We just had our senior softball banquet. I had to give a speech along with the other two seniors, who happen to be two of my best friends. What a night. I tried to keep it light and humorous because I knew people (my mom) would be bawling. But, it was inevitable that tears would touch the tablecloths. My brother gave me a hug without my having to ask for it or even initiate! I guess that’s how you know you’ve had a successful night. I love my friends so much, and can’t imagine getting up everyday without being able to see any of them. Hopefully, I’ll get used to it. That makes me sad to say hopefully that will happen, but I want certain things from my life, and I need to follow my plan. They’ll always be a big part of my life, and I’ll always love them. Don’t cry again, Paige, it’s only a blog. In other news, last week there was a huge showdown between Tulane and Richmond for financial aid packages for me. But Richmond came out on top, and I paid my deposit on Friday. On Thursday, I also found out I got into Emory, but I was already committed to Richmond, and I don’t want to change my mind. I can see myself there. I can see myself doing well there and accomplishing all that I want from my college experience there. It’s just up to me to obtain it now.
