A friend of mine, who goes by the name of PasoFreak, wrote in her blog today telling her friends a little bit more about her. When I read it I felt like it was something I might want to do. But then I thought about why I don't tell people more about me. What is there that people don't know? I am a nerd. I love reading, writing, learning. I am smart. I've been doing Science Olympiad since seventh grade and I have six state level medals and two national level medals. I have six sisters. My twin sister and I look nothing alike. My absolute favorite thing to do is to hang out with my mom and my sisters. I'm good at math and I like math. I'm not LDS and I don't have a religion. That seems to be the simplest facts about me. Is there more? Yes. I believe there is. Probably even a lot more that you all know about me.
I'm sure there are things you don't know as well, but what are they?
Well, the first I guess might be that I have no idea what I believe in. I don't know what to think and I believe that the ideas of the universe are just way to big to be picked out and deciphered. I spend a lot of my time trying to figure out what I believe. I know a little bit about Christianity but I learned most of it before I was 8 when I went to an LDS church with my parents every Sunday. I know that I can't honestly see myself as ever being part of an organized religion because I feel that when you are part of something like that you should honestly believe every part of it is true and I don't know if there is a religion out there that could sum up everything that I think and feel.
Something that I've only discovered recently, and therefore not many people know about me, is that I've decided that I don't want to be a scientist. I would much rather spend my life learning about people, both past and present, reading, or writing. I would also like to use my ability to understand things easily. I don't know for sure what I'm going to end up doing with my life, but I would really really love to teach English or be a journalist. I don't know if this surprises some of you or not, but I realized last year that I cannot see myself spending my life doing the types of things I do at every Science Olympiad meeting.
Other than that, though? I don't really know. What else is there about me that other people don't know? What is there about me that people want to know? Anything?
Should there be more that I should want you to know about me? I don't know. I have no idea what I should I know about myself. Is there something wrong with that? Do I need to know exactly where I want to go to college right now? Do I need to know where I want to be right after I graduate? What else should I know about myself?
I don't know. Have any ideas?

Hmm... that's interesting that you don't want to go into science as a profession. It IS kind of stressing... after all the Olympiad experience and whatnot.
In my health class, we were talking about stages of life that people go through. The age that we are at is when we are trying to find ourselves; who we really are. We're still trying to establish our identity right now. I thought that was pretty accurate... for me anyways. :)
How do you STILL find time to blog??
I make time. :P I tell myself every few days that I need to write a blog and then I start coming up with ideas for it. :P I don't have time. I don't really have time for anything. But you know how I am... Haha. I procrastinate with important things and I do the really small, trivial stuff first.
How did you get your layout like that?
you should do your next blog on the joys of yearbook last year! Ha ha! ;-D
