As a senior in high school and a kid who gets along better with people older than he is, Nathan has his eye firmly focused on college. While he still has credits to complete before he can graduate, he is filling out applications and making plans for the next step in his education. He is looking at a major in some kind of physics/applied mathematics field. His first-choice college is USU, which is convenient because he has a brother who is currently a student in the USU engineering department. Nathan is also very interested in continuing his music training and he happens to have a cousin who is a student in the USU vocal music department. With a couple of built-in tour guides, a day trip to check out the campus seemed in order.
Today he drove up and met up with Daniel. He saw the music hall and the engineering lab, asked a bunch of questions, met up with Josh (his cousin) for lunch and shakes and the creamery, and asked a bunch more questions. He came home more excited than ever. He feels at home on campus, which is always a good sign. He’s mentally ready to be there now, but he still has some time before he can start his college experience. He has already been in touch with the physics department about what classes he will need to take, how the major is set up, options to specialize as he completes the lower-level classes, etc. so he has an idea of where to start. Now he just has to complete the application process and actually be admitted. He’s a bit anxious about that part. I don’t think he’ll have any problem getting in due to his stellar academic record, but he still has to the jump the hoops.
