I was...

Totally going to write something today but I totally don't remember it. :/

In news:
School is turning up. I dropped physics and my general health has begun to soar. ;)
College stuff is finally turning for the better. I've got my head out of the water and now I've got to just keep swimming. Still no news from the college in Cali... I'm not sure if I got in yet or not. :/
Photography is amazing. I can't believe for so long in my life I was living inside an art bubble. There's so much I want to explore now in this medium... it's amazing!
Imam Zaid Shakir (see HERE) is coming to town next month! I already booked my ticket. ;)
I'm thinking about keeping a diary for last semester of high school. I will get around to it eventually.
I can't wait for APs to be over... once they're over I will be FREE! :D Oh joyous ease!
I've been very sentimental lately... bursting into tears here and there. Even over nothing! (like watching the first season of Pokemon. XD)
I can't wait for high school to be over. Now I know I'm just going through the motions.


I hope your day was good. Sorry for lack of interesting posts.

RIP J.D. Salinger

So sad. :(

Home: Study for spanish test, study for Eng. final, AP physics.

Friday: School:
Spanish test, final prints and mattes (Print ghost photo. matte self-portrait and ghost photo)(need spotting! ah!), Eng. final, World History final, final prints and mattes again after school (scanning and spotting is KEY!) Again, getting home at about 6ish.
Home: Physics homework allllll night.

College Woes

I have finally decided which college I want to go to:

and it's in Berkeley, California...

Let me list one of the many problems:

• 4 yr tuition comes out to about $110,600
• It's in CALIFORNIA for pete's sake! Sure I've traveled the world but always with my family... I'm scared pantless of living on my own.
• It's in California. That means no snow. Gawsh. [okay, so not a real reason, but whatevs]
  
• Home sick. Home sick. Home sick. [okay, so this isn't a real reason either, and could be merged with the second one]
  
• It's not an accredited college... this is their inaugural freshman class. (This means I get a bachelor's degree... but no other college or university will accept it. The college is trying to get accredited... but it takes 4-7 years.)
• They only have two majors, neither of which are practical for a job. Which means I would have to come back home after four years and STILL get another bachelor's degree. Which means another extra $34,000 or so.

Now let's list the good parts:

• I get to fulfill my dreams NOW... instead of waiting until after college.
• Shaykh Hamza Yusuf, Imam Zaid Shakir and Sidi Usama Canon will all be teaching me. (allow me this moment to freak out. If you do not know who they are... GOOGLE them! I've had at least one lecture by each of them, and I have come to adore each of them in turn. They are teachers that truly made a difference for me.)
• It's not an accredited college... which means when I come home for another bachelor's in science, I won't have to pay as out-of-state and I won't even have to give them my transcripts! Oh joyous ease!
• I get to explore the world a little. I've never lived in a town where you walk everywhere or take the amtrak. I've never even crossed a street in my life. (ahahah shameless, yes, but we are the heart of the American Auto makers)

So... now I just need to break it to my parents and discuss. If they say no, it's alright, I still have my dreams planned out for post-college.

So, to you people out there, what would you choose?

Please help me pray...

For a snow day!!!
