Set your goals...

Mood: Stupefied
Listening to: Remember That I Love You | Kimya Dawson

So, I think my future just came up and bit me in the face.

I finally realized the importance of my grades... the real importance. But at least, I wasn't too much of a slacker. My cumulative GPA is a 3.5, which isn't that bad. But if I get straight A's this whole junior year, I will have a cumulative GPA of 3.7. Hello good colleges.
To add to that, I made a smart move in avoiding study halls like the plague, and I only have to earn 3 credits my Senior year.
So basically, if I can get over this huge hill of 11th grade, so many more doors will be opened for me. I can spend my senior year attaining scholarships, entering contests to pad applications, and getting a job.

Problem is, I know I am not straight A material. But, I'm sure as hell going to give this year my all! I know what I want, and I'm still at the point in my life where the sky's the limit. I'm going to have to make a lot of sacrifices, including putting my graphics website more to the side, putting deviantART on hiatus, and lounging less on the weekends.

Thankfully, the old adage that we reap what we sow proves true in many cases. And I'm pretty sure that mine falls under those cases.

Actually, the sad part about colleges these days are that they're denying people with 4.0s, especially with people who have no clubs/after school activities.

And don't even think you can get into Berkley with a 4.0. No. Freaking. Way.

Yeah, my teachers hit me hard with the truth last year, they were like "good luck!"

yeah. so...hopefully some AP classes will make you a little more appealing.

I don't even know what I'm going to with my life, I'm screwed as far as my parents moving right as I enter college. I don't know where I'm going to go, or if I can afford going somewhere where they're not going. They want to leave me behind in florida. NO!.

;_; and they want me to go to a Community College. At the rate I'm working right now, and with my 3.89 GPA + AP classes, I'd be BORED in Community College. -_-
ADFMEWAD. Where do you want to go/what do you want to do when you get out?

BTW, where do you want to go?

Luckily I have had straight A's up to this point (Scraped 90.3 or something on AT-Track LA).
When you think about it, people tend to put off their free times so that they'll not screw up in school without even thinking about it.

Study halls blow. At least here it blows particularly hard. No one gets work done and people instead socialize about how hard the test is rather than studying for it.

But yeah, I have a feeling colleges will slap me across my face if I don't start thinking about it, too. But I glad as hell to be out of middle school.

I guess just 1 club won't cut much, would it? Damn it, all my previous teachers have told me is to get in AP classes and not about Extracurricular activities. Some clubs don't sound too bad about now, either... if I could only keep myself from walking out of school right after the bell. School website's clubs haven't been updated since like 2003.
Buuuuut I feel sort of encouraged to start blowing off Spanish II and Pre-Calculous. God, maybe I should've just stuck with French since I went down from Canada.

I don't know what I'm going to do with my life, either- all I've thought so far is going for computer science/engineering and Georgia Tech. My mom also plans to go to Alabama with my dad after I graduate from high school, too.
Unfortunately, I still don't have a job and still can't get one. =< Maybe I should go back into volunteering in libraries again.
Wait, I don't even have driver's permit again! That slightly doubles my concerns!

Why oh why do I suck so much at Mario Kart?!

I can sympathize with your predicaments. Spanish II sucks, I just grinned and bared it until it was over. But, I was recently comforted with this monologue. [link]

Yeah, I don't have a job and I don't have a driver's permit. |( I'm useless.
