So, I have applied to Emory Early Decision and YHC regular decision. Anyway, I went to YHC yesterday and got my acceptance letter that contained the details of a very nice looking financial aid package that doesn't even include other scholarships and stuff I will get. More surprisingly, I really loved the campus and the class I got to sit in on. PLUS, my friends are going to YHC and we would be able to stay in the same suite together with some other random people. But no. It's too late to defer my Early Decision Application to Regular Decision. I will know whether or not I'm accepted by February 1st. So, pray, or do whatever it is your religion does, that I get a defferal the good ol' fashion way, by not meeting their standards. I know, that's weird, but hey, I want to have FUN in college too. Even if I did end up deciding to go to Emory, I want to have that choice, not be locked into it. I claim that I was under duress to make a decision about the rest of my life; locking myself into a college plan seemed like a good way to get rid of that. BAH! Indecision, but not really. I think I know what I want to do now, even if I don't know the career I want to have FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. This is an awful lot to expect someone to decide. I mean, they want me to choose the path of my life for a portion of time greater than I've seen until this point. I could actually see myself living at Young Harris, though, and there they don't force you into something. Instead, they make sure you have a smattering of everything so you can decide from experience what you want to major in.
Well, that's the end of that rant for today, kids.
On a lighter note, I'm writing a fanfiction and it's getting tons of awesome reviews. Plus, that financial aid deal with YHC was pretty awesome and unbelievable when I first saw the numbers on the paper. I'm gonna go see about the music scholarship for YHC. Later.
P.S. Oh, and I updated just for you Kriegie. I demand you tell me what to do with the rest of my life. JK. Some advice would be great in this instance, though.

Political Controversy
I received an email from someone who will remain anonymous. Anyway, here is the email along with my response.

Who is Barack Obama?
Probable U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black MUSLIM from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya and
Ann Dunham, a white ATHEIST from Wichita, Kansas. Obama’s parents met at the University of Hawaii.
When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced. His father returned to Kenya. His mother then married Lolo Soetoro, a RADICAL Muslim from Indonesia.
When Obama was 6 years old, the family relocated to Indonesia. Obama attended a MUSLIM school in Jakarta. He also spent two years in a Catholic school. Obama
takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim. He is quick to point out that, 'He was once a Muslim, but that he also attended Catholic school.'
Obama's political handlers are attempting to make it appear that he is not a radical. Obama's introduction to Islam came via his father, and that this influence was
temporary at best. In reality, the senior Obama returnedto Kenya soon after the divorce, and never again had any direct influence over his son's education. Lolo Soetoro,
the second husband of Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, introduced his stepson to Islam. Obama was enrolled in a Wahabi school in Jakarta. Wahabism is the RADICAL
teaching that is followed by the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad> against the western world.
Since it is politically expedient to be a CHRISTIAN when seeking major public office in the United States, Barack Hussein Obama has joined the United Church of Christ in
an attempt to downplay his Muslim background. ALSO, keep in mind that when he was sworn into office he DID NOT use the Holy Bible, but instead the Koran.
Barack Hussein Obama will NOT recite the Pledge Allegiance of the Flag. Nor will he show any reverence for our flag. While others place their hands over their hearts,
Obama turns his back to the flag and slouches.
Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected presidential candidacy. The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside out - what better
way to start than at the highest level - through the President of the United States, one of their own!!!!
Please forward to everyone you know. Would you want this man leading our country?......
Here's my response...
Did you bother to check this? I did. Barack Obama's parent's separated when he was two. He saw his father only one time after that. When he moved to Indonesia with his mom and step dad he went to the Basuki school that was originally created for dutch noblemen. A person from the Clinton candidacy leaked this, calling it a 'radical muslim school.' Obama moved back to Hawaii to live with his grandparents in the fifth grade. Are you trying to tell me that a master plan was conceived before then (when he was betaween the ages of 6 and 10) in which Obama was to become the president of the United States and take over the world in the name of radical Islam? Also, even if he continued to be muslim, instead of having converted to Christianity as he did, I would refuse to be a part of such hatemongering. It is closed minded typecasting like that which creates the arbitrary hatred on both sides, leading to truly disturbing displays of hatred. Are we to become a nation against Muslims instead of for equality?
Also, here is a video of Barack Obama leading the Pledge of Allegiance.

I'm neither for nor against Mr. Obama. I am simply against being an uninformed follower. To try and get both sides of the story, I attempted to also find a film of Obama refusing to recite the pledge. I found no such thing. The closest I got was titled "Obama objects to pledge for religious reasons." However, this was misleading as it was a video of him standing attentively, without his hand over his heart, during the national anthem, not the pledge of allegiance.
