On a train to nowhere

Nov 04, 2009 09:07

So... long-time no update. lol.

I guess in general things have been good. I've got a really great living situation this year (big/warm/sunlight-filled room, great room mates who do their part in keeping things clean and liveable, view of the ocean, great transportation options, and parking) and I guess my classes are going well.

But I'm taking so many random things which have no real value or importance to me or my degree like Moral Philosophy and British Columbia Anthropology. And here I am, having decided to major in Psychology which is the only solid decision I've made this year... and sure I find psychology interesting, but it's not exactly my calling in life. I don't know what is. I want to have a nice little cottage/farm thing with lots of animals and kids, but not a working farm... so I don't even want to be a farmer. I have no idea what my dream job would be then.

Every career I'm interested in is either fiercely competitive or they seem to be more work than I'm interested in investing to attain that career.

And I'm not slowing down because I just want to get my education out of the way so I can start living a real life. I just want a family you know? A career to me is just like a way to try and support a family... not something I am super invested in.

So here I am, rushing through this portion of my life, not really knowing which way I'm heading... I feel like I'm on a train that's travelling full speed ahead but to nowhere in particular.

There are a milion things I'd love to do, a million things I'm interested in... but I have no real motivation to pursue any of them in particular so I'm just trying to find something I'm comfortable with, even if I know it isn't really what I want.

What to do?
