A welcoming thanks giving-
Yesterday, me and my friend Kai were discussing whether or not she could and/or should, spend thanksgiving with my aunt, my mom and I. I don't have a problem, my mom currently doesn't like her, and my aunt likes none of my friend but like 5 or something. But after our argument last night, I don't think it's going to happen.Today is the last day of school before Thanksgiving. We actually should of got out on Friday, but this school system's ridiculous like that. Anyhow, yesterday was suppose to be my presentation for American Lit, but we didn't go to class because of a 3 hour long unimportant test; one that has saved me so far.
Um.. I would like to take this time to talk about more serious issues now.
I have a BIG, HUGE, RIDICULOUS dilemma on my hands. x/ One that involves this blog entry; 2 weeks Japan vacation. I'm sorry, I would appreciate it if you would read that first, if you don't know about it. Okay, on with it. I don't know if I should go to Japan cutting my Junior term short, or stay here and continue my Junior term.
Reasons of support & the disadvantages-
WHY GO TO JAPAN?:
- I've been wanting to go out of the country and I get to do so sooner than I thought and no one has a problem with it!
- It's also the place I've been wanting to go to for a long time.
- I get to experience being in a new environment and see new things in a totally different part of the world.
- I get to see lots of Asians xD Which is awesome because I get to see a lot of the fashion favorites I've been gawking over up close! x]
- I get to stay 2 weeks away from everyone I know. That's great for career purposes and living experience.
- I get to represent myself as an American to Japan. Lol.. it sounds stupid, like I could care less about the US, but I mean like, "And here's Portia from the US!" Is just awesome x) And plus, I'm helping my school system for being apart of the Friendship Force and going to Japan. Like I'm representing that. And also doing my college rep some good :3
- I get to meet people and stay with them and experiencing college dorm life with roommates x]
- And maybe more...
DISADVANTAGES:
- I'll never go to any graduations other than my own, in high school.
- I won't get to see my friends graduate. Most of my friends are Seniors, not Juniors. And even if most of them ARE, I still might not see my friends in any grade level because next year the branch school buildings are being built and they're moving the seniors out to other schools in the district. Lord knows what the hell will happen and who I end up with x/ If these people are going to be done, I intend to see it all the way through. The end of the year is always the best too.
- If the school is changing and my last year I'll be moved to another school.. I want to be there when it happens. I want to be there to get whatever is going on. Who wants to leave the school year early and come back to confusing and bothersome issues you don't have insights on? And it's my senior year.. I need everything I can get, it's important, and knowing my school, they'd screw me over. I don't trust them. I don't have time to be doing all kinds of crap just to get settled.
- and so on..
So yeah, kinda stuck between them both.. and I have to make up my mind soon. x(
