Everyone is telling me to slow down.

Because I want to get all my college stuff done before my senior year. I am a junior this year and I believe I can at least start the process like getting my grant from my dad's VA benefits. I don't know how to get that started so I have to have my dad help me. I want to go to Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, Washington and major in sound design which is under performance production. The grant is accepted there so that is one step done.Another one is I have to see if I will be a home schooled applicant or regular applicant because my school is a charter school although this year they are making all independent study students go to school all day 5 days a week.But on another note shouldn't they be happy I'm doing this? Because that shows how much I want this right?
