The Diary of Queen Mothy |
The Road Map to the Next Four Years written @ 7:50 PM on March 12, 2002 Something is definitely wrong; I've gone two whole days without homework. I'm going to get slammed sometime this week. Yikes. Tomorrow is my NKU art department visit. We shall see how that goes. Their theater is a hidden gem, so I'm already planning a hostile takeover. *evil grin* Lately I've been really thinking about post-college. Good God, I don't know what the hell I'm going to do. I mean, I know what I want to do, but I don't know how I'm going to ease my way into it and become settled, you know? I mean, I'm sitting here right now thinking "Holy shit, how in the hell am I going to be able to pull off this sort of career?" I hope I have a job within my field before I graduate from college. I suppose that once I reach college, the first thing I'm going to do is declare a double major in graphic and scenic design. This will ultimately sacrifice whatever social life I planned on having, but at least I'll get what I want. Second, I'll have to join an organization or two. I won't have the conglomerate mess of clubs like now in high school, but one or two will be nice to dedicate myself to. In any case, if worse comes to worse, I'll sacrifice those as well. After freshman year, I might have to take a couple of summer courses to clear my path in the case that I have scheduling conflicts between my chosen majors. I will have to get a job to start a mild income, and preferably I'll try and find something that closely resembles my chosen fields. Sophomore year in college, I might skip out on the clubs entirely and focus entirely on my studies. No doubt I'll have to have a stash of aspirin. If God is merciful and I find some freetime, I hope to re-edit my entire novel and finally send that off to a publishing company. I don't expect my first ones to be especially successful, but once my series gets off the ground, I can start generating some money and easing my way into the working world. In the summer, I'll probably have to take some more summer courses to graduate on time and I MUST get a job either within a theater or do a co-op thing with the graphic design major. Junior year I anticipate to be like hell. No clubs or organizations, just pure work in art and theater. What "fun!" And by the time the summer rolls around, it shouldn't be hard to find a job within my chosen fields. It might be tough if both my majors require an outside job, but I'm a master of time management. I'll tackle that problem when it comes. Senior year is the year of finishing touches. I should have a job waiting for me, and I should be on my way to achieving what I worked so hard for throughout all my years in pre-college education. Hopefully I'll have made some valuable connections along the way and be prepared to take on the world. Damn. I just mapped out the next four years of my life. Well, I kind of feel better now. Maybe it won't be so bad.
