Planning and Praying

Wow, a month without posts...how disappointing :(

But I shall continue!

Updates:

  • Moved into a new apartment; better neighborhood and no more carpet, yay!
  • Picked classes for next semester - to be honest, I chose 3 classes instead of 4 because (next point)
  • Going to study abroad in Japan next year!
    • This is what I'm praying about A LOT. I feel nervous, but it's the opportunity of a lifetime, isn't it? I already have one year of college credits towards a bachelor's/associate's degree and all I need for high school graduation is American Government ( a one semester course/.5 credit). 
    • I haven't told my mom yet, and I'm trying to get a job so I can get the $50 application fee :< I'm great with computers and I'm highly adaptable, so all I really need is favor.
    • So my 2 options are:
      • stay and get an associate's degree when I graduate
      • or go and spend my senior year in Japan
    • I thought about it, and my mom and I... it's... burdensome a lot of the time, so if I'm not truly happy here, then I might as well go. A year's worth of college credit is more than what most high school students have and in addition to that I'm an AP scholar - isn't that great? I'm proud of myself, and I've wanted to "break free" and be independent and I've loved other cultures for such a long time (particularly Japan) so why shouldn't I go? I prayed and cried, and I'm almost 100% sure God gave me peace about it - it's just the typical sense of uncertainty that makes me think more than I have to at times.
    • Prom: Either way, at my current school, prom seems to "flop" a lot, so I think I might go with someone from my old school this year to get it over with.
  • In short, I'm happy and positively pensive. I found a great new friend, but again, God had granted me wisdom.
xoxo,
K. Nu
