Open my eyes, so that I may see the light

I have found my passion. It came to me last night, after a long period of no sleep. I've always loved architecture, but it is not something I could make into a career. It takes things I don't have the patience for; knowing different styles of housing, how to accommodate the prospective owners. In the physical sense, it takes a kind of absolute precision that I just do not have, nor care to. I fall asleep reading about it, it doesn't really interest me in the way something you want to do for the rest of your life should. However, there is one big thing that always excites me like that; computers. Anything to do with them; programming, tearing them apart, anything. I always look at a game and wonder what kind of programming it took to bring something to life like that, and often think to myself I could do better if I knew how to do it. That is what I want to do with my life. I want to immerse myself in it, learn how to do things nobody could, turn things that I've always dreamed about into a visual reality. I don't just want to play next generation games, I want to design them. I want my name to be on those credits nobody ever looks at, and I want to look at it and know how it's made and what makes it tick. That is what I will do with my life.

Also, I made an itinerary of sorts for the following months. It goes as follows:

By October 31st I will be driving a car, possibly even one I own, come hell or high water. This delayed date makes space for the numerous accidents and things which will inevitably keep me from doing things on time.
Next on the list is Owens, which I HAVE to be enrolled in by November 19th. I am actually looking forward to school, I miss it.
I have no idea when exactly I'll be receiving my diploma, but I am through dealing with my principal. I'm going to ask him once more to get me a damn packet, and then I'm going to the superintendent.

That's the three main goals I have for the rest of this year. I am taking control of my own life, and mom and dad can eat me. By the end of next year, I hope to be out on my own, free of all this mayhem. I need to do this, for me.
