oh I don't know what to put in here. lol
First of all, Happy New Year! it is a bit late to say that I know but I felt like saying it anyways. Chinese New Year isn't till February, but it is year of the tiger. rawr.
I can't believe the year is now 2010. I am so used to living in 1990-2009. I mean I like that period when I was living in it, but now it's 2010 and two more years into the future will be 2012 which is funny because there is a movie called 2012. Haha. Freaky isn't it? Anyways, after 5 years of being in school, I am actually graduating or so I think I am. *sighs* I always have this unknown feeling that i feel and you may call it paranoia, stress, panic attack, etc. I really hope I graduate because I already have several family members coming over to see me. >_<
I have to work really hard to make it into the end. I have done this before last semester with a help of a friend and I made it! *whew* Now I have this obstacle that I really need to make it over or else it'll be such a huge embarrassment. >_<. *sighs* I'm kinda procrastinating and I shouldn't because it'll prevent me from doing what I am supposed to be doing. @_@. Now I have thought about what to do after i graduate and I have two options: I can either work during the summer and through out the rest of the year or I can continue to go to school. I really feel that I should get a job because I never had a job in the last 5 years. All of those years were spent into my schooling and other dramatic episodes in my life. I wanted to try to get some experience by getting a job after I graduated from high school, but my mom put me in college like that. *snaps her fingers* I mean I was 18yrs surely I could've gotten a job.....T__T
My mom thought if I went to college and finished the 2yr program then it would be easy to get a job with education under my belt, but it didn't go as planned. Instead, shit hit the fan for 5 years..well something like that and it took me longer focus on school. To be honest, it took me a while to actually think what I wanted to do with my life. I had so many dream careers that I wanted to be and now it is all gone. I had a hard time deciding what I wanted for a very long time and I feel pressured that I am not like some people who know instantly what they want and they follow through. It took me forever and I think I know what I want to be.
I want to become a massage therapist. I know it sounds cheesy, but I have been thinking about how I like to do things with my hands. I think i got this from my dad because he likes having jobs that require you to be physical and maybe that is why I enjoy working with my hands. A good example is taking an art class you paint and draw and you mostly use your hands to help you create your art piece. Another reason why I thought about this career is several members of my family are getting older so they are prone to having a lot of back aches and pains on their body. I figured if I started out I could come back as a licensed massage therapist (LMT) and help them work out the aches that they are suffering. I feel that i could help people relieve their stress. I also stress out a lot and my entire upper neck and shoulders are very tense so I think this will benefit for me in the long run.
I like the smell of essential oils and want to learn the different techniques in giving someone a good massage. I imagine myself sometimes being massaged by a professional and feeling the tension in my shoulders release. I keep thinking about being in this field and I think I should give it a try. If I keep thinking about the same thing over and over again it might mean I have some interests in which I do. Hawaii does have several places that have massage classes, but they're kinda expensive. I thought about moving to the mainland to find if the classes up there are cheaper or even going to a school that offers it as a program would be much better. In fact, a friend of mine moved up to california last year and is taking a veterinarian program to become a vet at a college.
The college she is going to is called Western Career College. I have done some research about this certain college and there are more than one branch in california. The only place that has bad reviews is the College in Citrus Heights and because of this bad review everyone will believe every other college is bad as well. This isn't the case, but i could be wrong. I decided to look up the one in sacramento which is where my friend is attending and to my luck they offer a massage therapy program. I was very happy and decided that when I have enough money saved up I"ll move over there and attend the college to take the massage therapy program. However, I had to think about how to get from A to B?
I know my friend lives in a condo and there is another room available, so I am good on that. I also had to think about money and how much it would take to live over there for a year. All of these ingredients that will get me to california, is something very important to plan. I really do need a job. I need to save up money. I also have to do a lot of researching and planning, etc.
My step dad wants me to get a bachelors degree here, but I told him that I could get one while in california and I would already have my associates by then. I know i'm crazy when i said I want to get off of this island, but I have been born and raised here till now. I have no experience of going to the mainland as a teenager or a young adult. I have gone to vegas as a kid, but that doesn't count. How am I going to learn if I continue to stay here? Besides, I don't want to live under the same roof as my mom; we have bumped heads a lot of times. I rather live with my friend and live my own life and try to have fun with it.
So my plan is to get a summer job and hopefully make it turn permanent. save money and save up till I hit my goal. keep in contact and update with my friend in cali. Make some arrangements with the college that my friend is going to and hopefully everything will go okay in the future. *sighs* it's a lot to think about.
