A Small Update

As school, work and fun make their dizzying trio around me, I take a few moments to write a blog post. I have to start out with announcing that I have all of the 65 hours required in order for me to take my driver's test. Now, my test is on the 23, at 9:00, I believe. Now I hope that I pass. I'm starting to be a little worried. I know I'm a good driver, but I also know that a lot of people have failed, and I'm afraid it's harder than I thought.






Other things.... I'm trying to find myself a laptop/notebook. I need one so I don't keep needing to use my mom's, but I am at a loss to know any difference between them all, besides their price tag! I do know that I want a smaller one to travel well. I do not want a chromebook. And it must have an SD card slot.






Also, I am continuing on college application stuff. I have been accepted to one three colleges. There are two other colleges I'm waiting to hear from. Two of them I still must send my SAT scores and my transcript, I think. I had to pay application fees. :-( Yuk.






What else is going on? Well, I have some ideas for my future, and my annoying mind likes to keep working and plan out my future, regardless of what I tell it about having just to wait and see. So if you were wondering what my mind's planning out... well, there are a lot of ideas. I know of a ranch out in OR that is the kind of ranch that I've always dreamed of starting. The only problem difference I would have done is make it a longer stay for each child. But it is pretty cool - one on one time with an adult and a child and a horse. And I would just love to go there. So maybe someday I'll volunteer there.




Other ideas I've toyed with in my head are - get a nanny job; go through AIM (Adventures In Missions); go to Colorado and go through Eric and Leslie Ludy's Discipleship training at Ellerslie; take sign language classes; volunteer at an orphanage; travel the U.S.; go visit my cousin in... well, I can't remember what country he is in. Europe?


So you see the vast wealth of ideas that I have. I can't say really if I'll do any or all of them. I'd LIKE to do all of them. xD





Does that really characterize my life at the present moment? I don't know... I think it does. I've been cramming hours of school into short periods of time... been trying to force myself to early hours (partially successfully, and partially not)... been using free moments to write letters, play piano and cello, jot blog posts, and, truth be told, I'm realizing that adult life ISN'T as fulfilling as I thought it would be. I always believed that once I grew up I would be able to prioritize and do all sorts of things I wanted, while at the same time being worthwhile... um, am I making sense? Perhaps not. Wierdly enough, I sort of drifted into adult life, complete with tons of responsibility. Instead of having eight subjects of school to complete every day, and my free time arranged around whether or not I've completed it (thus, I would feel like I had a good, worthwhile day if I did all my school, got ahead, or such, and feel like I had a bad day if I read all day, and got no school done, etc.) NOW I hardly do any school, and I am stretched between work (two days a week), school, and a bunch of 'unworthwhile' things - music, friends, fun activities, family, housework, etc. And unfortunately, if I don't watch my days carefully, I can easily waste away time!
