1. Of high school?

What do have planned next? College? Workforce?

May I recommend the University of Wyoming? Nestled between the Medicine Bow Mountains and the eastern WY prairie, the University of Wyoming is the school that gave Dick Cheney the education he needed, to become the man he is today!

[Ava]

2. high school, yes

yeah, i'm working on college apps now. i'm stressed out, terrified, and excited at the same time.. if that makes any sense.

[elshiva]

3. Yes, it is, hon.

:( :hug: What's is bothering you specifically? :hug: :grouphug:

[Ava]

4. working on college apps

and i'm terrified! it is stressful as hell, but i really can't wait to go to college. hopefully i'll end up at a good school.

[elshiva]

5. Oh, dear. That is really difficult.

:( :hug: What colleges are you applying for? What is your first choice? Any college would be lucky to have you. You are an intelligent person. :hug:

[Ava]

6. i'm still editing my list

i hope to end up in boston, so i'm applying to several schools there in addition to Alabama, UT Austin, and UCLA. i'd like to keep my list at 5 or under, but i'm thinking about saving up to pay the application fees for 6.

and thank you :hug:

[elshiva]

9. What school in Alabama?

:shrug: Just asking...

You are welcome. :hug:

[Ava]

10. university of alabama

:hi:

[elshiva]

12. Is that a good school?

:shrug: :hi: :hug:

[Ava]

14. yeah

15. Hook 'em!

Love,

[Ava]

16. they have a great film program

:hi:

[Writer]

17. They DO.

And, hey, you just might "bump" into Walter Cronkite there. :P

[jobycom]

7. Pshh. Piece of cake.

:) Actually, it does get better, near the end when you realize there's pretty much nothing that will stop you from graduating, and you've worked out all the details of where to go next, and everything is about looking forward rather than worrying about what to do right then. The last couple of months feel like a party.

But getting there is a pain.

[Ava]

8. yeah, unfortunately i'm going through that "working out all the details" part right now

*sigh*

thanks :hug:

:hug:

[Ava]

13. oh no, application deadline hasn't even come up yet

i'm working on my apps now :hi:

[Fighting Donkey]

18. I'm telling you, U of WY...

DICK. CHENEY. That's all you need to know. The most powerful Vice President in history! Hurrah!

[progressoid]

19. Well, you should be in bed young lady.

And stop using those intertube things.

:)

20. So nice to see you Ava.

I don't speed much time in the lounge but looks like I picked a good evening.

Do your best and breathe deeply. We know your work and only see good things in your future.

Enjoy.

[MissMillie]

21. try to enjoy it anyway

yes, it's stressful

but it's stressful in a way that is very different from the stresses of say, having a job, a house and a family to take care of.

You're only young once. Try to enjoy it.
