eph update

[ephemeral]

so i sent in my application for IHOP's Forerunner Music Academy finally, (i think i've mentioned this here before...) and i really hope that i can get in...but there are tons of things that really need to happen before i would actually be able to go there.

 

1. i need a high paying job

the tuition is 2200 a semester, and i will be counting on 300$ a month for renting a house with 3 other guys down there, so money is a huge issue, considering that i cannot get a federal Stafford loan, any government grant, funding etc because it is non-accredited. they are getting accredited sometime in the near future, but until then, i cannot get any help from the gov. pray that i get a job, and soon

 

2. i NEED blessings

there is no way that i will be able to make it down there if i dont get huge gifts...i just simply won't be able to make enough money at my job. the highest paying one that I've found is around 10$/hr for landscaping, but i would really rather avoid that because of the nature of the job, I'm not a fan of that kind of work. pray that i get blessed incredibly.

 

3. need to get accepted

heh yeah i suppose that should be #1 eh. but yeah, i sent in my app, and if they like it, they'll let me know and I'll go down there for a live audition with one of my buddy's, if he gets accepted. pray we both get accepted and that our auditions go well.

 

4. need new instruments

the instruments i have now are a yamaha fx-335 acoustic(crap) and a schecter omen-6(not complete crap, but i need something better). also, i'm starting to learn bass this year, and will need a bass guitar before i leave. pray that on top of all my expenses, i will have enough to get a good instrument. i'm looking in the 500$^ price range.

by the way, on top of getting ready for college, applying for a job, and finishing my last year of high school this year, i have to move! its not a big deal socially, I'll still be in the same community, only 6 miles away, but its still a huge deal.

I was there when I went to briercrest bible college right out of highschool 4 years ago... I know the feeling. Have fun with it man! And relax, if God can reconcile humanity to Himself, He can get you to school if He wants you there!

Don't put all your eggs in one basket. I would apply to several colleges/programs and pray that God gets you to where hHe wants you.

You also have to get your license. Chances are, you wont find a high paying job that is within biking distance from your house.
