| Thing of Going Too |

 I've made meals for my family three times in the last five days, and baked cookies twice. Given, they were completely screwed up the first time, but hey, this time they're not so bad. In fact, I think they're good. Not as good as my cousin's, but she's some kind of Kitchen Goddess. It's one of those genes they can't prove exists, but it's really there. I would post a picture to show just how adorable the cookies are, but again, no USB.
I'm bored out of my mind. I know that sounds like an exaggeration, but it's really not. I miss being at school. I would go back  and endure the test-taking-stress just so I could hang out with my friends again. It wouldn't be so bad if everyone else wasn't in school right now, but Eastern got off a week before most colleges and a week and a half before the high school, so I'm stuck at home all day with nothing, not even a car. Not that I have anywhere to go, but whatever.
I've been thinking about college in the future a lot, too and this morning I took two hours to figure out what I'll be taking for the next three years. I have my schedule pretty much figured out. I think I'm going to go to Nice, France, this summer on a study abroad thing with the school. It's pretty cheap, $5,000 in all, and that's including tuition, airfare, and spending money, etc. I guess it works out to be about the same as a month at school, but most programs cost the same as a quarter at school, even though they only last a month to six weeks. And who wouldn't want to spend a month of his or her summer in France? Okay, some, yes, but I want to and I think I will. My dad thinks it's a good  idea as well, so I'm pretty sure I can talk my mom into it, even though she's concerned about the money. But I'm paying for it, so I don't see her problem. Okay, I do, but I want to go and it's a good thing. You always hear about what an enriching and benefical thing it is to get different perspectives and other cheezy things that are, when it comes down to it, true. And I would get to spend a week in Paris, which isn't really the main draw for me, because I'd rather see the small cities and get a feel for what it's really like to live there. And Nice looks more like Italy to me. Then again, it is really close to Italy. I could walk to Italy from there, man! (Not really....I mean, I could try....)  And Janae is thinking of going too and she knows a couple in London who we could possibly stay with for a week or something, and how awesome would that be? I would like that so much.
So I basically just have to figure out the money. If I worked, I could take care of half of it. But that's hypothetically, and if I didn't spend any of my income. I also have some leftover from my loans for this school year (bad calculations on my part for what I needed) and I can take out another loan for the rest of it. The only problem is I need someone to co-sign it with me, and I could ask my grandpa but my mom was complaining about how I shouldn't and such. I just don't know. I need to work it out.
I think, though, that I'll have room for Japanese in my schedule. Or more Spanish. I don't know which I'll take yet, but I'm excited. |

I wish we had cool manholes like that in America. In Cheney we have some that say "Cheney" but that's not nearly as cool. And they even have rectangular ones too.
