I'm a Work in Progress.

Hey. So, I'm sitting here trying to calm down from the crazy little cousin's birthday party. That many sugar high children should NOT be allowed to be in the same place. Anyway, I wanted to talk about the title of my blog. At first I had it "Once upon a Time" and I guess I liked it for a while I was going for the whole I'm telling a story and my life is like a fairytale thing. But life isn't a fairytale so that just doesn't work. I decided that it needed to be changed but I couldn't think of anything else. I tried and tried, and eventually I just gave up and decided that until I think of a good title I would leave it as "Work in Progress". I left it as that for a while and kept trying to think of a good title, but the more I saw "Work in Progress" the more I liked it. I mean, I am a work in progress. I'm not perfect and I'm not done. I am always changing and trying to become a better person, and that is the point of this blog. To explain my life and the challenges and how I improve myself because of them. So the title fits perfectly. I am a work in progress.

On a lighter note, I saw Harry Potter 7 last night and it was AMAZING (: I fell in love with all the characters all over again and I can not wait until part 2 comes out. I was just phenomenal. Naturaly after seeing the actual Harrp Potter movie I had to go on Youtube and watch the musical. It is hillarious. I would recomend it to anyone who loves corny jokes and Harry Potter. It is called A Very Potter Musical and once you've watched that one you HAVE to see A Very Potter Sequel. Both are totally awesome. (you will get that when you watch them). They are both pretty long, like the length of a full length movie, but they are absouletely worth it. (:

College????

Cried myself to sleep last night...that happens way too often then it should. I shouldn't be this messed up. I wish I wasn't afraid of being alone, and I wish I didn't mess up every good thing in my life. I just do, all the time. I hate it. I end up hurting myself than anyone else hurts me...or maybe I just keep blaming myself for what other people do. I don't know. I swear, I'm only just about 16, but I could totally write Messing up your life: For Dummies and it absolutely sucks.

Well...I always find just forgetting and moving on is the best for this sort of situation. That's all I can do, so new topic. For a very long time I've wanted to be an English teacher/novelist. I thought this was relevant to this blog seeing as I am writing this blog to get better at writing and prepare myself for my future career. I love writing and I love reading. I figured since I don't have the attention span to finish an actual story right now I could write a blog. It's just like a bunch of little mini stories that can prepare me for future writing. I am also taking an IB (International baccalaureate) English class right now, I have a solid A. I beast at English and I love it so much. I'm looking into colleges that have strong English programs, but I've found that practicially EVERY college has an English program which is making narrowing down my search difficult. Seeing as I am Mormon I thought it would be best to think more about BYU BYUI and SVU. Of those I really want to go to SVU but it's the smallest and most difficult to get into. It's also the most expensive, still its not very expensive but its more than the about $6,000 it costs to go to BYU a semester. Since I'm just going to be a teacher and I know my sallary wont be an insane amount I don't really think I should try for really expensive colleges that I will spend the rest of my life trying to pay off. That just isn't necissary. I will seriously consider MA state schools if I get the John and Abigail Addams scholarship, which is a possibility. If I get that scholarship I have a full ride to any state school of my choice, so that would be a very good option for me. I could have the same college experience not too far away from home and then go to a better school for my masters.

Thoughts? Opinions?

Music=Life.

Yes, I know it was almost a year ago when I last posted anything...but hey, no one reads this anyway so who cares? Anyway, life is intense...like all the time. So much can go on in such a short amount of time as a year. I mean in five years this year wont mean anything, but it was the year that has affected me the most. I've realized that I have been spoiled with a nice safe and semi-happy life. I had nothing particularly bad to deal with until this year. Now, its like everything is falling apart. I've also learned that no matter how bad things get they will get better, so don't give up. ever. Someone loves you...even if you don't love yourself.

I've been really into music lately, I typically don't do anything without music in the background. I take the lyrics to heart and when I can't express my feelings with words I find a song that can and I sing. Singing is my favorite, I live for it. I do it so much it often annoys people, but I don't care (:
One if my most absolute favorite songs right now is......Revenge is Sweeter by The Veronicas. I really just love it, but in a week that will change and I will be in love with another song. I also really love Lesley Roy, Misfit is one of my favorites <3.

Now I'm going to blog more often...I promise. Bye for now (:
