so much to say.

It's MAY!!!!
already that is so crazy. well i haven't posted in oh, i don't know, a month! I am so sorry. I haven't had any time.

So upward bound took us to AI. which is the art institute of Chicago. it's like Chicago state university or something. I"m not quite sure but I know it is something like that. so anyway, we went there on Saturday, and we listened to a presentation. There they specialise in culinary, graphic arts, fashion, and interior design. While listening to the presentation I realised that i have no clue about what I want to do with my life. There are a lot of things that i know i want to accomplish, and i thought i knew what wanted to be "when i grew up". But now i am very confused. I am glad though. Most people that know me know that I have wanted to be a physical therapist ever since fifth grade. and I do. I think. I wanted to be that because i wanted to help people but i couldn't be a doctor or nurse because i hate blood, and gross things like that. I also love children and wanted to work with them, so I thought physical therapy perfect! But now I am having second thoughts. I know nothing about muscles and bones and the human body, and I am not quite sure if i want to learn about all of that. I have always wanted to be an educator. a teacher. But I'm not sure if i will be able to teach one thing in many different ways so that multiple children will understand me. My mom suggested speech and language therapy because there is a high demand for that, but I am not really sure if i would enjoy doing that every day. and yes i understand that I am only a freshman, but i am almost a sophomore, which means that half of my high school classes are already chosen. So I should have some idea of where I am going for the last two years. Most people I know, know that I am artistic and i love doing anything with the arts. but is that really a career? would i really be okay if i was a artist for the rest of my life? or should that just be a hobby that i have on the side? and another thing I have been thinking about is where i want to go. A while ago I was certain that i was going to be moving out to Arizona. which was good with me, i like Arizona. its peaceful, and and beautiful. and Joe Jonas was born there. :p also my grammie lives out there so i wouldn't be alone. and they have an amazing physical therapy program out there if i went into that. then I got an offer to go to Texas. ... hmm Texas might be good. I mean i don't see anything wrong with it. and nick Jonas was born there. My aunt and uncle live out there so i wouldn't be alone there either. And the newest place that i have been leaning toward for the past few months is California. When I went out there last summer, i fell in love. i LOVE California and it would be amazing if i lived there, or went to college there. if i wanted to go into the arts whether it be performing or visual, California is where a lot of the action is. and at cal state long beach they have physical therapy. plus Brandon and Kimberly and my aunt live out there. so again i wouldn't be lonely. AND one of the best things is Disneyland. I have always wanted to work there, and it would be amazing if i did. But no matter what i new i wanted to go west. WAY WEST FAR AWAY FROM HERE. Then this weekend when i went up to Chicago i was like...hmm, maybe i DO want to stay here after all. Chicago isn't that far away. and then we got a tour of the dorms for Colombia and depaul. and OMJ! They are amazing. I was sold. I was like man i wish there were dorms like this for every college. they were so beautiful, and clean and spacious. but i know nothing about Colombia so i don't know. So many options. This is like the first big choice in my life, and i don't want to choose the wrong one. Well that is what has been on my mind lately.

American idol:
What have i been telling you. the final three are going to be my favorite three guys. We only have one more week and my prediction will come true. I really want the final three to be David Archeleta, and Jason Castro, and David Cook. David Archeleta is such an amazing signer and he wants this really bad. Jason Castro isn't the best singer in the world but he is an amazing person and I love just watching him. David Cook, really knows how to perform and he signs awesome too. so they are all different, and i love them all.

Big Brother:
Now over and I am so sad, but i am super excited to announce that James(my favorite) won 25,000 dollars!!! because he was America's favorite jury member. I voted for him like 800 times and i am SO GLAD that he won.

well... i guess that is all for now. I will try to keep you updated a whole bunch this month. well talk to you later.

thanks for reading
