I'm really sorry about not being around, guys. So far, 2009 is killing my existence. Just to keep you all up to date:

I'd been juggling around the idea of becoming an art therapist instead of science. It sounded like a super awesome idea at the time, you know? I love taking pictures and drawing, and even painting when I feel like it. I also love to help people overcome their problems when I can, too. It seemed like a match made in heaven. And then... the Science Honor Society's Career Day struck. I ended up escorting around the nuclear scientists for their lecture. While I listened to them, I realized that I was being an idiot. Science is where I really wanna be. Anddd, that's where my decision to become a biology major (with a chemistry minor) stemmed from. I'm happy with my decision, but I'm still worried because of the times. In all honesty, what's the likelihood that I'll get a job? So, of course, my over-active brain made plans A, B, and C. A is my dream of being a field scientist, working with animals or with the composition of outer space and earning my doctorate. B is attempting to earn my doctorate and gain a professorship at a university as a biology professor. Far fetched, I know. C is the absolute last resort, in which I'd go with art therapy.

So that's that side of my life. Crazy, eh? I'm about to pee myself, I'm so scared about college. It's gonna be so different from what I'm used to, and I'm afraid I won't be able to hack it. I'm hoping it's going to be okay... but I'm not putting any stock into that.

On another slightly similar note, I have exactly 5 days left in my senior year of high school. Awesome and frightening at the same time. @.@ The teachers have been piling on exams and homework. Truthfully, I have a chemistry project I should be working on right now. >> Oh, well. I'll get it done. Anyway, next week is the beginning of finals. Yikes! So far it's looking like I won't have to take my French final, and Chemistry is on the fence. I need to get an A this time around. It's all up to this project and the test I have on Monday. My real worry is Calculus. Our teacher told us that our final was going to take us over 2 hours to take. That's absolutely insane. I'm gonna freak out trying to study for it. :\ At least it'll be over with, though. I'm glad.

That's all for now. Hopefully you'll see me around more. :]
