My Goals
So what have I been up to?
Pretty much the same as usual, working on finishing off the high school diploma and working on my creative writing diploma. Recently I've been helping to take care of the aunt after she fell off the pool ladder and hurt her back; thankfully there is nothing broken, just badly bruised. I've finally decided what I want to go to college for, I'm going to get my ECE-Early Childhood Education. I'll need to get my CPR certificate as well as another certificate and then once I get my ECE diploma and try to get in with a daycare and hopefully work my way up to being a teacher. I think that I would like to teach a younger grade, maybe 1-5. I've also still been working on my writing, just posted a new Jasper/Bella story on ff. I've also applied to 3 different places for a job but haven't heard back from any of them yet.
I've been thinking lately, there is 2 things that have been missing off my goals list, a trip to Forks Washington and a trip to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Those are two places that I want to visit because of what they represent; the memories that I have, the people that I've met and the great friends that I got out of it all. I would love to be able to go and see, touch and smell things that I've only read/watched. All I would need to do is save up my money and get a passport. I think that Tiger would be ok on her on for a few days; will know how she gets on soon seeing as how we will be leaving for the cottage in a short while.
Guess I'll just have to wait and see what I can do. Would be nice to be able to go and have pics of those places of my own.

Question
So here's the thing, I'm almost positive that I want to go to college after I get my high school diploma but the thing is what do I want to study? So far I have to options, the first is Law Clerk. It sounds fun but I don't know, I mean there was a time that I wanted to be a lawyer; think its because of all the times I've watched "Law& Order", and this will get me close to being that. The second is getting my diploma in ECE (Early Childhood Education) I've always loved working with children and ever since I read "Anne of Green Gables" I wanted to be a teacher just like Anne.
Here's the thing, the cousin says not to go into teaching because I won't get a job with the board; that's her problem right now, I say I don't have to get a teaching position right away I could always start out in a daycare and work my way up. There are some colleges that offer getting your ECE online and that's great but I know that I need to get out and meet people I can't stay here in my room all my life. I'm afraid in a sense of the world because I've never had much experience with it.
So what do I do? Do I go with something that I've wanted to do since I was a child or do I go with something that I wanted to do but then gave up that dream; law students have to stay in school another 7 years, both of these choices are 2 years and 4 semesters. The Centennial Progress campus offers both law clerk and ECE and from what I understand, its only an hour away give or take. Then there is also Seneca college that offers ECE.
I really want to become a teacher but like I said, there is the cousin telling me not to do it and i'll never find a job but why do something that my heat isn't in it? My heart is actually in writing but there isn't a promise there either that I'll get my book published. There is another part of my brain asking when the fuck I became such a spineless git and listened to what others say? I've taken care of myself for a long time; I mean nothing against mom but I pretty much had to do everything for myself, so I say if I want to become a teacher then why in the fuck don't I go and get my ECE start in a daycare and work my way up from there?
I think I would make a good teacher. I love being around children;hell when I did my co-op placement in HS I didn't want to work in the office I rather had been in the classroom and when the teachers let me sit in was some of the funnest time I had there. When I did the leading to reading programme at the library I had fun teaching them to read and I'm thinking of taking that back up again; though that would mean giving up my Sat with the aunt and uncle but its a sacrifice that I'm willing to take.
You know writing this all out has helped me to chose what I want to go to college for. I want to get my ECE and be on my way to becoming a teacher. I just need to figure out how to get my First Aid and CPR certificates. The cousin will probably try to put me off my plan but I won't let her, this is something that I've wanted to do since I was a kid and by fuck I'm going to go out and do it.

Update on life
So I've starting taking online classes to get my creative writing diploma, I'm 3 credits away from getting my high school diploma; that is if I pass the test for the current course that I'm taking, I'm thinking about going to college and becoming a law clerk but I'm still not sure yet if I want to go for that yet or not. I would much rather do something with teaching but the cousin says not to do this because its hard to get into the school board.
I met with the case worker that I was assigned when I applied for Ontario Works recently and he made me feel so small, like I was in the principal's office. He told me that I'm going to have to continue paying for the courses that I'm taking because they don't see it as a legit thing; or something along those lines. He also told me that because I'm doing something, he doesn't care because he doesn't have to motivate me. The aunt thinks that its stupid that I'm continuing on with my creative writing diploma but like I told her, I already put out money and started doing the work, so why would I want to stop now?
I've got everything figured out; finance wise, so I'm going to keep doing what I'm doing no matter what any one says. I'm doing things that make me happy so I'm going to continue doing the classes that I'm doing and screw everyone else.
This past Sunday, the aunt, uncle, godparents, cousins and I went to the beach and spent the day there, we had a picnic and it was a good time. Got a lot of swimming in, though I do wish that the weather had been warmer. In August we are going away for a week to a cottage and somehow I got roped into sleeping outside in a tent, I don't know how all that came about but whatever, I'll sleep out there,. Least I don't have to worry bout them bickering. I just hope that Amy has the cell that I bought from her cleaned off of her stuff so that I can talk with Christine while I'm in the tent alone.
I still miss mom; that's never going to go away its still weird for me being here, I mean who would have thought that I would be spending this much time with them? We seem to be getting along but of course that all can change in an instant. There doesn't seem to be that many fights between the uncle and I or the aunt and I though I still get blamed for things that I didn't do or did wrong some times but I just shrug that off and tell them to fuck off in my mind.
So that's what's been going on with me recently, nothing too exciting just homework, reading and watching movies/TV and going on on Fri afternoons and Saturday mornings. No job yet but that's ok, I want to be able to put all my attention to my homework. I can't wait to display my hs diploma on my wall and my cw one. I'll be painting my room sometime this month when the aunt and uncle go on the little anniversary getaway for 2 days; I'll be pretty much home alone in the mornings seeing as how the cousin will be at work but that's ok. I won't mind.

Gifs
So haven't posted any gifs in awhile, so I thought that I fix that by posting some new ones I've found. Going to be a mix of things.
