When I was little, I thought I had everything under control. All I had to do was to go to school and then go to college and then I could be a teacher, a ballerina, a singer, a writer, an actress, an artist, and a mother. Oh, and also rich and famous. All at once.
That's what I thought when I was five.
Now I'm a high school graduate, and everything is so confusing.
I know what I want to do with my life and how I can accomplish that. But I don't know how I want to live my life. I know what kind of work and things I want to do, but I don't know what kind of person I want to be.
Life, love, and living - it's all so complicated, and I'm still a teen!

Okay, see this photo?
On 11th March 2005, Alice (then-Managing Editor) asked me to take a "photo of the issue." I happened to have my personal camera with me that day - I brought it because both Review cameras were out of commission and I needed to have some photos for my features pages - and so I left the Review room in search of a good "photo of the issue." I'd known for some time that the quad would not be available to us during our senior year, so I thought, "What the heck" and walked around on the quad. The above photo is of East Farish and is one of the several photos that I took that day and that I've kept because I'm sentimental.
Anyway. I was looking through the yearbook, and I've seen at least two appearances of this photo! The first one I noticed is on pg. 283; the second one I noticed is split between pgs. 268 and 267. Now that I've seen my own photos appear on the above-mentioned pages as well as in the Imagination section, I'm starting to wonder what other photos were on the CD that I gave Cat a while ago. I hardly remember giving her a CD, but... oh, well! :)
I'm leaving for Philmont in one week.
