Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Its been a long time since i've posted a personal journal entry. Actually, I think the only one i've made harkens back to when I joined Gaia. Jornals have never been my things, but maybe they should be. I need to work on my writing skills anyway.

Another year gone and, as it seems to me, two to go. I guess I do look at college with some apprehension, but also with happiness because it means I will be free of this horror known as high school. My sophomore year is now behind me and my junior year looms ahead, but I still have my entire summer ahead of me before then. smile

I'm not entirely sure if I can call this a real "summer" because theres no real free time for me. I have academic decathlon and, soon to be, projects for that, which will undoubtedly take up a large portion of my time during the week. Then I have my internship at SMU that, although fun, is sometimes tedious. So far all i've done is screen filtering. I really, really want to do picking! But alas, I don't know when I will be allowed to do that.

Once July rolls around my time will become even more limited then it is at the current time. Because I will be taking a college algebra class along with my other things. I'm not entirely worried about the class because i'm really good at algebra (curse you conics), but its just how much more time of my life it will take up that i'm worried about.

Of course I can't entirely say that my junior year is going to be a barrel of laughs as well, considering how loaded up I made myself. But I suppose its necessary if I want to become valedictorian or salutatorian of my class. I'm not entirely sure what my ranking is right now, but it was 20 from the first semester. Hopefully the one B that I acquired doesn't affect my grade all that much, though I don't think there was anything I could have done to stop from getting it. I pride myself in that I got an 88 in that geometry class, considering that nearly everyone failed almost all of the tests for the second semester. I, at least, got a C on those tests, enough to keep me from failing the class outright.

From where I stand, looking past the two years that lie ahead of me, I believe I can see the light of Cornell beyond there or maybe itsjust a figment of my imagination. Its my dream to go to that college, but I know that it is nearly impossible to get into. Maybe I have another path ahead of me that i've been thinking a lot about lately, but it still eventually leads to Cornell. It would probably be easier if I got my bachelors at another college and then transfer to Cornell for my master's and my ph. d in paleontology. I really don't believe that theres that many people going to Cornell just for its paleontology program, so it should be just that much easier for me to get in. I can only hope and keep my grades up. AFter doing that, only time will tell if it was enough.

A POWERFUL chara that can do nothing.. some thing may be binding him or her... And he/she must use pawns to make what they want to happen.

X. A warlock older then the sands of time. Having been alive so long and battled more foes then he can count.. life bores him. Wanting his own end he stets up a complex web of generals and troops to be "hunted". Making himself look to be an old weak, but powerful mafia boss, he sets up adventurers to hunt his men... to eventually get to him.

Yes no?
