I'm having a hard time deciding what I should have done. In drama, it was even strange if you sang. College drama is very different, as well. Where I'm from, it was more popular to work backstage. Non-drama majors were the actors, often. As for working out, swim must be fun, but I think I'd rather just go to the gym and swim on my own accord. I want to be a film actor, so maybe drama was a good route. I know, instead of piano, I could have done drama. I feel like a more interesting person to have done different things growing up and then came to realize my joy for drama. I'm 26, now, though. I'm guessing the community college is serving as a haven for recent high school graduates. I'm working out a lot and trying to get back on my diet. I'm hoping that will get me to be a film actor. I'm sad I didn't take the Miami offer to model, but I was still catching up on sleep. It's too bad because I was 22. So, that was 2008. That's 4 years ago. That would have helped me out. I guess, now, I more want to be just a film actor. I got the Miami offer on MySpace. It's sad to think I'm too old to be a model. They would have helped me move up to become an actor, they said. I was even asked about music, if I knew anyone, but I wasn't ready, myself. A big producer in the area asked me. He was African-American. I also lost contact with a boy who I felt I got on well with, but he never asked me back like other people did when I changed my MySpace and I lost the link to his MySpace. I did ballet kind of just in case but was doing other things on the side. I ended up being told not to take voice in college because I was too shy but still encouraged in ballet. Now, I'm out of ballet, partly because it doesn't serve me well at 26. I still like singing, but I'm not as serious as a pro, I have to admit. I could be, but I've been having rough times. It's hard to tell what's kept me up all night. It's basically a time issue, with the singing. I have time. I guess the thing is I have to focus on certain things. I'm getting thinner, but I don't really look like a model. That's what makes me interesting, though. I have gotten taller, though. I need to lose my double chin and the fat around my stomach and thighs and all over at least some. I pretty much benefited from all my different experiences and managed to also lead a well-balanced life, though I could have done more and not worried about things. In a way, I wish I didn't do any activities, except maybe drama. It's a social activity for high schoolers and even grade schoolers. I did have fun singing in choir. It seems to have lost its luster. Ever since I went to college, things from before didn't seem as serious, though they were deterrents in my life. Ballet is healthy, but sometimes it seems like too much. I did feel better in the adult class but ended up going back with some girls a bit younger. The girls my age left this school. This school had special community activities and seemed like a place where you live to enjoy dance and were rigid but not like a factory. I always felt special to do ballet, but I suppose I should not have. Here's what I wish my schedule was:

Hover the mouse at the bottom center and go to page 318 and look at the bottom left:

I guess this would get me going. I might just do the 1st college, though, just get an AA.
