Ooh, oh! The journalism program is called MEDILL and each year the students spend a quarter working full time as a journalist from places across the country or in Latin America, Qatar or South Africa! And it's seriously so close, and yet a good enough distance from my parent's so that I could still be independent and...

AH SO MY SIS AND I FOUND OUT THAT OUR FRIEND IS GOING TO THE SAME COLLEGE WE ARE AT THE SAME TIME. LIKE OMG WE GET TO SEE SOMEONE WE KNOW THERE AND IT'S GONNA BE SO SWEET and then we're gonna transfer and i'm gonna get the heck away from here and see how mad my parents get when i say i want to go to calarts instead of chapel hill. BUT STILL IT MAKES ME FEEL BETTER BECAUSE ALL THREE OF US WILL BE NEW AT THIS ALSO I FEEL OLD BUT NOT BECAUSE I CAN'T DRIVE BUT I'LL BE LIVING ON A COLLEGE CAMPUS THIS FALL LIKE WHAT THE HECK

okay is it strange that i have my colleges pretty much planned out yet i'm not sure what courses i'm taking in junior year of high school?

probably wind ensemble, french honors, ap calc, ap literature, (not-ap) us history, physics honors, ummmm i have room for one more elective..... DRAFTING. YES.
I GOT THIS.

actually dad probably won't let me take wind ensemble because he's sort of against my whole music thing.... he wants me to take computer science instead but honestly i'd rather flute than code any day, and plus, can't let my perfect pitch go to waste right? and also i don't think i should take ap calc and ap lit at the same time because it's apparently a death sentence (figuratively) but i can handle it because next year i have precalc honors and chem honors AND MARCHING BAND so i can handle it all

but i really want to march all four years but i don't think i'll have the time but i don't want to repeat classes and that is the only way i'll not get all these honors and APs

IN ADDITION I HAVE FIVE AP CLASSES PLANNED OUT FOR SENIOR YEAR AND THAT'S NOT EVEN ALLOWED SOMEONE HELP

my music teacher wants me to do something with music
my coaches want me to do something with sports
my english teacher wants me to become a full-time author

((but there's not much money in that unless you're famous))
((and i like money too much))

(((*whispers* hey maybe i'll just marry a rich sexy doctor/engineer (named jared obviously) and then I can spend the whole time writing)))
(((yeah)))

i'd like to do something with writing - maybe a journalist, working for a newspaper, novel-writing (maybe not because my motivation levels always go kaput), NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC HAHA or sth
or something with lots of action because i don't want to be stuck at one place and i rly like travelling
for next year's electives i choose biology, chemistry and eng lit, with history as a close fourth

@nikki: about your fencing teacher's 3D animation degree... do you know where he got it? i can't decide between art school and engineering school and i know i definitely want to work on computer aided design, preferrably 3D because i have more experience with that, and i'm equally good at both character design and stuff like that and modeling/designing machinery parts
