College Scares May 30, 2008

<–The face of a girl who needs to think about the future and fast.

 

 

   For everyone alive, will go through the agony of choosing to go to college or not to go to college. Graduating is the first step, and seems to always be a right of passage for everyone in their lives. I am honestly just dreading that day, because I mean that is the day where you fully have to grow up. I feel like Peter Pan in away, always want to be a girl *no Peter Pan was not a hermaphrodite, slightly gay maybe but that is a different matter* I know I have to grow up, but then I feel like a three year old wanting to stomp around and stay put.  I guess, allot of people are wanting to grow up, but still afraid what awaits us in the dark abyss in front of us.

 

   I want to go to college, I want to get my Masters degree. But, I still can’t see me as a scientist. It is what I know I should and want to do, I just still can’t in vision me in my turtle framed glasses, hair pulled in a bun, in a white trench coat, with a clip board in hand. Go figure! For those who don’t know the “Plan” here it is:

1) Graduate High School

2) Get accepted into a college, preferably UF *so I can hang with Mar-Bear*

3) Get my masters in Environmental Science *yeah, I know HIPPIE* (What I want to do under environmental science there are two things, alternative energy source, and possibly agriculture. But not a Tree doctor!)

4) Join the Peace Corps, under the branch of Environmental Science. *That will take 2 years*

5) Then get a job.

6) Buy a house somewhere, and make it completely self-efficient! Woo-HOO! *sticking it to the man*

7) oh yeah, I forgot after high school there will be one year of traveling around Europe and INDIA, Africa is a possibility!

8) and then the classic girl thing, fall in love with a guy marry him, and have little children. *4 if it is possible*

9) and then worm food! *but I will die with my boots on*

 

So, being a Junior next year, is scary. Because that means my plan ^ is going to come in play REAL quickly. Looking into colleges can be so stressful, and I need to start researching them like now. Who really needs all that stress? Apparently, I have to just bite the bullet and just do it! So if anybody has a suggestion on colleges that are good for Environmental Science please leave me a comment. I am willing to go anywhere, to stay in Florida would be better, because then I am able to get scholarships. ANOTHER thing, scholarships, I do not want to be working two jobs to try to put myself through college. I will do it if needed, but I would prefer NOT to.

So if you have good tidbits of information on colleges, then please leave a comment. Trust me, I need anything I can get. :)

 

  Okay, so now off that subject of what to do in the soon to be future. Lets talk about the up coming events in my agenda. What looked like an absolutely nothing to do weekend, is turning out to become a really fun filled weekend.

Tomorrow Friday: do some school, call Shylene, and the given Internet time.

Saturday: A Fashion Show at the Signature Grand. WOO-HOO! An afternoon of fun, and fashion.

Sunday: Church, Bible Study which is going oh so well. My girls are just dolls, the group is just going swell. Then breakfast with mom at this little Cuban place! Delish!

    You need to google “The Last Lecture” Watch the youtube video. It’s a professor who is giving his last lecture before dying. He has pancreatic cancer. Many universities have professors do this to pass on their wisdom but they aren’t really dying, he is. The reason I mention it, is because the masters’ degree at Carnegie Mellon where he teaches, seems to be right up your alley with your intelligence, creativity, and how you use so many different facets of your brain. I also wish you would email me because there are some things I want to say, but not on a blog. Love ya.
