After sleeping for two hours, I woke up at 4a.m. and hiked up a fucking mountain.
It is now 11:39p.m. and I haven't slept since.
Today wasn't a very good day to watch the sunrise though.
The past two times we've gone, the weather was beautiful and the sunrise was nothing less.
The view from Mt. Hollywood is the second most beautiful thing someone can witness in California. The first being the sunset from the beach.
Today we couldn't see a thing.
Since no one had eaten anything, we all went to Canter's afterwards and inhaled a delicious breakfast while blurting out funny anecdotes.
Choosing a career is pivotal.
Fuck up and you're fucked.
I take college and possible career paths very seriously.
I go through periods of mental unease, in which I do nothing but research colleges.
It's usually evoked by my realization of, "...you know, come to think of it, I really don't want to do that for the rest of my life.."
...And then I panic.
My mind is not capable of performing normal, everyday tasks whilst I simultaneously think about college and my future. It's just not one of my boastful talents.
So the next couple days (maybe week) is spent in front of the computer, not on youtube or gmail, but on college websites, google, and wikipedia and such.
That is why I'm prone to fickleness.
Nothing is ever perfect, but I get pretty damn close in my tentative, "potential life" reveries.
THE POINT:
Another mind change...sort of. Surprise, surprise.
I decided after some very thoroughly thought out scenarios that I actually would like to attend UCLA as a Political Science major (and possibly an Italian minor) and study abroad in Italy at some point.
After that, I want to go to Columbia's Journalism Graduate school, being that it's the best in the country, quite possibly in the world....and I adore Columbia.
I was debating over whether or not to try to get into Columbia college, but after some deliberation I deemed it unwise. :)
I'm pretty sure I already wrote in one of my posts that I want to pursue a Journalism career.
Every year the Okinawa Club sends a high school graduate on a full-paid scholarship to attend Ryukyu University in Okinawa.
Two of my cousins did it and really enjoyed their time there, and one of them even got married to a classmate and stayed.
My family has connections with the club because my grandpa contributed to the club in some way, and my grandma knows some of the members.
So I'm planning on applying for it either after graduate school or undergraduate school. I'm not exactly sure yet.
I'm going to pass out now.
