If there was one thing you could do in your life you can't right now, for whatever reason, what would it be and why?
         Devote a huge amount of time every day to writing. I love school, but it's a little time-consuming. The only reason I'm looking forward to summer (besides being able to sleep in ) is having time to write as much as I want to.

If you could spend $10,000 dollars on anything you wanted, what would you do with it?
         I would buy a really nice computer and put the rest toward college.
