Somehow I don't think three years of highschool is going to cut it. Considering my family's current financial state, however, I don't really think there's a way around it. As it is, I have migraine's frequently enough that I have to go to a school that will make allowances for it, and that school is fairly expensive.

I can get a diploma by the end of next year. It's going to take work, though. I'll have to take around two or three classes independently. Considering the rigidity of the schedules at that school, those classes will in all probability be English Lit. and Civics. If I want Physics, I'll have to do it on my own. I may have to do without it, but I won't need that credit to graduate. I'll probably have to drop one of my electives, most likely Drafting, so that I can have an extra study hall to get all these classes done. I can take summer school to finish up whatever's left over at the end of the school year, in case I can't complete it all in one go.

Hopefully I'll be able to change my schedule so that I can have class time in the courses I'll most enjoy and take the others on my own. I'd like to actually be in class for Civics, but as I recall, that class is in the same period as Algebra 2, and I need to be in class for Algebra 2. (I've done math independently before. It's not pretty.) Also, it'd be nice to do Physics instead of Chemistry. Don't think that's going to work out.

Still none of this seems like enough. I wanted more. It's all so fast. I was hoping to get some extra curricular activities going to put on a College application, but I don't see how I'm going to fit that in now. I was hoping to volunteer at the Children's Museum downtown on the weekends, but I'm beginning to think I should be working for money during that time, instead. Maybe I can help pay for another year of highschool. Maybe I can get some kind of scholarship. My grades are certainly good enough. The lowest test score I got all year was something like an 89.

I don't know. I can do it. I know I can. I have the drive to. But I'm going to miss so much. I have to keep myself from getting overwhelmed. I have to take it easy. Take my time. Something will turn up so I don't have to do this. Or, if not, I'll get something out of it. Whatever the case, I'm sure everything will turn out for the better.
