If you want to see a really thick book,

look up Four-Year Colleges -- 2010: More Than 2,500 Colleges in the United States, Canada, and Abroad by the Peterson's company.  There's a good chance that it's thicker than Stephen King's thickest novel (but, since I don't know which one that is and I'm too worn out to look it up right now, I couldn't tell you the title -- if someone does have a care to look it up, let me know, merci).

The point is, Mom, Dad and I have been looking through that book all afternoon, and I'm beginning to fear it's given Mom and me a complex.  It's hard and stressful work, deciding on a college.  Especially when you have to do it, like, this weekend.  I'd like to stay in Ohio, to be near home, but I'd also like to study in California, because of the atmosphere and because I have relatives there (even though I barely know them, Dad said that would still be good for me -- he said that his cousin Eric could beat up anyone who messes with me [lol]).

I'm pretty sure I'm going to be majoring in French, though I'm not sure what type of career I'd like to lead with that.  I don't think I could command the attention of a room full of high school kids, much less university students, but I don't know how I'd do as an interpreter, either.  Of course, I still have loads of learning to do before I become fluent in the language, so we'll have to see.  I love French class so much, it's not funny.  I think about it all the time, practicing French in my head when I walk home from school (in the mornings, walking to school, I'm too tired to think, lol).  And I actually love doing the homework for that class.  I've never had that with any class before, so you can tell it means a lot to me.

Of course, I still aspire to be a famous author, but this way I'll have a steady income.  I need to get writing again, I can sense that you few fans who've followed me thus far are getting restless.  Thanks for all your support.

I'm so fucking tired right now.  My eyes hurt.  Hopefully this long weekend will be restful.

Anyways, enough about my boring life.  How's everybody doing?  I know it's earlier-on in your high school career for some of you, but have you decided what you want to do for a living yet?
