Letter of Acceptance

I haven't posted in FOREVER...but life has been hectic and all of the above. I have one important announcement however: as long as everything works out, I will be attending Bethel College in the fall! I am majoring in exercise science there for three years and then have to complete my licensure somewhere else after that. I am so excited and can't wait for summer to start, then end, and then start a new semester! I never thought I would ever be so excited about starting another year of school, but now it is possible :) I am going to visit friday and spend the night there with a friend who plays on the bethel volleyball team. Then, in June, I go up for registration and get my fall semester schedule all lined up. IM SO EXCITED!
