September 30, 2008 -Aspirations-

I love the detail you see here, all the different blades of grass and different plants surrounding the leaf, the little drops of water standing out against the yellow surface. I liked the contrast of the yellow leaf against the still green grass, like summer and autumn colliding into each other. Image quality seems consistently better from my first picture post thus far.
I bought the '09 Writer's Market today. Together with an ACT study book, a Conn Iggulden novel about Genghis Khan, and a book titled How to Read Novels Like a Professor, the purchase put me out eighty bucks. Yeah. I think I might take the other two back, I need the Writer's Market and the ACT study guide, but I need money more than I need to learn about Genghis Khan or how to read. I think I've got the reading down anyway.
So, studying for the ACT. I've decided I'm going to go to four year college after all. Which means taking the ACT of course, which I never did in High school, mainly because I'm an idiot. I'm not really worried about the test, the reason I bought the book was for the math section. I don't do so well in that particular study area.
What I'm undertaking here is a good eight years of school, probably more. I'm going to be a Veterinarian, something I've wanted to do since I was just a little girl, but something I never really thought was feasible, due to money and my not so fantastic grades. I'm starting small though, and I'll get there eventually. God that is so much time though... eight years. And I might specialize in exotic animals like lions and tigers and bears and whatnot, I'd like to work as a veterinarian in a zoo. I am going to owe so much money at the end of all this.
