Water; Winter; Future

Last night
after i accidently hung up on you,
and went on a heroic journey to get a glass of water,
you said youd call me back after you made food.
Lo and behold, two minutes later,
"Text me. I'm going to make grilled cheese and I want your company in some form =P"
Well.
Looky there.



Has it been a good winter for everyone?
I think I've enjoyed it.
I can sense it coming to an end.
Last night it snowed. I went for a walk. I intended to take pictures, so I brought my camera. My hands were too cold though, so I never ended up doing so.
Trying to cross the tracks, and the wide area of just snowy field that seperates it from the road, I fell down.
Opps.
It was cold. Very cold. I just lay there on my back. "Snow is quite comfortable, really." I said to myself.
A car drove by. I waved at it, still on my back.
I think a few seconds.
Then make a snow angel.
It was lovely.
When was the last time you made a snow angel?

Although, once I was done, I realized I lost my phone.
Back into the snow bank I go, digging until i find it.


I don't know what I want to do in life. (Emma your posts are mirroring mine! Or vis versa)
WHY do they make us decide what we want to do with the rest of our lives at the age of 16?! Why?
I'm trying to pick my courses out for grade 12, all the time keeping in mind what will get me into university.
There isn't even enough room in my timetable for everything I want/need.
I wanted : All four englishs, world issues, western civ, phych, philosiphy, choir, drama, bio, gym, and journalism/newspaper.
What am I probably ending up with? Two englishs, philos, choir, drama, bio, gym.

I'm YOUNG! How can I possibly know what I want to do in life?! I want everything! That's the curse of youth, right?
I want it all.
I'm scared. How can they expect me to know exactly what I want to do for the rest of my life?! It's not fair! I want to cook, and sing, and act, and write, and teach, and study politics, history, pychology, philosiphy! I want to TRAVEL! I want to learn to speak Italian better! I want to learn to speak arabic beyond the two words I know!
How can we know what we want, before we are even legal adults, huh? How is THAT fair?

I'm not allowed to vote, but I MUST know EXACTLY what I want?
Really, I want to take a year off. Just one year.
One year to travel and get a taste of life. One little year to TRY to get to know myself, how I am, what I want.
