I think I'm dumb. Or maybe just happy.

I have a secret: I love Barry Manilow, as well. His cheesy lyrics with the obvious melodies are so sappy and corny that you can't help but to smile when you hear them. In their own strange way, they are beautiful. Their own cheesiness makes them kind of ironic and rebellious for being so blatantly corny. Did you know he's the Showman of Our Time?

My goals for the future keep changing and then I just laugh at myself for being such a stereotypical adolescent. Of course they are going to change... I am only fifteen "with my whole life ahead of me." But for now, I would like to apply to RISD and then go to graduate school, preferably in New York or in some large and interesting metropolitan area. Sometime during this time, I plan to study abroad for a semester or two in France. Which is why my other plan is to take a French class next year at the community college. The only thing I know for sure? I do not want to spend my life in a cubicle from nine to five every single day. I want to fill my life with art, the one thing I have always loved and been passionate about since I was about three years old. Drawing, painting... simply creating. Photography, writing, filming... that's what I want to do. I want to take these thoughts I have in my head and put them into a tangible form to share with the world. So... art school is the likely idea, I guess. RISD is by far one of the best and my main goal, I suppose. Just anywhere other than one in California. I am getting out of here soon already... I don't want to come back.

"
And I'm ready to take a chance again,
Ready to put my love on the line with you."
