It's time I start looking at colleges. I have good enough grades that I can go out of state on a scholarship, hopefully, but I have to start planning early. (I have two years of high school left.) There's this one college. It's so unusual, so unlike any other college and so unlike the school I go to. But it seems so perfect for me that I nearly cry every time I think about it. It's about a day's car ride from my family and from my extended family (who live up North, while I live down South.) But that's good too. I feel like I need to just get OUT. Get out from everyone I know, everything I know, and really start making something of myself on my own, without my family and friends' help. It's going to be an exciting next two years. I have accelerated classes, theatre productions, and a possible trip to Russia and/or Poland. But I can't wait for college. I can't wait for this next chance to prove to myself that I can do IT, whatever IT is.
