Happy Easter for those of you who celebrate today! Oh, and before I forget– I replied to your guys’ wonderful comments on my last post…. I love hearing your experiences with college and how CP may be affected by it all…it’s nice having those of you who do read and are in college, share some advice and stuff because most of what I hear is just from my friends who are in the same boat as me, or from adults who are 20+ years older than me. :p And no offense to them, but it is just nice to hear advice from teens and young adults who have the recent college hindsight AND have CP… double plus. So thanks, I really take your words into account…. especially now that I have made my decision!!I, Katy Lea Fetters will be attending Soka Univeristy of America in August! Me, college?? I love saying that, its just so exciting, relieving, and wonderful all at the same time. It just feels right. I went there early last week with my friend and I just felt like I could really see myself calling this place home. It is an amazing school, (for lack of a better word im just going to continue) that offers an amazing program, with amazing people, in an amazing place! I was lucky enough to receive a generous scholarship too. I am set!!
I do hope that you all enjoyed your spring break, even if it was weeks before mine…Easter just came late this year! I relaxed in the desert sun a bit, saw some some neat things in downtown San Diego, and now am ready (yet slightly dreading) returning to school….can’t I just be done already?? Haha, I know, I know I am going to try and cherish these last few weeks of high school….but I can’t help it, the future is just too exciting! Graduation in June, Europe this summer, and then I am off to the rest of my life! :p So please forgive me if I sound all too hyped up about 2011 haha. I am sure all you TeenCP seniors know what I am talking about, and the rest of you lovely readers can relate to this feeling in some way or another. Enjoy the rest of April as we spring on into yet another month
Hold tight, and stay happy and healthy TeenCPers…. summer is almost here!
I wrote a poem about the full moon I saw in San Diego, and ended up complimenting it with the sun I saw in Palm Springs… Enjoy :) (Here’s also some pics I thought I’d share)

The beautiful Korakia in Palm Springs!
Overcast day, but downtown San Diego on the SS Midway!
Had to buy a sweatshirt of course!
Ominous moon sits in the sky
Awaiting the nurturing blanket of clouds
That are nowhere near
As the sky is clear,
And the stars are dull
The ominous moon frowns upon the shore
As the tide grows low
And the lunar light dims
A slight sadness fills the southern night
Alright, alright, he says
And glows for us
A soothing sight
Searing sun sits in the sky
Exudes this desert heat
Calm stoic breeze
Invites the shadows with great ease
Ingratiated, do I feel
In the presence of her vibrant existence
The searing sun smiles upon the earth
As the people come to soak up her rays
And envelop themselves in her nurturing warmth
Up in the sky, midday
Too hot, you say?
Alright, alright, she says
I’ll come back some gloomy day
My teacher loved it and asked me all sorts of questions….things I haven’t given much thought to. Like where I am going to take TeenCP…if it will change once I’m no longer a ‘teen’… hmm or if it will become somethin’ else once I head to college…a charity/organization perhaps? I guess time willl tell! 
Due to school, work, and my not so in-soccer-shape-bod, I don’t want to make a commitmentI know I won’t be able to keep to. Another reason as well, is that last season I noticed that our teammates would continually flake at practices and even games, that sometimes we’d have to play with 8 or so players! That was so hard on my body, playing 45 minute halves with no break….by the end of the game, either my ankle was killing me or my opposite leg was so fatigued beyond ‘repair’. So I didn’t want another repeat of that. Most of the girls that I’ve played with since we were little have moved on anyway, that it’s just not the same! To me, part of playing soccer is simply the team camaraderie. Ohh well. Looks like I’ll just be hittin’ the gym more frequently to get my cardio in. Maybe I’ll find some new places to hike! Bueno!
I can always retake it, but I am fairly confident in my academic ability. Glad that is over with until I get my scores back. Although I am still en route to a few more important exams this year. AP tests this week, SAT subject tests, the ACT, and finals week all in June. Wow thats a mouthful! It’ll be nice to knock all that out, and then call myself a senior! Definitely got to look toward applying for college this summer! I might have to take a trip back East to keep my options open. This time in my life is all so exciting, and going by SO incredibly fast!!
