Hi everyone!
Happy Saturday, and welcome to SMA's official second semester! It is so incredibly weird to think that I only have one semester left at St. Mary's before I graduate, and I've been trying to focus on enjoying the time I have with my classmates and teachers I have left. I only have two new classes this semester, but I am already really excited for both of them. In my new theology class, I have an amazing teacher that I hadn't had in a couple years, so it was great to see her again.
Other than school, something excited has happened in my life - I KNOW WHERE I AM GOING TO COLLEGE. A couple weeks ago I officially confirmed that I will be attending the Oregon State University Honors College after I graduate high school. The college application process has been a fulfilling one where I have been able to study my strengths and realize what I am interested in studying in college. Despite the gifts the process has given me, I can't describe the utter relief that I feel towards the idea of simply knowing where I will be going to college this coming year. To finally settle down and start looking for my niche and wrapping loose ends up has been extremely relieving.
In my personal life, I have found myself trying to pursue things that regularly make me happy, like art and soccer. I haven't played soccer in a while, but it has been really fun to knock the ball around more lately.
Today, I am helping coordinate the interviews prospective eighth graders have with teachers every year. To be able to help with an event that I still remember from when I was going through the application process in eight grade is an amazing opportunity, and I can't wait to meet all of the wonderful girls and their families when they come flooding into St. Mary's.
See you next time,
Bryn '17
