Oh, the thoughts.

Hey, y'all. I can't believe I didn't post yesterday. *facepalm* Failure aside, I had a pretty good week. It sped by after Tuesday, oddly.

I've been thinking a lot about college and my future and such. It's really exciting. But, as I once read somewhere, the future is made up of a bunch of nows. So, I'm working on making my nows great.

A couple of weeks ago I started with this Project 333 dealio. The basic idea is that you pick 33 articles of clothing, not including underwear, outerwear, PJs, etc. and use only those 33 for 3 months. My reasons for starting it were 1. I wanted to become less dependent on my outward appearance and let my personality shine through, 2. I wanted to stimulate my creativity through creating outfits with limited resources, and 3. I wanted to see how little I use some of my clothes, so I can see what I don't need. Pretty good reasons, I think. BUT. I've been pondering, and I don't want to limit myself. I want to develop my own style that reflects my personality. I want to be able to find something really, really cute and see what I can do with it. And, I can see what clothes I don't use by just observing how I dress normally. Soooooo, I'm going to end my participation in the project and do something different. With money from Christmas and my birthday I'm going to purchase a new wardrobe. I wear the same things all the time, but I don't feel comfortable or love them. So that.

Back to the subject of my university years. I've always known that I want to write. Novelist, columnist, and the like. Not poetry or plays, I don't think, though. Anyway. So, my major is going to be something along those lines. THEN, I think I'm going to minor in French. Or have a double major, or whatever. I don't really know how ye olde college system works as of yet, but I've an idea. I've always been fascinated by other languages and accents, and I've always wanted to speak a second language. French really appeals to me, which is why I am studying it at school. I plan to go to French III next year, then AP French after that, then study it in college.

Since I ADORE Europe, I'm going to travel and live there someday (starting with next summer - England!). I've also wondered if I should go to college there. Or, go to college in the States, but do a study abroad program for a few months. That would be incredible!

So that's where my head is these days.

Also, I've been thinking a whole lot about sports. I am going to do volleyball and basketball. I made the unwise move of not even trying out for basketball at my school for 2 years, so I know that I'll have to be really good to be on the team next year. I've been hard on myself about that lately, but I'm going to remedy it. Therefore, I'm going to start playing at a sports center by my house to get my sea legs back, then do a club. That way I'll be fully prepared for the season! I also want to be good at something, since I feel I don't truly excel at anything. Since basketball and volleyball and running have always been things I love and have fun with, I thought these would be good to be great at.

Aaaaaanywho, thanks for listening. I'll sprecken to y'all next Friday on time. ♥
