony. :)

Anyways...Wish me luck, and if you have any suggestions as to where I might start looking for grants/scholarships, hit me up and let me know!
