Graduation is coming for me again this fall!! I'll have my Associates in General Studies...that's kind of a blah degree that just means I've taken enough classes that I can wear a funny flat hat. However, this semester and in the fall, I am taking classes that can transfer to a Bachelor's program in the future. THAT is what I'm most excited about. I can't wait to have my Bachelor's. It will make me more desireable in the job market, I will be the first one in my family to have one, and I will feel like a smarty pants.
The only problem is that I can't decide what I want to get my Bachelor's in. What do I want to study? When I was about 7, I wanted to be an astronaut. When I was 9, I wanted to be a vetrinarian. I loved animals...what kid didn't? Around the time I started reading Grisham novels (11 or 12), I wanted to be an attorney. I was going to go to IU and study law. Heavy for a pre-teen, I know. Then in high school, I decided that I would teach English to high school students. (Notice that the older I got, the more realistic my goals became.) None of these things worked out for me. I can't be an astronaut because I'm a big wuss, and I want to graduate before I'm 95. I'd rather not deal with smelly animals all day long...I've already got one at home. As an adult, I can't STAND attorneys so that's out. I guess I could still teach, but not high-schoolers. They are punks. I hate punks.
I don't know what I want to be when I grow up. I never thought that I'd be almost 30 and not be settled in a career already. Bryan says I need to figure out what I love and do something with that. But I'm not a risk-taker. I want to go the safe route. Opening my own restaurant is not exactly safe. And you have to work tons of hours to do that. And I'm lazy. So...
LAZY!! I'm good at that, I love to do it too! Can someone pay me for being lazy? No? Oh well. The search continues...
