well.  that is about the most accurate online quiz i've ever taken.  well, maybe not the 10 personality, but that just might me being modest. lol. anyway, it's like 6:52 in the morning, and I can't fall back asleep.  Our school has a two hour delay. . . for no reason.  It's 32* outside, and there is no snow on the ground.  Can somone explain this to me?  I'm not complaining, but, well, actually I am.  If we don't have midterms today because of this, I'm screwed.  I have an NASB for WACA (honors band thing. . . all day at Quaker Valley) tomorrow from 8 until 4, so i won't be able to take midterms tomorrow.  I think that Hauser will change the schedule so that we can take them.  It's getting rediculous.  If we don't, i have no idea what we'll do.  Maybe Barthen just won't send us to WACA, or we'll stay afterschool today or something to make them up.  I don't know. . .

Guess what? 90 days of school left!  That's exciting and incredibly exhausting at the same time.  On one hand, we're half-way there, on the other hand, we're only half-way there.  90 days of school sounds like a very long time. . . . I can't wait until summer!!!!!!!  I've decided that I'm not going to work.  I don't have time for a job.  And, well, I just don't want to work this summer.  I think I'm going to start my senior project early.  I think i'm going to make a model of a green home (environmentally friendly).  While this sounds fairly straight forward, it's not.  First I would have to do tons of research on green architecture and engineering, then come up with a plan best suited for the house that I plan to make.  Then I would have to actually make it, to scale, and make it look good.  It's going to be pretty expensive too.  The stuff at the craft store is not cheap.  I don't know who my mentor would be either.  Maybe Mrs. P the architecture teacher?  I think she would do it if i asked.  I don't know.  If i did this project though, the paper would be really easy, which is my main concern.  It would be all about building green and how it developed and how it helps the environment.  you know, in a month or two i'll probably come up with a better plan and scrap this.  Or i could just do the ever popular clarinet choir / teach someone how to play and then have Barthen as my mentor.  Atleast one person from each section every year does this.  It's actually really simple.  You just have to be aware that you are depending on others for the success of your project.  If people don't show up for practices or lessons, your screwed.  The paper would be really easy as well.  It could just be about music theory, or music thearpy, or anything like that.  While it would be easy, it has nothing to do with what I want to do, like the first project does.  I think I want to go to Penn State for Architectural Engineering.  It encompasses my appreciation for architecture and design and my strengths in math and science.  I said appreciation because while I love architecture and design and such, I'm really bad at making my own.  With Architectural Engineering, you work with an architect, and your job is to make that design a reality.  I don't mean construction, but more like the structure (where to place beams so the building doesn't fall down, but still looks like the architect wants it to look, or the types of materials used to make it more environmentally conscious/stable/economical) the electrical (design the electrical plan for the building) etc.  They can also help with accoustics, HVAC, and construction management.  If i did decide to do this, I would probably go with the structural part.  . . . . . . .You know, the more that I type about this and describe it, the more I don't like it.  Why do i do this? . . .

Life sucks and then you die.

I want a plan for the rest of my life so bad.  I keep trying to choose a major now, but I don't think that I can.  I need to experience the major and decide after a hands-on experience.  I really do want to go to Penn State though.  As much as I love the University of Texas at Austin, I just can't see myself there.  However much I hate snow and cold, I really can see myself at Penn State.  . . . I'll figure out the rest of my life, but not at 7:11 on a Monday morning of my junior year.
