Reading blogs and thinking about life

Sometimes I want to be 16 again when everything is so new to me and everything is fantastic. Sometimes I want to be wide-eyed and naive again. Have I seen too much? Been to too many places?

Of course that's not true. I just need to do something that is different. Get off the track, run to the woods. (not sure if that is an expression, but I think you'd get what I mean)

I just love reading my cousin's blog posts. She is young, reminds me of the girl in the movie An Education. I am just 3 years older. That was me a few years ago. It's amazing how much growing you do in 3 years. I don't mean physical growth (obviously), but growth in experience, in learning about the world, in wisdom.

I feel more sure of myself now, like I can achieve anything.

Since high school, this is what I've done/memories:

-university credits (these weren't easy!)

-built really close friendships with university friends

-networked and have a sort of good collection of people who can help me or who I can help

-went to CMW, took lots of pictures

-got a photo PUBLISHED in a musician's CD

-got published in two student newspapers

-earned the title and job of Photo Editor for next year's paper

-learned photography (using an SLR)

-Bronze 4 in sailing

-G1

-Organized a successful event out of school (how do you define success?)

-read quite a few books

-had some amazing experiences with friends (if I could list them all out I would-hard to pick just one)

-okay fine, I will pick one. Ingrid Michaelson concert.

-performed music at events

-got into drama/theatre
