I miss blogging so so so much! :( I can't wait until I graduate and I can blog regularly again. Now, I have tried and tried and tried to do some kind of update post forever but my ipod kept crashing when I tried to make my blog public again, so I finally got on a computer and now here I am! :) I think there are two other posts if you wish to read them, so go ahead if you want. :)
So life lately? I don't know, there really isn't much to say.
I'm well on my way to getting my license! (eeek!!!) hopefully sometime this month I will have it. I seriously cannot wait!!!
And, the weather here FINALLY cooled down! It's been California cold the past three days (praise God!!)
In other news, I've been thinking A LOT about college. Mostly stressing about it. I want to go to college, but I don't feel emotionally or financially prepared to do so. The college that I wanted to go to was all the way near Chicago and that is pretty far from California. Not to mention Chicago is so completely different than where I live. It's freezing cold in the winter, there is no beach, no In-N-Out, no family nearby. It scares me. It scares me how fast life passed. Seriously, it feels like last month I was a little 3rd grader in my first year at "real" school. (I was homeschooled until 3rd grade when I joined the private school I attend now) and now I'm a senior, approaching my last semester of high school and I'm scared to death!
So then, my dad told me that he might be able to go work in Kentucky. He works for Toyota, and I guess there is a plant out there in the Hebron area where he might be able to get a job. California is soooo expensive. Gas prices are literally like $5.00 a gallon. (ok, not this week, it got down to like $4.30 or something and I think I even saw some $3.79 gas last week and rejoiced over that). Houses are expensive, EVERYTHING costs a lot. The cost of living in Kentucky vs the cost of living in California is so different. We could live like kings out in Kentucky my dad says. He would be making the same amount of money he is making here, but the prices of everything out there are cheaper.
So, while my dad was looking into moving to Kentucky, he found out that there is a good college out there very similar to the one I planned to go to in Chicago. It is only like an hour away from where he would be working and it is cheaper than the Chicago college. I really really like the idea of that college and so now I'm considering packing up and moving to Kentucky! Never in my wildest dreams would I have done that. So life in the college area is pretty crazy.
I love California. I will forever be a California girl no matter where I end up living. I love the diversity of my state the most. From the terrain to the people to the food. Everything is diverse. There are so many different cultures and things to do. Diverse is probably the best word to describe California. Do you want to snowboard, surf, and go camping in the desert all on the same day? Well you can, and then you can hit up Disneyland and In-N-Out, and Guadalajara tomorrow. I think I need to dedicate an entire post to my beloved state. Seriously.
So with that being said I would miss the diversity of California, really I would miss California period. I would miss my friends and my church. But I know I need to grow up, and moving to Kentucky might be the best thing I could do for my future right now.
So I will of course keep you all updated in that area. I will try to do an update post like this once in a while. Maybe once a month or something. Maybe during Christmas break I will blog more regularly.
Well I love you all, and I miss blogging so much. So since I feel no post is complete without pictures, I'm going to leave you with a few. :) Most of them are beach related cuz of this post, I'm in a beach mood.
