shedding some light?

I'm not really good at the whole journal thing and school has kept me pretty busy to make matters worse I procrastinate a lot. But one of my new watchers asked if I could share a little more about myself and my culture so here goes nothing

   I from a tiny island in the Caribbean called Barbados it very beautiful I guess if you're into the whole tropical vacation thing and you will see that in most area like the country side, beaches etc. Its actually kind sad to say but I really don't know much about my own historical clutter plus when I wanted to do history in secondary school (what most call high school) my mom was like I don't think history is for you which unfortunately she was right because I was very lazy when I came to reading unless it was a scary book like Goosebumps, a paranormal romance novel (NOT TWILIGHT) or chicken soup for the soul they was no way I could read it and not fall asleep. But when I got into collage certain subjects required a lot of reading and I had to find ways of revising my note so I don't fail I mean I'm not a strait A student but collage is a lot harder than I thought I would be.
   I honestly though all I had to do was drawing, painting and maybe even a bit of collaging but all the students  whether art student or computer programming student we all have to do English (my worst subject (>_<) ) Politics (which I'm really starting to like ) Math (woo hoo math alright \(^_^)/) and Ethics. And I also had to do other art related subjects like photography, 3d representation /pottery/ceramics (structure I guess ) and so on. There were points where I couldn't handle the work load and I really wanted to drop out yet ironically finding ways to encourage my friends not to drop out (I guess that was a way of me encouraging myself ). But as far as dropping out goes that's out of the question because my mom won't have that. At this point I'm just doing my associate degree and I was hoping to go as far as masters but I ain't getting any younger and like I said this is a lot harder than it looks so I made a deal with my mother that I would finish my associates and then I could do what I wanted as far as continuing or not  I don't know what I'm going to do as far as that but  I figure I should hang on and finish because:

1) I only have one more year after this semester
2) I don't want the money I use already go to waste
3) I may apply to  an animation collage overseas and get a job  after words after I get this degree  

But I think I talked quite a bit there and I'll save the rest for my next journal entry
