When I move back to the states I have a couple of options. It looks like I wont be moving back to the states when I expected due to a flight allowance issue. However when I go back to the states I really dont want to move back to Arizona because I hate the state and I'm sick of weather similar to the inside of an oven. I know everyone talks about the amount of sunshine Arizona gets and yes that can be nice but if its going to be as hot as Arizona is I can do without it.
So now I've got two maybe three viable other alternatives to Arizona. They are...
Utah
Maryland
and Virginia
Utah
With Utah I have an Aunt who lives there so I could stay with her and not have to worry about rent. Much better weather there plus it snows which has been something I've missed for years.
Maryland
Marylands got University of Maryland-College Park. A good university and its been one I've been interested in for years. I was born in Maryland and lived there till I was nine when I moved to Arizona. Close to D.C. and theres Public Transportation so I really wouldnt need a car much plus I can take a train into D.C. if I want to. Rents a bit pricey for a room and craigslist listings are a bit difficult to navigate for Maryland. I wish they would organize Maryland by counties on craigslist to make it easier to navigate because it is difficult to figure out the rent range for the three counties I am interested in which are Prince Georges County, Anne Arundel County, and Montgomery County. I grew up in Anne Arundel County but I am most interested in Prince Georges County in the College Park area. It would probably be easier if I were to fly into Maryland and get a newspaper with rental listings and then look for roomates.
and finally Virginia...
My Moms from Virginia and her whole family lives there with one exception of an Aunt who lives in North Carolina teaching at DOD schools. I have an Aunt from my Dads side of the family who lives in Virginia as well. So I could probably stay with a relative for a little while while finding a job and whatnot but still its less likely than Utah where my Aunt has physically said that I welcome to come and live with her if I were to move to Utah. Virginias nice but I am not sure if its for me at the moment.
Even if I end up in Arizona I still have to move out of my parents house because they'll still be living in Riyadh so I need to find a job either way to pay for rent and everything. I also want to learn how to ride a motorcycle when I get back to the states because its something I've been wanting to do for a while.
After some thought I have decided to include Colorado and Florida on this list as well. I could probably get a job at a Ski Resort in Colorado though the season doesnt start till November so I would be hanging around in Az for a while which wouldnt be too bad. With Florida I dont know about jobs these days though.

I graduate in 5 days
Well I will probably get my diploma a few days after I graduate since I'm still waiting for the test from the math course I took online to get here but I should still graduate this summer. It looks like I will be taking the second semester of Algebra 2 online as well because my math teacher did not cover what was on the final exam and out of the three seniors that took it the highest grade was a D. I got a 35%. I had a 58 in the class before I took the test and now it went down to a 52 or 53. So I am going to go through past tests to see if there were any mistakes that could raise my grade but I'm not really sure what to look for. So it will most likely be another online class since my math teacher doesnt give a shit about his math classes. Most of us have really low grades in the class and he doesnt give a rats ass about us as long as he gets paid. Him and my principal should be fired because all they do is sit around on their lazy asses and collect their paychecks. One of these days I will get back at my principal for ruining my senior year.

I hate hot weather...
I really despise it. Now I dont mind warm weather such as in the 90's and low 90's but when its over 110 degrees I absolutely despise it. First of all I feel like I'm in an Oven because its so dry and hot here when it gets hot here. And I get sick in hot weather. Today I had P.E. last hour outside on one of the fields with no shade since were doing a golf unit and we were practicing driving swings today. So when I got on the bus after getting out of school I felt really sick. Now a few hours later I've recovered after eating some food and drinking a lot of cold water but I'm not looking forward to P.E. if the weather is going to be like this.

I dont know what to do...
There is a very big possibility that I will not graduate due to a credit issue between my current school and my last school. All I am lacking is a math credit. My current school requires 25 credits to graduate whereas my last school required 21-22 credits to graduate. At the end of this semester I will have 24. I dont have time to take an online class and I cant take it through Mesa Distance or Primavera since I am not living in Arizona at the moment. My school is picky so I would have to take it through a Online University Course. At the moment I am taking the first semester of Algebra 2 through BYU online and I believe I can pass that but I need to finish it. So if I pass that I would have 24.5 credits and then there is a .5 credit in question. I am taking the second semester of Algebra 2 but so far my teacher has managed to make me very confused by saying one thing one day and then saying another thing the next class.I have a tutor which helps a lot more than when I didnt have one last semester. My principal is no help and my parents cant really do anything for me. Though they have informed me that they will not be paying for EAC if I dont graduate. They were only willing to pay for EAC if I did graduate and now thats in question. I am really confused about this. I dont know if I would be able to take a summer school course this summer since I would be moving back to the U.S. and I dont know if I would be able to finish it in time. So basically I am stuck. And if I dont get my diploma I am basically screwed since my parents cant help me and this means a high chance of homelessness. I am so confused right now.
