Okay, regarding my deviantART account, I'm going to be using ~BRRFphotography more. As you can see, I ADORE photography. I own Black Rose & Radio Fire Photography (BR&RF Photography for short). Please watch and pay attention to that account more. I recently uploaded 175+ photos within the past few days to that account.
Thank you for all the support.

Due to the fact that I'm seriously preparing for SAT/ACT exams, I bought the new-ish Newsweek magazine. It's the "How to Get Into College 2009" edition. Reading manga is actually good for preparing for the SAT/ACT exams! I've already have the three they mentioned in the article on my "to buy" list. These all happen to be produced in a conjunction of Kaplan and TOKYOPOP.
1. Psy-Comm Volume Volume 1 (SAT/ACT Vocabulary Building Manga)
2. Van Von Hunter Volume 1 (SAT/ACT Vocabulary Building Manga)
3. Warcraft: The Sunwell Trilogy Volume 1 (SAT/ACT Vocabulary Building Manga)

I want a list of what to read. I repeatedly hear about how I should read Death Note, which I'll probably read. I need more though - MORE MANGA. List your favorites :]

I don't know whether or not I have an interest in architecture or if I'm really doing it for money. I do like design and such, but I don't know. I'm more artistic than anything. That's why I could never be an engineer. I couldn't even try to be. Architecture's more appealing, but I still think about becoming a graphic designer or a photographer or something else that's more artistic or creative. I'm going to have multiple jobs of course. It's just a matter of what's going to be a side job and what's my main job.

I have a goal of MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and RISD (Rhode Island School of Design). Those are my dream colleges. Chances of actually attending there are pretty low. It's more of a matter of finances than grade point averages. I have at THE VERY LEAST a 3.6, but I don't really know what it is. I used to have a 3.965. that was my grade point average last school year. Those were the days. The Newsweek magazine suggested Columbia University, Cooper Union, and Princeton University for architecture. I don't care that they don't match my goals. Princeton is probably going to be added to my goal, however.

I need scholarships so badly. I'm starting to look a lot of them up, just to find out that I'm a little too late to enter. It gets so annoying. I'm going go enter a few though. The chances of me being chosen, however, aren't very likely.
I'm starting to get really worried about college. It's so close, but just not in my reach. It's not close enough for me to taste, to touch. I can't quite feel it. My grades just aren't that great. It's starting to depress me. I'm starting to ask help from the "smartest" and best students in my classes. It would be amazing if deviantART had contests offering scholarships. I mean, that would be AMAZING. Due to the fact that one could one use a deviantART account to be a portfolio, one could also receive scholarships. I realize that it would only help high school and college students, but still. It's a pretty nice idea. I realize that the contests are run by members mostly. It was just a nice idea that most likely won't happen.

I don't feel like talking more about my future university life anymore.
THE END.
