So... I broke an arrow with my neck...

Did you see that guys? I broke a real life archery arrow placed in the soft part of my neck by simply taking one step forward.

Step 1: Place the arrow properly on your neck

Step 2: Take a step forward

This took place at the scholarship conference I went to last weekend in Van, TX. And was an exercise in confidence building, because if you were confident and took a strong step forward then you break your arrow, but if you take a timid step the arrow slides up your throat and leaves a big old red red mark, so you have to have confidence in yourself and your abilities to be able to accomplish the task.

The conference is always an interesting experience and this year was not exception. Unfortunately I had to miss two days of class to attend the conference, we left early Thursday (Shout out to my Boyfriend, Townsend, for driving me to the airport at 6 AM) and didn't get back until late Sunday night so we missed out on both classes and homework time, fortunately I had been able to warn my professors in the beginning of the semester and we were able to work out plans for me missing class on Thursday and Friday. That's one really, really nice thing about Transy is that you can work with your professors for conflicts and they know who you are, even in Intro classes like my Preparing to Act course.

The whole group of students and alumni from across the country for the Phillips University Legacy Scholarship.

I'm trying to catch up on all that I missed out on and I'm doing an ok job, except for the program I have to write for Theory of Programming languages that I'm ignoring while I write this blog. :)

I hope that your college search is going well! TTYL.
