i really really really want to go to oxford university when i get older. like really really really really. and i don't know why. i always have. and i just realized i'm going to high school now. ok i didn't just realize, but u get what i'm saying. i realized that if i'm a freshman this year, that means i have four years to be honor roll every quarter of every year so i can get into oxford. and even then, i might not make it. and i really really want to go. and i have only four years. at the same time that seems like a loooong time to maintain A's, it also seems like a short time to have to learn everything i need to know. i really need to work my ass off this year. and next year, and the next year, and the next. because i know i'm only 14, but i'm worried about this already. like seriously, i'm worried. oxford is the only place i want to go. ok so i lied, its not the only place... if i didn't make oxford i wouldn't mind dartmouth or yale or brown or harvard. my brother laughs and says community college for me whenever i mention stuff like this. but seriously, it would be so cool to go there. everyone on my dad's side of the family just went to like, University of North Dakota, and i'm not even sure if my grandma or anyone even went to college, and on my mom's side... i don't even know. my uncle went to yale i think, but other than that, it's also been university of north dakota or st.catherine's or something... no ivy league other than uncle john. and i'd love to be the first in my family to do something like that. it would be so awsome... just to see the smile on my parent's face lol... plus the benefits for me, of course... i don't imagine it'd be hard to get a nice job with a degree from oxford... i don't even care though, i don't want a nice job filled with tons of money and luxury. of course it would be a nice bonus to have such an easy life, but all i really care about is that when i'm older, i have a family that i can support, i'm doing something i like, and i'm happy. but i really really really just want to go to oxford.
