Sigh

I went to Lowe's one time, and I found this paint called "sigh."
Apparently, this really amused my mother...because I supposedly sigh a lot. I would argue that it's just how I breathe. You might be wondering why this post is called "sigh." Well, it's mainly because I've been sighing a lot more than usual due to the chaos that is life. It's how I deal.

And I just had the thought. I could totally write about that in a college essay. The one where they ask you what makes you "unique and colorful." I never really know what to write about those, although I think my religion and family size are pretty easy to write about. Considering that less than one-tenth of one percent of the world's population is Mormon, I figure it's pretty "unique."

College essays are making me stressed. Actually, it's more like the cost of college that's stressing me out. I think I have a few options. A) Suck it up and focus on getting into BYU where it's only $2,400 (or so) a year, B) try for a really good scholarship at an OK school, or C) just get into a bunch of debt....ugh. Yeah, I have a love hate relationship with BYU's tuition costs. For some reason, I really like these small, private liberal arts colleges that are $30,000+ a year. It's dumb.

Which is another thing--I've been using the word dumb quite a bit lately. I don't know where I got it from, although I know Clayton uses it. Hmm, maybe I got it from him? I decay.

I've been cast as Portia in Shakespeare's "The Merchant of Venice." My stage debut. I'm going Broadway all the way. Who needs college when I have an acting career ahead of me?
