So, I had to fill in some form for uni work. Asking me to reflect on the things ive done for far etc. It got me thinking about where this is all going. I'm in second year now and time is moving at about warp factor 10 here. It gonna be Christmas in like eight weeks or something, nuts, anyway. (if you type in gonna one of the spelling suggestions is gonad heh heh snort). Where do i want to go with my degree? It such a bad question because if I set myself up for a goal ill be disappointed if it goes FUBAR on the other hand it will help with my decision making in 3rd and 4th year if I have at least some idea here this is all going. At the moment my thoughts are
Journalist
writer
im hungry
English teacher
"something" in publishing
did the new episode of smallville come out today
Not what you would call set in marble. See unless you're doing a vocational degree like teaching or nursing I would argue that the question of "what next?" doesn't really occur to people until half way through 4th year. Does this mean im ahead of the game or just a worrier? who knows. What I do know is that I do want to start thinking about what's going to happen.
I'd love to be a writer, but do I have the discipline for that? id bee my own boss sure but my boss is a lazy SOB If I let him.
A teacher? well that would be good too but frankly I remember what teenagers are like and I hated school the first time round
Journalist ? hmm no i have morals...See its hard
So...what do you want to be when you grow up?? bare in mind at this stage of the game "space cowboy" is sadly no longer an option.
Pocahontas always is and always has been an option for me. social work is just a disguise from my princess training.
