The Barrow Boy

I'll (most likely) be off to North Carolina for a new environment, a new starting point of sorts. I've always wanted to travel the world, but I guess I'll have to put that plan/dream on hold. It's possible to explore without being physically away, no? I'm quite excited about college.

And, okay, I don't get any bonus points--I googled. Beautiful lyrics though! I used to listen to one of their songs quite a bit, so it's a nice re-discovery, I suppose. Thank you!

What about the rest of you guys? Plans, dreams, adventures?

Not too hard:

"Would I could afford to buy my love a fine gown
Made of gold and silk Arabian thread
But I am dead and gone and lying in a church ground
But still I push my barrow all the day
Still I push my barrow all the day"

Breaking the Trend

Sort of breaking the trend, but I don't think I know anyone in this blog. So, I'd like to ask (now that high school is approaching the end for many of us) what everyone's post-high school plans are.

How many people are going to college? Anyone taking a gap year? Is anyone applying to out of state schools or maybe international schools? Assuming a large number of California residents here, how many UCs are you applying to? What is the post-high school fantasy that you only dream about?

(Personally, I would like to tour the world for things like Doctor Who film sites or Korean boy bands. I will settle for going to an in-state college, though)

So yes, it's a bit personal to start off with sharing our plans for the future, but it'd be nice if we were all heading towards the same general direction.

And to keep in theme:

"But I miss reaching for the lasers,
the sound of the beat is eight clicks away,
classes, school behavior.
sweating the night out of the sky,
learning to laugh and not ask why."

(Bonus points if you guess the band/song without resorting to Google)
