Ok, so I really need to stop making it such a long time in between posts on here. It's my senior year of high-school, and I'm still finding it really hard to believe that I'm actually graduating this year. I finally decided on what I want to do with my life, now to just narrow it down to a major, maybe two. I've alwyas kind of wanted a double major, as crazy as that sounds. Anyway, I'm taking the SAT tomorrow, hope it goes well, the only part about it that I'm really nervous about is the math portion. Math has never really been a srtong point in my life, and since I finished my math requirements for school last year, I haven't been in a math class for quite some time, unless you count chemistry. I'm still looking for a job. I really need money for college and life and everything, only problem is, if I get a job, I'd have to ask for time off right away because of the schedule for the school play I'm in. Oh, yeah, I'm in the school play, by the way :P It's really fun so far, but soon we're going to start having to be memorized and everything, and things are going to start getting really stressful really fast. And also if I get a job, there's no guarantee that I can audition for the school musical, either. Oh well, I'll just wait until college or after or something. I'm still young. But still, I would hate to miss out on it. Especially since all my friends are trying out for it.
Anyway, my mom and I got into a little fight earlier about my college plans and how I intend to pay for it and all that. My mom says that I'm not being very practical about it all, that I need to get a job and start earning money before I can even consider applying to a university, maybe even community college. I want, no NEED to go to college next year. I'm not going to end up as one of those people who "took a year off" and then never ended up going. I've always wanted to go to college, and I WILL. One way or the other. Thing is, I don;t have the grades for a scholarship. I mean, they're good grades, A's and B's, but not good enough. And I haven't played my cello in a year, so no hope there. Besides the fact that I don't want to major in anything to do with cello, as much as I love it.
I don't know, things will work out in the end. I'll just keep looking for a job and praying and hoping, and something will turn up. I'm half tempted to sell half my stuff just for some money to put towards college. I tired selling some of my books and a couple movies to this place called Half-Price books today, and I only got ten dollars from it. I brought at least 6 books (one of them signed by the author himself) and two or three movies, all in really good condtition, and all I got was ten bucks. And when I tried to give it to my mom to pay her back for something, she told me to use it as my lunch money. So there goes that.
I'll figure something out, I always do. And life goes on, whether we like it or not. And as long as it's going, I'm going to keep trying my best.
