Wait, what?

Posted At: 11:06am by Rachel Engebretson

It all just donned on me a couple days ago. 

I need to apply to college next week. 

Heh heh…Great. 

Yes, River Falls , I am seriously a legal citizen of the United States. I’ve already told you…I’m not an alien…Quit asking…I have to prove my citizenship in Wisconsin ?? This is like, the 15th time already!! 

Yes, River Falls , my dad did finish college, thanks for asking. He has a job. He’s not an alien. 

Yes, River Falls , my mom is an alien. JUST KIDDING…No, no, you don’t have to ask me again…I was kidding, really… 

What’s my social security number again? 

Where’s my temporary Visa… 

…I mean… 

And then, just when I thought I had my personal statement all perfect, I found out I have to rewrite it.  

The concept isn’t all that difficult. Less than 500 words? Sheesh…I can handle that. All words have to be pertinent to the application question? Wait a minute…Only 500 words, you said? 

Let me grab an extra cup of coffee…This thing will get done yet…I’m not an alien…much…

Re: Wait, what?

... I thought you weren't going to River Falls because there weren't any good confessional churches around.

Did I miss something?

It depends how close they need to be. There are good confessional Lutheran churches about a half hour away from RF and others, such as Klemet Preus' congregation within an hour's drive.

FWIW

That changed once my parents talked about letting me take the car to college. Blogger Smiley

Klemet Preus' congregation is within an hour's drive?? I didn't know that...cool!

Re: Wait, what?

Wow, is that an early application? I know I'm not starting applications for another couple months. But yeah, moving does kind of get in the way of that... I don't recommend moving at the beginning of senior year. Blogger Smiley

Yeah, I figured applying as early as possible was a good strategic plan, before they get swamped with applications. Blogger Smiley

Re: Wait, what?

ya, I got lucky and got in Cypress College quickly when I applied a couple months before the semester started. I later heard that they usually get most of there applications during the Fall Semester.

Re: Wait, what?

Wow. You did your application back in September? Impressive.
