I'm Jes :]

We’re graduating

soooooo soon!

There’s SEVEN days of high school left. Ever.

Holy crap.

I’m still in disbelief.

I feel so much better

about finally deciding. I think I finally know where I fit in know, and that the rest doesn’t matter. I will confess, I’m quite nervous.

Only like, 3 more papers to go. And one is half way done.

41 (week) days until we walk across that stage!

It’s second semester

and I’m starting, basically, fresh.

New classes and things are looking up. I dropped Child Development, finally. I’m indescribably happy that I dropped it, now I can focus on important things like Community Service and Spanish. Photography is starting too, and I’m looking forward to having a creative outlet in my schedule, although I hear the teacher isn’t the greatest…

And then theres Psyche, with Stanton. FML.

BUT we got our Cap and Gown announcements the other day, which means Graduation is upon us. 150 days to be exact. I don’t know if I’m ready, for college, for life. I still haven’t decided on a school, like I have a top…4? 3? I’m not sure.

For now, I’m content with the 4 days we have off, no exams, no nothing. This week will be about decisions, major ones. Scholarships, Summer Abroad and of course, College.

I’ll just enjoy my kitten sleeping on my lap, in the present, that sort of thing.

So of course,

there was drama. But no matter the case we had fun.

And best news of the weekend, I got accepted to Cazenovia!! School number 2! WHOO!

I’m hoping that

this “vacation” will be one of changing.

I quit my job today. I hope that I can find a new one.

I’m visiting my family for thanksgiving. I hope that we all can get along, no drama.

I’m all applied for college, I think. I hope when I come home, I have good responses!

:]

Soo…

I think I’m all applied to college!

YIKES.

I’m lost

I don’t want to go to college. It’s all really scary and really exciting.

Like what if I hate it? Or what if I make tons of awesome friends?

What if I don’t know my major? Or what if I know exactly what I want to do?

What if my roommate is smelly and awful? Or what if my roommate is totally awesome?

What if my professors don’t like me? Or what if they love me?

I’m so nervous and all these ‘what ifs’ keep popping in my head!
