Hello!

    While thinking about how to start a blog earlier I accidentally witnessed someone having a moment, and that seemed like it was as good as it was going to get. So, I'm out on a bike ride and I happen to pass by the local smallish sled hill. As I come up to it, a middle school aged person is trying to push their own bike up the hill and is obviously frustrated. They get to the top and start screaming. Guess it was a rough day. This has nothing to do with the topic of my blog, but a lot to do with life, especially how I've been feeling about high school lately. It's a ton of work and, as the end nears, I have a creeping suspicion that will feel the person at the top of the hill, except I'll have a diploma instead of a bike. Naturally, this thought has me dreaming about the distant/near future, college but more importantly afterwards. What will I do? Who will I end up as? All of my dreaming up to this point has assumed that I will be relatively the same person, and helping others and animals will still be important to me. I really cannot see this changing, but my after college financial reality will not be supportive of being Pocahontas and what not. This blog will hopefully be my journal as I find a way to balance my finances and my humanitarian desires.
