I remember I couldn't wait for college too, and after three years I want out so bad. Although, I much prefer being in college than in high school. I guess it's human nature to just want to get on with your life.
I love the game-play and the story line for Kingdom Hearts. I think where they lack is that sometimes they follow too closely to the disney movies story line, and that can make the game boring since you've seen most of those disney movies prior, and it's a bit of a wait to the game specific story line. While I love those games, I know a lot of people who don't. Get the DS and be friends with me!
The last change MS made that I was on for was that they completely changed NLC. So, no more JQ to get to windraidens or CWK, no BF or HH, no clock tower, and the main map of NLC is really ugly looking. Something about aliens, iunno. And they added something called nebulites which can add additional stats to your weapon. It's dumb and confusing.
Vet tech or vet assistant! If Snookie can get a degree as a vet assistant Angie, you totes could too, you're way smarter than her. I hope you keep art as a hobby though! I think something in biology could get you into doing research with animals?
