Right now I feel like I'm going through some struggles, both personal, in school and with my activities. I don't feel like I have the strength and fearlessness I used to have - and it's scaring me. Nothing seems to go right.  I'm also gonna start applying to college soon, which is awesome (!), but its hard to search for colleges (Which is the best college for me? Will I afford it? Where will I have the time of my life? What should I really study - something general or something I find fun?) and its really making me question myself: What are my goals in life? (except moving to the states and marry an american ;P) Will I get along in college? AM I REALLY READY FOR THIS?

I've recently (this term) started to take latin. It's a lot of fun and you learn a lot from the philosophy of latin times. One sentence, or saying, that really stuck with me is "Per Aspera Ad Astra" which roughly means "Through the hard times to the stars". And that is really my motto now! If you work hard, you will get to where you want to be. Lovely saying isn't it? If I would get a tattoo tomorrow, I would get that! (no worries, im not going to get a tattoo tomorrow dad..)

This has to be my first semi-depressing blog update, but it had to be written.
