Well today I attended the last class of high school I'll ever have to take. Pretty nice but don't get my diploma for a week. Now to be neck deep in college classes in the fall. Oh well, at least I'll have some independence. High school, the school aspect of it, is just shit.

Congrats amat. Good luck in college, do you have a major selected?

Holy shit, I just noticed I'm over 2,000 posts now. The last 1,000 went way faster than the first 1,000.
No need to rep me or anything, I just felt like announcing it

Thanks. High school was ok, I realize that nothing is like high school but really how great is it? Before this semester's fairly light schedule I would just leave at lunch anyways. All the friends I have I'm retaining and most everyone in the school is probably going where I am anyways.

I'm going to Santa Rosa Junior College, not exactly glamorous in title but it's one of the better junior colleges in the country and that's what most people are doing. After 2 years hopefully I can transfer to somewhere like Oregon (got accepted already so shouldn't be to much of a problem in 2 years) but so much can change between now and then. I'm majoring in journalism.

Also, I've been on 7500 posts forever. Not really but it seems that way, I can't believe I don't have 10,000 posts, really.

I hated high-school. I wasn't picked on or anything like that, but I couldn't stand all the rules etc. Might have had something to do with going to a private school... I've never understood people who view high-school as the pinnacle of their existence. That seems sad to me. Though it is true that you'll never be as unfettered and as free of responsibility and obligation as you were in high school, its more than a fair trade-off IMO.
Don't feel bad about going to a Jr College, I recently finished 2 years at a highly regarded community college because I spent most of high school getting laid and high instead of doing homework. Nothing wrong with a Jr. College, you'll save a ton of money and most likely will make a lot of contacts by having smaller classes and thus a much more personal relationship with your profs. That made a huge difference for me, I'm probably better off for going to college first instead of right to University. Many of the opportunities I have are because of those relationships with my profs. Anyone can get good grades, but good contacts/relationships create a great deal of opportunity.

Good luck with the journalism, are you looking to specialize in sports/boxing or just get a general degree and see where it takes you?

[amat]

Definitely looking to be a sports journalist. I had an internship last fall where I worked in the newsrooms and that's great but I would much rather just do work from the road. I'll be in school a while, 4 years and then probably a graduate program of some sort after that so it's nice to have 2 years here of jc work where I'll be able to take it a little easier and not have to move out on my own quite yet.

I had fun in high school actually, mainly senior year.
