   go-hon go-hon (cough cough) byouki desu yo...(I'm sick!)


and


LMAO

these are too funny. I have to go to two a day.

anyway! today was...sort of interesting... o.O doesn't feel like thursday, though.

Ok! so, first hour, dull, second hour...well...I turned in the much dreaded M. Butterfly essay/analysis. that stupid teacher. even if you give her proof, if you disagree with her, you're WRONG! meh.

and then third hour, math, was okay. just talked to this girl. and also, we had college fair. get to that in a sec.

fourth was fun; a physics lab. easiness.

fifth was okay, i just talked to my classmates.

sixth was dull; just looked over college papers.

seventh was okay; I'm 1/4 of a point away from 100% and my friend Marco is 3/4 of a point away from a C...(it's Japanese class) and I dunno. I helped him do his make up work...i hope he passes; grades close tomorrow morning.

oh, and lunch was tons of fun! I was talking with the funniest guys ever: John, Dino, and Luis. We just needed Zak and Dave, but they were at ROTC.

yeah. back to the college fair!

I want to go to Portland State (it's in Portland, Oregon) because they have a decent English program, and a couple really good Japanese programs (Japanese, and Teaching Japanese) Unfortunately, it's OUT OF STATE! so it costs about 3 times more for me to go there than an instate college... :-/

in case you didn't know, I want to be a teacher or a writer as a profession.

but there's this scholarship, that, since I have really good grades, I can get a big scholarship to pay for my tuition. still, it might be like 27,000 dollars....

then there's University of Wyoming, which is out of state, but it has a REALLY good English program, it's cheaper (man, I wish I lived in Wyoming~! it's not even $5,000 a year for in state tuition. that's almost like community college is here!) and it's closer, so...

Colorado State University at Denver, and Colorado University at Boulder are both pretty good colleges. I like CU better for its English and Japanese programs, and they're both IN state for me, so...yay! plus, there's a college thing (collegeincolorado.com) for CO residents... it's still about the same as WY, though...

I did check out a couple community colleges, but they're not what I'm looking for. only benefit is that they could get my required, core classes (math, science, social studies) out of the way and make it cheaper for me to go to a different, REAL college.

then there was some REALLY shitty college, Mesa. it was instate, but it didn't have what I wanted, and the reps. were really...they made it look bad.

oh, and as to the PSU, I could go, with that scholarship, but I'd have to study one of their courses as a major. one of which is International Studies, and that's what I already study in high school, so it's all good.

anyway, I still have a year, and then some, if I decide to take a year off and live in Japan...

we'll see...i need to make a list of pros and cons

which college do you plan to/do you/did you attend?

thank you!
