oh... really? wow... interesting...

"So where are you going to college next year, Elaina?"
"Well, I've applied to Seattle University and Gonz-"
"Oh, really? Wow. Yeah, my brother-in-law went there... So have you been accepted?"
"Well, actually, I've been accepted to Seatt-"
"Oh, well, good for you. I'm sure you'll do well. Are you excited?"
"Yeah, I think it-"
"So, what will you be studying?"
"I'm not exactly sure, but I'm thinking maybe business... and maybe advertis-"
"Oh, well, neat!"
... and the droning convo continues.

Ok, I've decided that I need to send out a MEMO to everyone about what I'm doing next year. As a matter of a fact, I think someone should invent an actual "memo" thing; whether a memo-pad, memo-watch, or whatever... Basically, people could type in a short message and it would be sent to everyone efficiently and simply, like:
"TAPERED PANTS ARE OUT OF STYLE,"
or,
"GO TO NOCONDIMENTS.COM FOR A GOOD TIME,"
or for this instance,
"ELAINA IS GOING TO SEATTLE UNIVERSITY NEXT YEAR, SO STOP ASKING HER."

It just gets so irritating constantly being asked what I'm doing by adults that I hardly know. -And especially when its obvious that they don't even truly care and they're going to forget everything I said in about two minutes. Sometimes I just want to tell them that I'm going to Guam to fight a war against wars. Or that I'm going to sail the world with a fisherman named Kaelan that I randomly met and hardly know . Or that I'm going to a COMMUNITY college (HEAVEN FORBID a COMMUNITY college, because that'd mean I'm a failure). Or that I'm going to stick around in Sitka, eat potato chips, update my webpage, and get fat. Or maybe, just that I don't even know, and it doesn't even matter because I'm only 18 years old, and everything is going to be okay... Regardless.

But for now, the memo is that I've been accepted to Seattle University and I'm pretty sure that I'm going to go there and hopefully study business and play a little bit of softball.
