Pretending that today is not a day anymore, since it's already 9pm, I've got two days before Geoff and I head for Conway so that I can take my GED tests. There are five tests. It's going to be an all day ordeal. I'm getting really nervous now. I quit my job three weeks ago so I could focus on my studies. Crimson has been very tolerant of my crabbiness and recluse mode. If I'm not locked up in a corner of the apartment, I'm sitting in an alcove at the library. The Librarian asked me if I was sleeping in my car again. Damn her, I didn't know she knew. It's been kind of stressful. I'm actually taking a break tonight because it's been nonstop for almost 21 days.

So I've been sitting here clicking through tumblr and pintrest and the huffington post and I find this article about this kid, Moshe Kai Cavalin. He's 14 years old and about to graduate from UCLA with his second degree. I'm just now getting my GED and this kid has TWO college degrees. It's kind of disheartening. But I guess he was handed a different lot in life that I was, which provided him with opportunities that I could only dream of. He wrote a book, and it's out now. I'm definitely going to make that one of my first window displays if I pass my tests and get my bookstore.

Yeah, that's right, I said MY bookstore. I've been daydreaming about it and drawing designs for it. I think I've settled on a name for it. Well, maybe, I don't know. I'm still daydreaming. I have to finish my tests and PASS first. The rest is all nonsense until that bit is taken care of.

You can do it, you got the drive! If the bookstore is the dream, don't stop for it.

You can't be disheartened by things that aren't the normal standards! That kid is obviously above and beyond most kids his age so it's not fair to compare yourself to that. Normal fourteen year olds are in the ninth grade and still doing like algebra one or something.

Good luck!

Thanks!
