Rant

It's been a over week since I last updated my blog so I feel that I should now.Well a recap on my weekend, which was...nothing really except a piano test that I took on Saturday.I choked on Fur Elise and some other pieces, but I think I did pretty good.

Well back to what I was going to really post.Over the weekend I started to really think about my future and what kind of career I should pursue.My brother's friends came to the house and took the downstairs livingroom, so I decided to come up to my room and soon got bored.So I started looking through everyone's Xangas, Myspaces, etc.One had a post of someone who had came from Troy testing and found that people who went to Troy could go to MIT.I mean I knew Troy was a good school, but never that good.So then I started to think, "If I could get into MIT...If I had a chance to go to MIT by going to Troy then maybe I should at least try."Though if I did go to Troy then I wouldn't be going to Ayala where I could join the marching band and I want to since I wouldn't just want to leave my saxophone behind and as far as I know Troy doesn't have a that great of a band.Then again how much would band really help if I wanted to pursue some other career?Or could I be missing out on meeting lots of new people from not joining the marching band?Or should I go to a completely different school?

I'm still in 8th grade and I don't want to set a career path this early for myself.I'm still thinking about other things I want to do.Possibly a film school?I looked into that and found a great website about people who've gone to film school or something like that and have experienced the process.It sounds hard, but as I was reading people said some things and I thought, "Hey, sounds kind of like me."I have plenty of ideas that I would want to turn into some kind of project such as Flash, but if i got the chance to then I would make into a movie. Some other ones are working in the Video Game industry, which also sounds very similar to the movie industry.Or author?Personally I just want a way to get my ideas out that have been in my head for a while.

Like I said I'm still in 8th grade, but in a few months I'll be in highschool then college and now it seems that time is running out to make a decision.Many of my teachers who are happy with teaching say that they never thought that they'd end up where they are now and that I should just let destiny lead my life, but then again I don't want to end up at the other end where they are now and that they hate their jobs.I don't want to make a decision too early or too late.Now my time is even smaller to make a decision because to get into to Troy I need to take the test to get in and I need to do that in 2 weeks or so I think.So I'm having a hard decision if I should or not, but at the very least I think I should try to see if I can even get in.

Sorry if there are many grammatical errors or if I split the paragraphs wrong or something, I just kind of did what I thought was good because I wasn't thinking about it too much.

And the winds the past few days have been insane.

School Start

1/9/06 was the begining of school and the rest of the year without any other breaks other than springbreak.Last year was alright and this year isn't starting out too badly.Though winter wasn't really as cold as it usually is and hasn't rained as much as it usually does, which is a dissappointment.Other than that I hope that the rest of the year goes as smoothly.I have had my eye on the Creative Muvo or another MP3 player that has at least a gig of memory.So other than that stay don't touch that dial until my next post and if you still have a dial on your TV it's time to get a new TV.

Up

Happy New Year's everybody!It is a little late, but better than not saying it right?Well break is going to be over in a couple more days and I haven't started any homework that I should have done.For New Year's though my computer got moved upstairs into my brother's room since he moved out.Now I'm closer to my bed, but other than that there's no real difference.My brother and I did smack a whole bunch of posters on the wall where the bed is and that looks pretty cool.Until next time.
