Inevitable is Change


I'm ready for change. I think that's why I really want a new hair cut. I would already have one but Ashley isn't calling my mom back so we can't really set up an appointment with her. It's frustrating-it's like she's fallen off the face of the earth or something. Who knows. But yeah-I want a new haircut. Something radically different than what I have like a new part, new length, new color, new whatever. Maybe not a new color but something different. I don't really know specifically what I want though... I'm just ready for a change-a change in scenery, people, place, etc.

Lately I've been thinking about my future career. I've considered so many from curator to linguistic anthropologist. I think I'd love to go to Africa and be a teacher or a doctor there. For about 2 years of my life I wanted to be an anesthesiologist then that died away. I'm just an easy-to-please type person. A lot of things interest me-especially intellectual things. I'm not a creative artsy person and I really admire people who are creative/artsy. When I go to college, I feel like I want to major in history, German, anthropology, nursing, English, business, economics, etc. Then I have to think, "do I really want to be researching for the rest of my life which is basically what anthropologists do?" I like to read but I definitely don't want to be an author. I would hate being a politician and lawyer. Teaching would be too frustrating for me. I just don't know. I feel like time is creeping up behind me and even though I have some time left in high school, it'll all be over. To me, high school is a serious time and it is the ultimate determining factor in one's future. I mean, it determines what kind of college you get into and to me, college is even more important than high school. High school is just the beginning of a long chain of dominoes: Life is a long chain of dominoes. Maybe I take life too seriously but I guess that's just the way I am.

Question: Is it odd to think that the whole idea of dying is somewhat comforting?

Rain


What is it that I love about rain? I don't know why, but I'm in love with it. It's just so perfect... I like to wander in it, get lost. It's just soothing. It's like the color grey. I feel like it describes me well. I'm rather a melancholy person.
We had a QB tournament yesterday. The most I remember about it was there was a Harry Potter question about Diagon Alley and Eshwar buzzed in and said Gringott's. He was so proud of himself at the time, too that he knew the answer. But he got it wrong. It's ok, we won that game by like 200 points anyway. We went up against Huron Valley and lost but it wasn't really even a team. It was this one guy and he knew every single answer that his team got. He was the only one that scored any points. We were creamed by DCD which was to be expected. There was a Mormon question but before the question ended, Andrew buzzed in and said the KKK. I couldn't help but marvel at the paradox that created in my mind. I had great noodles for lunch at Noodles & Co. Andrew is really good at singing the theme song for CSI. And Samantha should have been there when I totally powered a Henrik Ibsen question all because of a "syphilitic husband in Ghosts".
