Concider The Following

I've been think quite a lot lately. About what I really want, and here's what I've come up with.
  • After Highschool I will be taking some time off:
         All my life I have worked my butt off for good grades and all that jazz. I know I could get a scholarship and go somewhere, except I'm not ready to "grow up" and start the life of College, job, family, retire, die. I just do not see that as working for me.

  • I can apply for AFS and go to Finland, or Sweden (as my top choices) and live with a family for a year, going to another year of highschool and them come home, see who I am as person and evaluate my life. 
All my life I have wanted to travel and see the world, I haven't had many opportunities, except one recently but it is only 15 days and costs about 1/4 of the year I could do, Also with the year I will have the chance to make long-lasting relationships and learn a new language. Both I have seen happen with many AFS'ers that come to my school.

  • Another thing I have been considering, is Buying an old RV and taking the adventure of a lifetime..The lone wolf traveling North to find her self, nothing but the stars to guide her. This does sound like a truely lovely experience.

However the AFS programs have an age limit on them, I also will probably never have the chance to live in finland for a year. With the RV trip I can come back from Finland and save my pennies, maybe go to school and around the time I'm 25 set out on my adventure.

As You can see I have many decisions, and a serious case of wanderlust.

Sorry about the lack of pictures...it's 4am...my thinking tim. Allons-y

Those who wander are not always lost

Welllll..
I'm Back.. I really didn't mean to leave. I really feel like this helps me get the things I want to say out, even if they don't make sense. These past few months I have written some posts, but never posted them, but it just helped to get it all down.
So School is coming up unfortunately, I have zero 'fun' classes this year and a ton of homework I haven't done. But That stuff is not a pleasent topic.



I've really started to focus on my cake decorating and baking. It's what I want to do with my life, it however is not what anyone else wants me to do with my life.

Getting older is also starting to seem more present, I have big decisions to make now. Go to Europe, travel around the US like Delightfully Tacky, (I envy her Brave trip oh, so much) Graduate early, where to go to school. Just so many things I'm getting overwhelmed. But part of life is the hard stuff, eh?
I really want to focus on this blog and posting pictures and life stuff. I love the community of bloggers and how they meet here and becomes real life friends. I really want something like that, it seems very meaningful. As I say that I am also trying to get off the Social Networking side of it and have fun 'IRL' make plans, AND THEN DO THEM. Become independent, stop being connected to the internet and become connected to the world. So Many contradictions. So I hope I haven't confused you too much. I will see you soon. Allons-y
