Who wants to just survive...? Living is so much more fun

Sooooooo

I haven't posted in quite some time.  And what's going on, you may ask?

Well, nothing huge honestly.  Life is just life, and I can't complain about anything right now.

i guess the most major thing that's occurred is I've figured out what I want to do with my life - I want to be an interpreter for the deaf.  I'm minoring in American Sign Language (ASL) now, and should be done with the minor within the next 2 semesters...ish...lol

To become an interpreter you have to take a test and all that jazz.  Shouldn't be too hard - and of course there are different levels of it as well.  And of course I wanna be the top level, just cuz that's how I roll.  But, interpreters make a good amount of money and it's something I love.  I love Deaf Culture and interacting within it.  And I definitely can't wait until I can start my career in it.

Part of me just wants to quit school and finish taking ASL classes at a community college and get my certification and what not...and just do it.  Why not?  I don't know if i even want to go into journalism anymore now that I know I want to be an interpreter.  Although I suppose it would be nice to have that background in it to fall back on.  Or I could always do both, bring in the big bucks LOL.

Yeah, I'll finish my time at Central, and I'll love it.  I'll a degree.  I'll get a job.  I'll move out of my mom and Ken's house.  I'll get my own place.  I'll live in michigan for a couple more years.  I'll move to california.  I'll get another job.  I'll get another place.  And I won't just survive...but I'll LIVE.
