I know. I never do my homework anyway. But, now I don't have the stress of dealing with poor grades. I always make up for it during my finals. But, haveing a C or D until then is stressful. I usually pull through with a B. But, a year of work, and a year of travel. THEN back to school

Yes, I want to visit the big tourist countries. France, spain, portugal, england. But, I also want to visit some eastern block countries. Like, poland, which is what most of my heritage is derived. And definitly Germany too, because I hear they have good beer. There's so much I want to visit. I could go on and on about where else I'd like to go. I even want to go to Russia. That would be the s**t.

Work up enough money for a ticket and some pocket cash for a few months. Then fill up a backpack and take off. There are a lot of youth hostels in Europe so living expenses for travelers is pretty reasonable. I already have a ticket on standby from my grandma. And after a year in the California Conservation Corp I'll have more than than enough money to live in Europe for several months.

Saving up for college is pretty understandable. You know a lot of colleges offer an exchange program of some kind. I'm sure where ever you are will offer tons of great programs. My community college alone offers trips to Italy, England, and France.

Have your counselors offered one of those test things to you, wait what grade are you in, cause I mean, they might offer it if you are in a specific grade, depends on the school, but at my highschool they offered us a test where we took it, asked us questions of what we liked to do, eventually, it came down to fitting the descriptions of certain careers that might appeal to us. whee 3nodding

You can do what I'm doing or, I should say, was doing. Just take your General Ed courses, you know, earth science, humanities, english, foreign language. You know, like a college sample platter and figure out what you do like. Me personally, after I took some history classes with this one teacher that really inspired me, I felt the strong calling to become a history teacher. So that is something I really want to do. I also love philosophy and am really tempted to minor in that.

I've already tried that and I've seen all the classes the school has to offer and have tried the ones that sound interesting and fun to me, and to be honest when I take a class on something I like I usually hate it after I take the class. It just completely takes the fun out of it all.- well that's how it is at my school anywayz though it can be made worse then it shoud be depending on the students and teacher

Or maybe, after seeing what it's really like you just decided you didn't enjoy it?? Maybe. Me personally, I find it difficult to just go to school one semester after another. That's what usually burns me out fastest. That's why I'm leaving for a while. IDK, maybe if you took a break from school, and worked your a** of, you might appreciate school more. Then your will learn wouldn't be sapped by taking all these classes. Or maybe, I'm talking out of my a**. I don't know. You'll figure it out.
