Eighteen!

I'd write another one of my lame excuses for not blogging--but I really don't feel like sounding pathetic. :]

New new new things to write about!
A new semester, new responsabilities, new hair color--etc...
This semester is MUCH more challenging than the last, perhaps because I had a spare first block, and then a grade 11 class. I'm such an achiever! haha.
I'm not gonna lie, this semester has me on my toes, and I love it!
I'm taking a drama class at school and I absolutely lose myself in it! I had the opportunity to go watch an AMAZING play at Keyano College, also, I got to see 'behind the scenes' of what it's like to be a student there. This severely alters my possible career choices.

I've been thinking long and hard about what it is that I want to study after graduating and, to be honest, I'm totally stuck! I can't seem to make a decision. I think I'm too afraid of the potential outcome if I fail miserably. I know it's stupid and I shoudn't worry so much because I'm young and all--but the future straight-up scares the crap out of me! What will I study? How will I pay for it? What if I get married? What if I never do? Where am I going to live?
Adults are always telling me to keep a calm head, but the decisions I make now will affect the rest of my mortal life! Therefore, I think I have a the right to be a little freaked out! Know what I'm sayin'?

I turned the big 18 last month--I'm officially old! ---uhh, I mean mature. ;]
The sisters in Relief Society have welcomed me with open arms--they are such wonderful and BEAUTIFUL women! I'm LOVING it! I was moderately sad to leave Young Womens, but my time had come! I reccon I'm actually supposed to go to Adult Sunday-School this Sunday, since I've been hiding out in my old class, but we'll keep that on the D.L.

'With great age comes great change.'

I'm looking forward to being able to vote, though! Finally, I have a voice! I know that makes me sounds like the biggest dork in all of Canada, but I strongly believe that we, the people, are responsible for our country--we are the ones who elect the stinkin' government, so why not elect someone who's actually gonna do something positive for our country? A little bird told me that tuition used to be dirt-cheap because the government used to pay a good chunk of it! Oh--those would have been the days. Now, we're thrown out into the real world with nothing but a spatula to flip burgers all summer, this gives us a false hope of being able to save up $6,000 in two months.

If we are the future, we should be treated thusly. Not like the ignorant teenagers that we really are. We all have potential, we just need to awaken it!

Sorry, I think I'm in a bit of a touchy mood right now.
Moving on! haha. Today I, ever so brilliantly, decided to try on my grad dress again---alone. What a horrendous idea that was! Halfway through throwing it over my head, I get stuck because I didn't untie the back of it, THEN! of course, no one is home to assist me while I shriek and have a minor panic attack. I actually had no idea how to get unstuck from a rather cumbersom situation.
Apparently laughter really is the best medicine, because, after rolling around and laughing my face off at how stupid I am for trying to do this, I found a zipper! I undid that, and was finally able to breathe. I managed to contort my body in a way that allowed me to claw at the mile-long string at the back of the dress. It's safe to say that I won't be doing anything stupid like that again--at least not any time soon!

Well--that's all I feel like posting right now,
until next time!

green means peace!
