so I'm almost done with my sophomore year in high school, and lately I've been doing a lot of thinking. I've known i've wanted to me a doctor since i was ten The reason being because of my skin. All my life I've been from doctor to doctor and they've never been able to tell me why my skin is the way it is.

So when i was like ten i decided i wanted to be a doctor and to find out why my skin is the way it is.

Fast forward six years and I'm sixteen and in high school. My skin has gotten marginally better with years of slathering myself with different types of cream but the scars still remain. And i still want to be a doctor. Which brings me to why I've been absent so much this year. Whenever I'm not doing school work I'm researching different colleges, finding out what I'll have to take in the next two years, only writing sporadically between classes. I don't see that changing anytime soon.

So this journal is to say that no, I've not stopped writing, I'll probably still be writing and posting on here when I'm thirty. But that unlike last year I've been trying so hard to keep all my grades in the 90's, and I'll be doing the same next year and i don't have time to spend hours just sitting and writing - unless it's a essay for english, global etc. The summer however - you won't be rid of me I'll be on here like everyday most likely! This journal is also to say I'll probably be absent from now until June 21st when i take my last regents exam (oh how i hate living in NY. Literally NY and California are the only states to have these exams!).
