"Hello Lovely Seventeen Readers, So as I sat down atop my bunk bed to sip on some delicious freshly brewed coffee (at 8:30 p.m.) and write this blog, I noticed I have a very nice view of the Oak Ridge&amp;#039;s (my dorm) backyard. I&amp;#039;ve noticed this before of course, but tonight I guess you could say I noticed a little bit more. Maaaaybe that&amp;#039;s because two people are currently making out like crazy and rolling around out on the grass out there! Ah, must be spring fever... crazy kids! I just had to share that small tidbit of information with you all, I mean, I&amp;#039;d wanna know... back to blogging... Let&amp;#039;s see here...what&amp;#039;s up with me? Actually! A lot is up with me. Maybe I should make you a list? Yes, a list, that&amp;#039;s a good idea. This way I&amp;#039;ll be able to get all of these jumbled thoughts and &amp;quot;to-do&amp;#039;s&amp;quot; out of my head and onto paper (well, virtual paper...) for me to see and know exactly &amp;quot;what&amp;#039;s up with me,&amp;quot; too.  Finals are just around the corner \u2013 AHHH!! Fortunately for me though, a lot of my &amp;quot;finals&amp;quot; aren&amp;#039;t actually finals. A few of them are actually papers (Yes, my forte!) And then a couple more are group assignments. Pretty sure I only have about one actual final. :) So yeah, those are coming up in about three weeks. Naturally, number two, is that along with finals coming up in a few weeks, so is summer! This means I will be free (well, besides working at the golf course) but free of school. Plus, I&amp;#039;ll be taking a few trips to Florida/Arkansas. So yes, summer = soon :) There&amp;#039;s something that I&amp;#039;m actually having a lot of trouble with: I might transfer to the University of Arkansas next year. I applied, I got accepted, and I&amp;#039;m so ready to go to a huge school with a football team, Greek life, big classes, southern boys, and... just everything that I&amp;#039;ve always wanted in a college. Arkansas has always (and I&amp;#039;m talking since my junior year of high school!) been in the back of my mind as a place I&amp;#039;d love to end up at (I have a lot of family there) but I never had the courage to actually apply. I just wasn&amp;#039;t sure I could be that far away from home. But now, being as how I&amp;#039;m an accomplished, newly-independent, responsible almost-first-year-completed-college student (haha!) I really think I could handle it. And I know I would love it. Here&amp;#039;s my problem though, I also (in an effort to open up all of my options for next year) applied to the study abroad program here at Eau Claire, and was accepted. Which means if I stayed at Eau Claire next year, I would be spending second semester in England! And traveling all over Europe! And I&amp;#039;ve always always always wanted to travel. But it would mean I&amp;#039;d have to spend another semester in Eau Claire before England, and have Eau Claire be my home school to come back to after England :-/ (Classes don&amp;#039;t always transfer over: my chances of transferring out after that are much slimmer... We won&amp;#039;t go into that.) Plus, I could always study abroad through Arkansas, too. What to do what to do?!? Help!  I&amp;#039;d planned to go on with my list buuut I realized that the last one was pretty much was a novel, so I&amp;#039;ll stop there. Help me out on that one, please! I&amp;#039;ll keep you updated. I&amp;#039;ll be in Arkansas for my cousin Shannon&amp;#039;s graduation in a couple of weeks and I&amp;#039;m meeting with the financial aid office, so within the next couple of blogs I should have some more details concerning the big decision! Until next time, Car Do you have any advice for Carly? Tell her in the comments section below! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
