The College Question

The thing (thing?) most on my mind these days is the college question. I had kind of hoped it wouldn't be such a difficult decision. And perhaps it won't be. Perhaps it will be perfectly clear two weeks and two days from now, but right now it isn't very clear at all. I learned to my delight this Christmas break that I have been accepted to Wheaton! And then a week or so later I learned, to less delight I admit, that I am a finalist for the Macclellan Scholarship at Covenant. I am so enthusiastic about Wheaton and now there is a compelling reason to become enthusiastic about Covenant. It's all very difficult, this business of deciding what is most important to me in a college and how big a role money should play in the picture.
