My names Kelly and I'm from America. I live in Russia as an expat, and, well, lots of interesting things happen to me. This blog is supposed to be about Pop culture, but really, its me trying to understand what's going on in this world where things our constantly changing and crazy ideas are being let loose. In my mind, the world is Wonderland, and I'm Alice.

High School

Again, I am sooooo sorry that I haven't posted in forever. High school is a bit harder than I expected... Going from middle school to high school is like a big slap in the face. And the worst part is that my school is trying to "prepare" us for college before any of us are ready to even think about that. During the first week of school, our college counselor gave us a speech about our "plan". What is the plan? It's basically everything that we need to do this year to make sure that we are prepared to apply to university in two years. It needs to include:
  1. What summer courses/volunteer programs/summer jobs we want to get into or do
  2. What we want to study in university
  3. What University we want to go to or at least what countries we are going to apply in
  4. What we need to do to make sure that we are able to study that subject and get into that university
Now, this list of course is only supposed to be mental, but I wouldn't be surprised if our ticket out of school for the summer was a piece of paper with exactly those things on it. Well it's Autumn break now, so I should be happier the next time I post.
