I am going to move there when I finish my degree in Photography and Journalism.

Sudbury there's absolutely nothing to do for sure! Ottawa's even a lot better, and I hate Ottawa. I would either live in a huge city with a good music scene and lots of things to do, or just out in the country with nothing but a wooden house, barn, ripped jeans, and an acoustic guitar, and nothing in between the two.

it's an ok-sized residential city. there's daytona 20 minutes away and orlando around an hour, but that's as good as it gets. it's just unstimulating (save for school, i'm still surprised that we actually have an ib school in this area) and i need somewhere where i can always be ON.

Oh Well I can't say the same, L.A. is somewhat good, but it is just too slow paced for me.

Good plan! School's the only thing holding me back from moving right now, but 1 1/2 years is barely anything. I just have to fait un effort en francais une grande part. There's an entire organization in Montreal dedicated to getting english people job's though, which I'm going to look into

yeah, i need a good pace to keep me going. school is the only reason i haven't ran away, really.

well, and my family and friends, because they're my world and life without seeing my brother grow up would suck.

Yeah i would move, but I am not stupid to move without a degree in something you know? I need to survive.

of course. i always hate whenever i see "be cool, stay in school" and "DROPPING OUT IS EVIL" stuff that they show year after year, in every grade... why the fuck do i need to be told to stay in school? the dropouts around here sit around and talk about how much their life sucks and not much else.

god, i wish i could do the overnight visit.

Yeah, I figured that out when I started to work in a factory, that's when i decided to get my high School Diploma and go to college and major in something I like.

For sure! What motivated me in college was my brother as well. He got a job after high school and moved to montreal, and he has literally NO money. Like, when I visited him 2 days ago he had $7.00. So it inspired me to go to college and get a job that I enjoy and make a decent pay.

Victor - Yeah, that's my plans as well! My course sets me up with a full-time government job in design in Ottawa, so I plan to take that and while I have that job, look for jobs I can apply for in Montreal. Once I find one, I'll switch, so I'm making money in the mean time.

haha, that reminds me of a poster they had back in high school. It was anti-marijuana poster and it showed a tombstone. We found it hysterical since it's probably the least probably leisure drug that will kill you.

Anyway, I'll be back in 10-15 minutes

i think i want go into journalism, but i'm not sure. columbia's journalism major and grad school page make me feel so.. inferior. even just the department of english page. but i am going to get in. [hopefully.]

Im a liar. Im not gong to sleep.

I know some colleges are good, but I don't see why it matters which one it is. Sometimes a lesser known college is better than a famous one.

i've never really seen the glamour in those vagabond-ish lives. i love "on the road", but a comfortable life is much more appealing.

in eighth grade, in the cafeteria, the students working against tobacco club or whatever started an anti-pot thing too, and had a "be a smarty, don't join the pothead party" poster with a big marijuana leaf on it. it was the most hilarious poster. it barely looked like a leaf.

columbia has this thing that appeals to me and i don't know what it is. their website gives me a good feeling. plus, at school they push us to look at top-tier schools. there are a ton of smaller schools i'm looking at, but columbia just gives me this sense of belonging.

I never liked marijuana it overtly pitched my senses to the max. I got way to paranoid.

I don't think I can make it to those big name colleges. I just feel overwhelmed when I see their websites.

i have this feeling i'm born to be in the rejection pile, but who knows.

i prefer drinks to drugs.

I do too, feel that way. Well I am off to bed I have school tomorrow.
