does everything start today, or end

so this bolg truely goes with my overall title. Today is possibly my last track meet. Or maybe I will go to Regionals. I don't know. I will only make it to Regionals if I can jump 4'8" today. Last year I was jumping 4'8" a lot, but I got screwed over by Mr. Teeter. He has a one track mind that never included me in his talented group. Even though I had totally out jumped Kendle almost the whole year. Nothing against her--it wasn't her fault she went to Regionals on one 4'8" jump (and didn't do too well, I might add). But now Teeter is gone and it is all up to me. So far I haven't been able to clear 4'8" this year for some reason. Kendle is once again going to Regionals because she cleared that height once. Today is windy and not exactly prime jumping weather. So I have to really concentrate on this height if I want to go to Regionals. But then there is the fact that if I don't clear it, I will be officially done with track for the year. I can completely concentrate on my numerous English finals coming up, and I don't have to worry about getting back to the high school on time for track practice. It will symbolize a close to my junior year of high school.

and then I will be a senior. I'm not sure what to expect for next year. Chances are that I will be NHS president, FCCLA officer, heavily laden with other resposibilities. Plus I will have to start making decisions on where I want to go to college, what I want to do, how far away from my family I want to be. This summer, Mom, Taellor, Tami and I are going up to visit Macalester in St. Paul, Minnesota. Great looking college, and I would love to go there if money weren't a problem. And then the fact that my parents will be on the opposite side of the country. That is one long drive to get there for Christmas break. I won't be able to come home like Jason does to do his laundry. Or if a relative is visiting, or anything. But do I want to limit myself to going to a Georgia college when that may not be the best place for me? UGA is also a great place, but do I want to go there?

a lot of questions and not a lot of answers here.

UGA is fairly strong in international studies I hear. And Christmas would be one airplane flight away. You give up all the other weekend trips home, probably not the bigger holidays. And you don't have to decide anything just yet. You have several months before schedules start getting tight.

Relax, you have a whole year to think about it. Tomorrow's my last day of high school and I'm still not completely sure what I'm doing in the future. I'll wing-it, I'm usually pretty good at that.
