There's so much going on in your life right now, it's no wonder you're feeling a little overwhelmed. Your mamma's right - you have time before you have to make a major decision. Your DA needs you! And you need your education. Who says you can't combine journalism and adventure on the sea? I'm thinking National Geographic
In the meantime, here's something that can relieve a little of that burden: I use cookbook software called Living Cookbook to keep my recipes. It has some great features that can make the cooking needs much more manageable. It can:
- import recipes from the Internet or a file
- scale recipes to any number of servings and save this to a new file
- create cookbooks with chapters for different types of foods
- create grocery lists
- convert to and from metric units
- print recipes in a consistent format
- and much more!

When I think of journalism, I don't think first of TV/video but writing. That's probably because I'm your mother's age and he's your age
But since you have time to figure things out, try not to stress about it too much now. One thing at a time
Cat, we have all watched you grow and develop into a lovely young lady that any of us would be very proud to call you a daughter. By the time you graduate, you will see things even more clearly than you do now. So don't fret so much over the future. You have plenty of time to worry later.
And stop worrying about what Americans will think of you. A very large portion of the population don't even know you exist. And those that do, think you are doing just fine. You will figure tings out in their own time. For the time being, concentrate on DA and your education. You have Papa and The Gizzi to worry about Catina II for the time being. She is safe in her dry berth. By the time you go home in July, she will be almost ready for her first tryouts. You can help by taking the helm and keep her safe in calm waters.
I had an attack of the MOTNIs (Middle Of The Night Insomnias) last night and I spent most of it listening to the BBC World Service on the radio. If the Powers That Be, both there and in the rest of the world, get carried away this could escalate into something very, very bad. One of the interviewees went so far as to describe it as threatening a European War. We've already had two too many of those and another would be infinitely worse.
