I haven't published a blog in, like, 3 weeks, wow! I hate using this excuse, but school has been keeping me busy. I'm trying to figure out what I want to do for college, but I'm still kind of clueless. Seriously, I change my mind everyday about what I want to do. I wish I had another year of high school just to explore more classes (I'm a junior right now).
My mom tells me I should start at a 2-year college, but I'm not happy with that at all. First off, I'd see myself as a failure. More importantly, however, I just want an excuse to move out! But I guess 2-year colleges are ideal for people who don't know what they want to do yet and you get your dumb classes out of the way...I'll still try my luck at universities. I should look into scholarships and financial aid that could help.
Money could be a problem, especially with the recession, my sister graduating middle school and having her Confirmation, my dad getting married (not sure when, I'm not excited about it in the least), and my mom having a baby next month.
It's not that my grades are bad. My GPA right now is (I think) 3.28, I get A's and B+'s, and the last practice ACT I took was a 24 (ACT test is April 4th, *cringe*). I've been told my grades are very good and I should have no problem getting into college. Still, I don't know where I want to go or what I want to do. I only know I want to minor in Communications. I want to major in something having to do with either Math or Computers. I could learn about banking (since I don't have the slightest idea what a bank does), but I'm positive I'll be bored out of my flipping mind if I do that.
My mom and stepdad want me to do something with the medical field...sorry, but you might as well kill me now, because there is no way I'm doing that. I have my reasons... They're mostly concerned with what makes the most money and what always has jobs open. Right now, I can't get a job to save my life since the economy is so bad. Anyway, I'm not doing something they want me to do just because they missed their chance in college...I should stop there before it gets too personal.
Next year I'll see if I can take a class dealing with computer graphics because that seems like something I'd like. I also want to take pre-cal since taking a 4th year of math classes looks good on college applications. I'll try to get into Spanish 3 just so my parents stop telling me, "You should've taken a third year of Spanish." Also, Spanish was a good class for me; I see nothing wrong with another year.
I just remembered, I was going to take this time to work on a scholarship! Well, I'd better get to work.
