So, where'd you want to get to in the world? Careers, aims, stuff you want to do with your life.... Making lots of lovely money? Becoming an outcast and walking the earth like Cain from Kungfu?
Tell us Charrrllliiieeee*. ^_^

[wonders]Why Cain from Kungfu? Why not Cain from the Bible?[/wonders]
My plan is to graduate, get a graduate degree, move to Israel and teach English. Haven't thought much beyond that, as it entails enough troubles already. I'd like to do some editing, since I find that interesting and fun.
What I wish I could do, what I dream about, what I regret the absence of, is singing. Opera. Professional. I wish I could follow that dream, but it's not feasible at the moment. And anything less is just not satisfying. So I left that behind, and will continue on my current path. Maybe in the future I'll be able to follow my dream... but not now. And that's rather painful.

My dream is to be a professional author. I would spend my time between traveling to see places I could record in my novels, and taking pictures of all these things. Someday, eventually, I want to write a series that bridges several genres of writing...
Back in reality, I'll probably end up being a teacher. I think part of "growing up" is realizing that dreams are, in fact, just dreams. That sometimes we have to sacrifice them for a while to make them a reality. I know of more authors in their 40's than in their 20's, for example.
I also intend to purchase and restore a 1980's Pontiac Firebird. ^_^; Sort of an unusual car to love, but it is what it is.

Helping people, and getting people to think and act a little differently. That's what I want to do with my life. I don't know if I can have any kind of meaningful impact on the world, but that's what I'd like.
On the personal level, I'd like to marry, raise a family, pursue my education further, become a teacher, and a few other common things. My crazy dreams include proving/disproving all sorts of mathematical/computer science theorems, or solving long-standing physics problems.

Hmm, the crazier, less realistic things I'd like to do are as follows: become a professional writer, travel the world - including Antarctica, start and run an orphanage somewhere in the world (I'd most likely end up somewhere in Latin America), translate the Bible, get on a rocket ship and go into space, start a non-profit organization, reforming something or another, and writing music.
My more practical aspirations include writing on the side, getting published, getting a degree in English and Psychology, falling madly in love, getting married and having a lot of kids, seeing the northern lights, conquering my fear of heights so I can one day attempt hang-gliding, picking flute back up and actually practicing so that I can join the worship band at my church, visiting Israel, seeing as much of the world as possible, and living as full a life as I possibly can.

Oh dreams.
Here they are. Some much more serious than others, but all of them I want to do very badly and I will before I die. Yup.
I want go down to the salt lake area sometime and get lost on the bus system down there for a day.
I want to ride on a train. A real one.
I want to learn to fly a plane.
I want to sky dive.
I want to hand glide.
I want to get one of those squirrel suits and try that out.
I want to learn to swim properly.
I want to publish a book of poetry.
I want to write a song with my guitar.
I want to spend an entire day in a book store.
I want paint on a giant canvas that in the end, I rival the canvas for paint.
I want to temple hop one day and hit as many temples as I can in one day.
I want to someday, far in the future, have me a family, mainly so I can torture my children and make them wear hideously cute things.
I want to learn as many languages as I can. Working on learning Japanese right now and when my roommate comes back from China we're gonna continue with the Swedish.
I want to act in a movie, just a small part though. An extra, or have a really cool name in the credits as "Cashier."
I want to go sledding down old main hill in my laundry basket.
I want to go ice blocking.
I want to cliff jump.
I want to learn to rock climb and to mountain bike and to white water raft.
I want to serve a mission.
I want to design my own clothes and have my mother teach me to sew so I can put it all together.
I want to be as good of a cook as my mother.
I want to have her strength. That lady has been through a ton and she still continues on. Seriously, she could take the cake for a crappy life and she still manages to make the best of it. Hero? Yes.
I want to design my own house. I did actually in jr. high in a drafting class. Took first place in three classes for my design. I love drafting and designing buildings.
I want to meet Stan Lee.
I want to go back to Mexico and haggle.
I want to buy a better car and do a road trip.
I want to roadtrip on a motorcycle.
I want to perform surgery. Heart surgery. Talk about a rush.
I want to live on a roof for a few days. I lasted only a day last summer on my roof. It got too hot.
I want to walk across the U.S. Maybe hitchhike some of the way, but for the most part, I wanna walk it.
I also want to finish building the tree house me and my brothers started building in my willow tree.
I want a song written about me... and not the cheese song my roommate and I wrote last year, or the other song we oh so cleverly titled, "boys suck."
And one of my number one biggest dreams is to drive and MAYBE own an Aston Martin Vanquish.
I can't remember....oh *le sigh*

Wow, that's a lot of stuff! I would never remember that much if I tried.
My goal is to finish school, find a job and get my own house (or apartment).
A smaller but something I've been dreaming for a while is to actually make a comic. Buuuuut....it's never happened yet. Well not a series anyway.

I too would like to be a published author, I'd really like to make a career of it, but if that doesn't pan out I want to get a degree in Classical Studies and I'd like to do something Classics related, identifying pottery and sculpture or something along those lines.
Amongst other things I'd also like to:
Scuba dive with sharks, dolphins and whales in the wild (not all at the same time.)
Go to Egypt.
Finally get over that pesky fear of public speaking.
A few people have said they'd like to have families, I'm not sure about that, maybe one day.

And all you aspiring authors can send your stories to me for editing! ^_____^
Things I look forward to in my life, that I anticipate occuring rather than dreaming about, are moving to Israel, meeting my soulmate, building a family, welcoming my existing family to Israel with me.
Small things, but I can be satisfied that I know they'll happen, and I'll accomplish what I set out to do.
Another thing I yearn for with my whole being is to see the third Temple in Jerusalem.
I tend not to have too many whimsical dreams, since its rather painful when they don't happen.

This is more chronological order than priority.
I want to be a professional singer. Musical preferred, followed quickly by (tying) opera and plain singing, as in making albums.
That's the one I'm the most focused on at the moment, with regular choir, two honor choirs, private voice lessons, and working in my spare time.
After that, I'd like to be sure I always have enough money to live. (This is second only because I am not yet living on my own.) Not necessarily comfortably, but not homeless and not hungry. *mind skips to
Gone With the Wind
for a moment*
I want someone whom I can always trust to be there for me when I need it. Soulmate, a truly close best friend, I'm not sure, but I want at least one person like that.
I'd like to get over my paranoia of someone stealing my ideas and then me getting accused of copying so that I can post some of my writing online.
And, on a slightly less serious note, I want to own a turtle or tortoise. I think they're cute. For those of you about to ask (because there's always one), Why do you think [puppies/kittens/baby penguins/etc. delete appropriate] are cute?

I want to inspire, like those who inspired me.
I will be mediocre and none of these, but I will always dream of what I want to be.

I just want to be someone I can be proud of. Instill some features of myelf that I see in other people I admire. Selflessness, fearlessness, standing up in what I believe in, getting stuff on my to do list done! Also I want to be more truthful. I want there to be a day when I have nothing to hide about myself. Well, technically not nothing, well nothing I'd be ashamed of admitting. Maybe an example: "Did you finish your homework today?" "Yes mom! Eight pages!" And I'd mean it.
And I think I'll start from where I'm at. Which is...procrastinating on homework, yet again! I need more drive to do it.

Thinking is not involved. You simply see a turtle, or a bat, or a skink, and all your higher functions shut down in favour of squee.
As to the future... we don't know. Never have known. We're much more live-in-the-moment. The question "where do you see yourself in five years?" is a major obstable in interviews... and if we predict based off past behaviour, then sooner or later we're going to say or do something incredibly stupid and then boom. But somehow "a shallow grave" isn't the answer the interviewers actually want to hear...

Forge new memories among fiery red rock and embrace your most adventurous side in Utah's national parks — whether that side likes to explore new terrain on a short nature hike, pedal a canyon rim, or navigate a slot canyon. Curious about Arches National Park or Moab, Utah? Seen pictures of Zion National Park? It's time to satisfy that curiosity.
Utah's five spectacular national parks stretch across the southern half of the state and can be experienced individually, or as part of one epic vacation to Utah. Each park offers the traveler unique, world-class scenic vistas and geological phenomena. In fact, Utah's national parks feature some of the most astonishing landscapes in the world.
It is difficult to capture the breadth of Utah's Mighty 5® national parks in a few short sentences, let alone once you factor in Utah's seven national monuments, two national recreation areas and the Golden Spike National Historic Site. This one-sheet offers a glimpse of it all, or read on to learn a little about all five national parks, then get to know each park in greater detail.
Get InspiredIt is not every day you can plan to experience five of America's greatest national parks in a single, unforgettable vacation to Utah. Today must be pretty special. Those parks are The Mighty 5® national parks: Arches, Bryce, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef and Zion. What does it mean to experience Utah's Mighty 5® national parks? Experiencing is hiking, river rafting, biking, picnicking, walking, mule riding, exploring, climbing and star-gazing. Seeing is experiencing: It means feeling the warmth of the sunrise amid Canyonlands' towering depths, then racing the setting sun to witness it breach the horizon through an impossibly delicate rock bow in Arches National Park. It means finding yourself nose-to-nose with ancient petroglyphs in Capitol Reef National Park, then being absorbed by the night as you lie beneath a meteor shower, streaking across the Milky Way. One day you're gazing down from 9,000 feet at coral-colored rock hoodoos in Bryce Canyon National Park and wondering how nature summoned such impossible hues? The next day you're hiking in a river, craning your neck up steep canyon walls in Zion, and realizing you exist at the outermost cusp of an awesome geologic timeline. With so many unique national parks, there's more than one way to visit Utah. Find your way in one of our itineraries at or call us at 1-800-200-1160 for help building the perfect vacation. |
Bryce Canyon's trademark towers called "hoodoos" beckon photographers to all year long, who hope to catch the park's one-of-a-kind geology in the perfect light. Seeing and hiking Bryce Canyon is a bucket-list destination you won't want to miss.
Capitol Reef, in the south central region, features the magnificent Waterpocket Fold, a 100-mile long wrinkle in the earth's crust called a monocline. Capitol Reef also showcases some of Utah's most impressive arches, domes, scenic byways, jaw-dropping cliffs and impeccable night skies.
Residing toward the eastern edge of the state, Canyonlands National Park is the largest of the five Utah parks. The convergence of the powerful Colorado and Green rivers, combined with millions of years of uplift and erosion, have created this giant expanse of impossibly epic views, excellent backcountry trails and countless geological anomalies.
Finally, Arches National Park and its 2,000 sandstone spans, welcomes visitors with its magical landscape. Hike to the world-famous Delicate Arch, or explore the park's many other mind-blowing nooks and crannies.

The Graduate Certificate in Human Rights, operated in conjunction with the UConn Human Rights Institute and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS), enables law students and CLAS graduate students to pursue a concentration in the burgeoning interdisciplinary field of international human rights. To be eligible for this certificate, students must make formal application to, and be accepted in, the program. Courses may be taken at the School of Law and on the Storrs campus. Relevant courses taken abroad while pursuing a J.D. at the Law School may be counted toward satisfaction of this certificate subject to the approval of the law school's director of the certificate program and the associate dean of academic affairs.

Elective courses allow students to branch out into the various subfields of human rights such as indigenous and cultural rights, economic rights, human rights in Latin America and Europe and post-conflict justice. Certificate courses do not require pre-requisites, except for Advanced Constitutional Law as indicated.
Law School students should apply for the certificate no later than the 10th day of the semester in which they are graduating. J.D. students are encouraged to apply in their second year to facilitate course planning and communication about human rights programming and professional opportunities. LL.M. students are encouraged to apply in their first semester for purposes of planning their LL.M degree.
Forms and instructions for applying to the certificate program are available on the UConn Human Rights Certificate website.

I think the biggest mistake I ever made was not taking my blogs seriously. I would put one up and get bored and take it down. I loved designing the blog and getting it set up, but I would lose interest after a few posts and move on to something else.
I am much more grounded now, but I look back over the past 6 years or so and I see opportunities that I wasted by not sticking it out with my blogs. I have since found my passions and I love blogging about them, but it was a hard road of trial and error and learning to be disciplined.
My ongoing biggest mistake is getting too excited about something and then watching reality take place. We hosted a giveaway day, where all day long we had planned flash giveaways and freebies for our readers. Reality hit hard that we did not have a lot of real readers when only a few of our giveaways got any entries. I worked so hard on sponsorships and promotion and the end result was heartbreaking.
Now that our readership has grown, I have decided to try again with another event where I have sponsors lined up to giveaway a lot of birthday related products and all of them are working moms. If other bloggers would like to help me post these giveaways I have paid link opportunities (this is just so we can all participate in a cash giveaway), but I also have free link opportunities. Please go here for more details: http://busymomonthego.com/register-today-for-the-1st-birthday-bash-...
Or e-mail me at email@example.com - Thanks, Jaime
I think that was a great idea, lol.

My biggest mistake: Jokingly offering up my mother-in-law as a giveaway. OK, I was being passive-aggressive. I didn't think she'd find out. But my sister-in-law told her and she was ticked. Worse part: Now I'll never be able to give her away on my blog.
You, me and everyone else in blogosphere is kicking themselves for not starting sooner. I've been thinking about a blog for two years. Just launched it last month. Don't ask me what took so long, fear of the unknown I guess.
Gina Baker said:
I should have started 4 years ago when I first heard of http://dooce.com! Oh well, I am here now. :)
Probably, quite a few. But, I'm going to focus on the positive!
Definitely not editing well enough on occasion. Sometimes I try to post too quickly and even though I always proofread, skimming just doesn't do!
I've seen a couple of others mention this same thing already but I learned that building your life's work (or business) on someone else's site (like Blogger, Squidoo, etc) won't work in the long run. Own your own domain and your own hosting package. Use those others for throwaway ideas and spin-off tests.
Treating it as a hobby!
I actually have a post that I have long wished I wouldn't have done but also am glad I did. I have toyed with taking it down but have not and will not. I have toyed with changing it but again have not and will not. It started out as a simple idea, someone asked me a question in an interview and I decided to expand on that question, BIG MISTAKE. I still get hate mail for that post and people missed the point of it, prehaps I should have explained it better. Basically I was a snob in high school and that was the question, what were you like I had no idea it would cause a virtual firestorm. Ouch, lesson learned.
I had a tag "girl fight" which google thought was offensive. It was an innocent mistake
I wouldn't have told my (ex) Mother in Law. She is constantly stalks it and tells everyone, everything.While I know that it's a "public" blog it still bothers me that she doesn't have anything better to do haha!
i am having such a hard time learning blogger. i think i may look into wordpress

Endocrine side effects of topical corticosteroids are rare. Glucose intolerance and hyperglycemia may be induced by corticosteroids. These drugs can rarely suppress the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. This suppression is more likely when higher potency topical steroids are used over extensive areas and when occlusive dressings are used.[Ref]
Local adverse effects of hydrocortisone application may commonly include burning, itching, or irritation, especially if applied to denuded skin or with occlusive dressings. Long-term use of topical corticosteroids may result in skin atrophy and thinning, and the development of striae, telangiectasia, subcutaneous hemorrhage, and easy bruising and bleeding. Allergic contact dermatitis is occasionally reported.[Ref]
Skin on the face, axillae, and groin appear to be most susceptible to the adverse, long-term effects of topical steroids.
Topical corticosteroid use may inhibit local immune response rendering the skin more susceptible to infections. Folliculitis has occasionally been reported.
Perioral dermatitis or rosacea-like dermatitis has occurred in patients treated with potent topical corticosteroids who are of seborrheic skin type. This condition may flare temporarily upon discontinuation of topical steroids, prompting patients to continue their use. If topical corticosteroids are discontinued, this flare and the initial dermatitis generally resolves over a few weeks.[Ref]
Gastrointestinal side effects of rectally administered hydrocortisone include diarrhea, cramps, flatulence, rectal irritation, and rectal bleeding.[Ref]
Musculoskeletal side effects from rectal administration may include muscle weakness, steroid myopathy, loss of muscle mass, osteoporosis, vertebral compression fractures, aseptic necrosis of femoral and humeral heads, and pathologic fracture of long bones.[Ref]

This is the second time I've purchased these mats for my garage. I keep adding to them. I have a studio in part of my garage, and I put the mats down and a carpet on top of them. Not only do they insulate but they help relieve the fatigue from standing all day. I gave a four star rating instead of five because the borders are useless. They don't lay flat and some of them don't fit the mats at all. The manufacturer could leave the edges out and put in a couple more mats, which would be more helpful, I just threw the edges away.
We installed these into our basement as a play area--holds up well. Couple tips to get the most out of these mats is to use either a thin grip pad underneath, or slip under the wall/floor joints to prevent slipping. We did the latter--they slide under the gap between the sheet rock and our basement floor with the help of a screwdriver to push them through--works great and no sliding panels. Another user said to cut the extra panels to use as end pieces--we did this as well--worked great. Held up well enough so far--all in all a good solution.
we ordered these to set up a small home gym area in our basement. while they are very easy to put together, they don't really stay together very well when exposed to impact movement like aerobics or floor work. Also, they are not very thick so they do not provide much support on top of a concrete floor. Maybe with indoor/outdoor carpet underneath it would be more suitable.
The price for this item is not bad, I will say it is adequate. The bad thing about this product is the lack of borders to complete the mat. The borders are not available for purchase as a separate item either; therefore takes away the presentation of the product.
The comfort of these beauties help with pressure produced by years of outdoor labor. These pieces can be put together making various size configurations, so can be used as a runner for a work table as well or padding for standing at a work station. It can be taken apart and reconfigured in another area, at another time for another purpose. I am very happy with my purchase.
Easy to put together. Took only a couple of minutes. I'm using them on my cement floor. They are providing an amazing cushion for me. I am going to order some more for another room.
Flimsy gray foam stuff not heavy and won't stay put for simple walking around the garage. I have no idea what these could be used for. More of a safety hazard than something to create a cushion sturdy workspace. Going back.
I'm not sure where one could use this. We have kiddie play mats that have a better surface and lock together. We tried exercise on them and the immediately separated and are slippery. I'd maybe put them under a workshop area...but I'm not sure about that either. Would not buy and will try to return.
I recently decided to do a home gym, my apartment needed some kind of flooring to protect the hardwood. These are fantastic, YES the other reviewers are correct the edges they provide do not have the perfect shapes needed, its nothing to worry about! Get a pair of scissors and cut the edge piece to fit. Also overstock has for sale the edges alone. I've ordered two of these sets so far as I just keep thinking of uses. the next set are going in the unfinished basement to use by the washer/dryer. Another great overstock find.

January seems to be the month that places emphasis on losing weight, eating healthy and ditching bad habits. So how about in February we add finding a positive attitude? According to the Special K study "Positivity and Weight Management: A Look at the Gains": 9 out of 10 women who think positively about weight management reported either losing weight or maintaining their weight in the past year, compared to only about half of women with a negative approach.
So why not think your way into those skinny jeans? Renee Engeln, PhD, psychologist and body image researcher at Northwestern University, is "weighing in" on the study findings and has provided some useful tips.
What has your research taught you that you would want to share with your closest girlfriends?
I tell my girlfriends and the young women I work with is that it's time to stop the 'fat talk' and take a new perspective on our bodies. Fat talk doesn't just affect how you and other people feel, it can actually sabotage attempts to stay at a healthy weight. I've been consulting with Special K on a research project that shows women who take a positive approach to weight management were more likely to report maintaining or losing weight over the past year. These same women were more likely to appreciate their bodies for what they can do, less likely to engage in fat talk and more likely to stop other women from engaging in fat talk.
What are a few steps you have to offer towards getting away from body image talk and into a more positive mindset?
Replace talk about how your body looks with talk about how your body feels and what it can do for you. Take small steps to appreciate what you get from your body. "These are the legs that walk me around my office every day, helping me to do my job." "These are the arms that hug my loved ones." Focus on health over size or a number on the scale. Instead of, "I need to lose 10 pounds," try, "I am working to become stronger," or, "I am working to care for my body so that it continues to help me do all the things I want to do."
What are some key developments in recent years that have helped women maintain weight loss?
Weight management is complicated and influenced by myriad different factors, some of which are under our control and some of which aren't. Thoughts are one factor that influences weight management. With practice, we can change the way we think. The way we talk and the way think directly influences how we behave. We know that feeling bad about your body is not a successful weight loss technique. If it were, weight management would be easy for lots of women! Instead, emotional distress often leads to overeating and other quick-fix ways of feeling better. As the Special K study demonstrated, positive thinking can have a real impact on weight management. The women in the study who took a positive approach were much less likely to have trouble getting back on track when their weight management plans were derailed. They were also more likely to turn to friends for support, which is a great practice.
What advice would you offer for busy moms on the go, who may not have time to take care of themselves after a long day?
A lot of women struggle to find time to care for themselves, especially when they're busy taking care of others. When it comes to being healthy, it's important to remember that what we think and what we say have a real impact on what we do. Taking small steps to change the way we approach our bodies can facilitate making the changes necessary to improve health and well-being. By focusing on what you want to do and who you want to be instead of what you look like, you remind yourself that making healthy choices is not just about a number on a scale. Our bodies are amazing. They walk, run, lift, and carry. They move us around in the world. They help us reach our goals and help us communicate with others. Think about your body becoming strong and healthy, or about being a good role model for other girls and women. When we learn to talk about our bodies with compassion and care, we open the door to making the kinds of lifestyle choices that are consistent with that kindness.
So let's make February not about what we are going to lose but what we are going to gain, weather it be self esteem, energy, confidence or strength. Click here to learn more.

Post subject: (The Skipping of) Senior Year
A young woman is in her junior year of high school. She gets a letter from a school, and both program and pitch seem tailored to her--her interests, her studies, her as a person. And so the school gets added to her list of "Colleges to Apply To." But the school is also offering her an interesting choice: skip senior year (high school), and go straight to freshman year in college.
My question: Is there anyone out there who took senior year and thought it was important? Useless? Someone who skipped it and it didn't matter, or you were better off for it? Or it hurt you? If either of the latter, why? Any ideas on how to figure it out for myself?
I know, I need to think about it, I figured I'd just try to get the opinions of some people who have no investment in the issue.
For those curious: The pitch is after those interested in the performing arts who are taking AP/Honor/IB classes and are exceptionally mature and intelligent. They need to take the SAT and ACT this year, and only twenty to thirty get in each year--so my odds aren't exactly stellar.
I appreciate anything you have to say.

Well, would you still get your diploma? Because if not that can hurt you later on, even if you get your GED.
Senior years aren't especially important if you have all your required classes out of the way. At my high school senior year was the year where everyone finally got to take fun classes, have independent study halls, and have free periods. There wasn't much to it, really. I enjoyed the classes I took, and the experiences I had; but if you have particular reason to stay for a senior year, I don't see why you should (since you have a legitimate reason for getting out of it).
I've never heard of skipping a year of high school altogether, but it's not uncommon here for high schoolers to be enrolled in college classes. If you think you're ready for college, I would say go ahead. Just make sure you know what you're getting into. It's a
of work.

My mother skipped her senior year of high school and she says she would have been better off if she had stayed in that program. So make sure it's something you plan to finish before you go for it otherwise use your senior year to find out what you really want to do. I stayed for my senior year and I think it was worth it because I took calculus with a really good math teacher and about half the math I do in college now I learned from him. I also stayed there because I was in Germany and it is a beautiful country with a wonderfully low drinking age. Don't base any decisions on that last part.

To preface this post, it's going to have a lot of questions which I think you should answer for yourself. But these are the questions I think are important, and I hope they help! ^_^
I do know people who skipped one year or another, but those cases were pretty unique, and don't apply to your situation. In my opinion, the relevant factors for you are: If you finished your high school requirements, if this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity at a really good school, and if there's nothing you're looking forward to in your senior year.
Like Nu said, the lack of diploma can be an issue for some people, in some fields, regardless of GED. On the other hand, is it an issue for the performing arts? I also know people who got their GED and went on to a stellar career in university.
The most important thing, I think, is finishing your high school requirements. Is that within reach? Is that important? Can you do without it? What does your school say? Can you work out a compromise with the administration?
I went to an extremely small all-girls school, which might explain their liberal skipping policy. But I know that bigger schools have all sorts of perks for being a senior - prom, pranks, relaxed classes, senior trip. Are these things you'll miss? Do you think they'll be important memories when you're older?
You also have to weigh the quality of the education you'll be receiving. If this is the only time you'll get this opportunity, and this is a good school, that lends weight to the one side. If this is just the local school, and you have a chance to get into, say, Julliard (or the equivalent)... which is more important?
I hope this helps, and doesn't muddy the waters...

What happens if you go to this place and flunk out/discover it's not what you want? What are the prospects for graduates from that school like in your chosen area? What are the chances that you're going to end up effectively locked into one course, or a very limited set of courses, of action? What effect would taking the SAT/ACT this year have on your probable attainment?
My advice would be to go for whatever you think gives you the widest range of desirable options. It may be that you end up sacrificing one thing - the chance of getting into this program - in order to get a wider choice of other things. Or not. *shruggle*

Like others here, I'd say it's worth investigating, but be VERY cautious to check the place out.
Check their accreditation. Are they currently accredited and in good standing? Who accredits them, and is the accrediting body legit, i.e. nationally recognized?
How much do they charge for tuition? Can you reasonably expect that tuition level to stay consistent (or only go up in small doses) over the next half decade?
What kind of aid package are they offering? What kind of scholarships can you apply for?
What are the job prospects for their graduates? Do they have a good careers office to help you find a job after you graduate?
IF it's an accredited school that checks out, AND the tuition is reasonable, AND they're offering aid, AND they have a good track record of employing students -- then it MIGHT be worth it.
Even then I'd be cautious. Sticking around your high school for one more year essentially guarantees you the HS degree, after which you'll be in a position to shop around for colleges.
If you have your HS degree and you go to a college for a year and it doesn't work out, you can still apply to other colleges without too much trouble. If you DON'T have your HS degree and you decide you have to switch colleges, well, things get a lot tougher.

What Nem and Tin said, with this additional bit of wisdom: Don't be in a hurry to grow up. Even if you go with this course and become really successful and like what you're doing, you still may regret having missed out on that last year of HS. Because you'll never be in HS again. Trust me when I say that HS is NOTHING like college, career, etc., and that you should enjoy it while it lasts. If you're not enjoying it? Fix that, and make it enjoyable. You won't be going back to this period of your life ever again, so don't be in a hurry to leave it.
As Nem said, it's best to keep your options really wide open at this point in your life, as let me tell you, you DON'T know precisely what you'll be doing in your future, even if you're pretty sure you know now. HS, and even college to some degree, is all about keeping your options open so that when you do find out for sure what you want to be doing, you can go for it. Skipping a whole year and jumping to what sounds like a very specialized college is narrowing your choices down a LOT. Now, if it were a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, then go for it (as long as it checks out like Tin said). If it's merely another fish in the barrel of colleges that will shortly be along to court you, let it go. If this place wants you so much, it's likely that other, better places will want you just as much, places you may end up preferring. And it's likely that this place will still be available in a year, and then you'll be able to pick from a LIST rather than a single one.

Can all that tweeting, liking and sharing really boost your bottom line?
When Marsha McVicker, owner of Errand Solutions, needed a cash infusion for her patient and employee services company, which provides hospitals and corporations tools to increase wellness and productivity within their organizations, she thought she could count on her bank. Wrong. The bank cited economic conditions and the impact on her company, and turned her down flat.
In her quest to find working capital, she was able to obtain a $75,000 loan through the Women's Business Development Center's small business lending program. Since then, her company has exceeded every goal set as terms for the loan, such as reducing overhead and increasing profitability through growth. Furthermore, the company is repaying the loan ahead of schedule.
Ms. McVicker is one of a growing number of business owners seeking alternative forms of financing to sustain and grow their businesses. "We got this loan at a time when we needed it most," she notes.
Two local nonprofit organizations – the Women's Business Development Center (WBDC) and ACCION Chicago – are reliable resources for business owners who can't get a bank loan and need financing. Through a grant from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity obtained in October 2010, the WBDC provides loans up to $75,000 to business owners in the State of Illinois. ACCION Chicago makes loans up to $25,000.
The purposes for the loans range from inventory and equipment purchases to business marketing, payment of licensing fees and other expenses associated with building and growing a business. The loans are fully or partially secured with business and personal assets and have maturities up to five years. Loan amortization begins during the first year. There are no out-of-pocket fees at the time of closing except collateral filing fees, and there are no charges for early loan payoffs.
"Business owners who need a smaller loan and are unable to pursue traditional banks may find these lending resources ideal," says Eva Brown, WBDC's director of the Access to Capital program.
For businesses that need slightly more cash, the federal government offers small business loan financing through two departments: the U.S. Small Business Administration and the U.S. Department of the Treasury. "These financing programs are contributing to economic growth and jobs during this difficult economic cycle," explains Judith Roussel, Illinois district director of the Small Business Administration.
The SBA loans include the Community Advantage Program, a pilot aimed at increasing the number of SBA 7(a) lenders by including, for the first time, non-bank community-based lenders that already have experience lending in economically-challenged markets. The loans, with a maximum size of $250,000, feature streamlined paperwork. In most instances, the loans are approved in five to 10 days. The SBA offers an 85 percent guarantee for loans up to $150,000 and 75 percent for those greater than $150,000.
The SBA's Intermediary Lending Pilot Program provides up to $200,000 in commercial loans through intermediaries for borrowers with declining collateral values or lower credit scores due to the economic downturn. The funds can be used for working capital, real estate, and the acquisition of materials, supplies and equipment. More information about these programs is available at www.sba.gov.
The U.S. Treasury's Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) Fund awards money to organizations working in economically depressed communities that, in turn, make loans to start-ups and business owners that want to expand their enterprise. CDFIs provide financing to residents who want to buy their first home, individuals who want to start a business and owners of established businesses like a neighborhood printing shop, beauty salon or restaurant. To find a CDFI in your community, visit www.cdfifund.gov.
"The interest rate on these alternative loan programs is typically higher than a traditional bank loan because of the inherent higher risk in the transaction," Ms. Brown cautions. "Pricing is usually dependent upon the risk profile of the client." However, under SBA's Community Advantage Loan Program, interest rates are capped at the same levels as SBA's other 7(a) Loan Programs, assuring rates that are competitive with traditional bank loans.
"The bottom line is, if you need funding and your bank can't provide it, one of these alternative loan programs may be a solution," Ms. Brown says. "Study the options in detail before deciding which is best for your particular situation."

Very nice quality rug--thick and plush. However it is NOT ivory in color. I kept it because the length was perfect (I ordered a runner) and beige an adequate substitute color. Shipping was very quick.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Beautiful quality, exceptionally fast shipping. BUT why would the dealer call this a gold and ivory rug??? NO IVORY at all! This is not the fault of RugsUSA. Undecided as to whether or not I'm keeping it.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Beautiful rug at a great price. Good quality. We have it in the living room. My mom liked it so much that she bought one for her dining room.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.The quality of the rug was great. I was a little bit disappointed that the colors weren't a little bit brighter. However, overall, I am very pleased. Could not believe how quickly it arrived.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
