I've been planning on starting a blog for several months now on recommendation from professionals telling me to start archiving my writing, internet suggestion, and personal interest. So, here it goes.
Me in one very long sentence:
I am a writer, reader, and journalist who just happens to be pushing herself to graduate from high school in three years instead of two because her family is moving to Minnesota, who loves the internet more than all of the 525,600 minutes in a year, can't decide what she really wants to do with her life, and thinks that most of the people she knows take much too many things for granted.
:deep breath: There.
That is the basics of my life. I have one more year left of high school (which I am dubbing jusenior year) before I will be carted off to the lovely frigid Canadian neighbor of Minnesota. Because of this though, I have to have an extremely full class load next year and take summer school as well.
I will be using this blog as a social commentary of my high school and life; a lasting archive of my articles published in the school paper; a book review; the main trials and tribulations of graduating early, looking for colleges, and moving across the country, and day-to-day activities and information that I find interesting.
For example: Tomorrow is the State Journalism competition that I will be at all day. Expect a post on all of the craziness experienced there.
See you then!

On a side note: I decided to name this blog after the lyrics from my favorite rock musical RENT because I want to store the events of my ever changing life and be able to look back on how I spend all 525,600 minutes of each year. (Okay...maybe not every minutes, but you get the point.)
