Dear World Wide Web,
It’s been a crazy couple of weeks since I’ve blogged last. The play is over; I got that lead and had a really good time. I did not get the part I wanted in the musical but I’ve been really busy working as a chorus member, it’s been enjoyable and rewarding. We open in a week and a half!!
BUT, that is not why I’m blogging. I’m blogging because I need to say something, I need to try and figure out what I’m going to do with my life after I graduate. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to get into the school of my dreams or if I get in, would I even be able to afford it. I honestly don’t know what I’m going to do, it’s so stressful. I’m doing what I can to try to get into the best school possible but I still don’t know.
Now here’s the even bigger news. Throughout my entire college craziness another crazy thought popped into my head: I want to join the Peace Corps. Now, this may seem a bit crazy to just say I want to do it but it is plausible. I could do this, I could join the Peace Corps. I’ve been thinking about deferring school and joining right out of high school. I know that joining is something that I would not only enjoy, but never forget. I feel like I’d almost feel terrible if I didn’t do it. The more I think about it, the better the idea becomes.
I just don’t know, I want so much and 18 and graduation day are all coming a whole lot earlier than I imagined. I’m taking my SATs next semester and I’ve been applying for scholarships left and right. This Peace Corps thing seems like a good idea though. Like a good decision, but I’m still very interested in going to college as soon as possible. I’m going to get all the information I need and will try to reach some kind of decision somehow. I have already e-mailed a recruiter to get more information. I’ll see what happens…
Until next time hexel-u(:
