Who knows? Only time...
There are a lot of questions that have been running through my mind lately about my future. It's like I need something to look forward to, but I'm not sure what direction I want to take with my life. The most obvious question looming in my mind lately has been academically what I want to pursue next. I have been toying around with the idea of getting a second master's in technology, but a lot of people have been encouraging me to begin my doctorate. I know everntually I want to go for an Ed.D. degree, but I don't know if I am mentally ready for the vigorous schooling at this stage. Besides the fact that I don't know exactly what I would want to get my doctorate degree in.
I will be setting up my internship soon for my gifted certificate, and from the looks of it, I will be doing my internship in the Summer 1 session - between May and June. I'm not sure what it entails or how many hours I will need, but I'm hoping I will be able to figure something out with an afterschool or weekend program somewhere. Since I won't be doing it in the actual summertime, that means I have to start thinking about what kind of summer job I want to have. I know I can't go the entire summer without working, and there will probably only be a couple of shows to work with the LIP. I wouldn't want to work every day either - I want to actually enjoy my summer. I don't plan on working summer school unless they ask me to work it. Then I kinda can't say no. I really don't know what I want to do.
Also, as much as I loved - and I mean LOVED - my trip to Australia, I feel kinda empty inside. Australia was THE BIGGEST accomplishment I have ever made - something I had only dreamed about doing and I actually had the chance to do it. Now I'm searching for a "replacement" of sorts. I need a destination to go to - the only one that I really want to go to (besides stuff in the US) is Jamaica - and that is something I was kinda hoping to accomplish if and when I ever get married.
Which brings me to my next complaint - Why is there so much pressure to get married? I don't even want to get into my mixed emotions on this subject.
But the one thing that has been constant throughout all of this - the fact that life is short and that you need to enjoy every minute of what you do. I'm so happy with everything I've accomplished and where I am at now in my life. I feel like that there's so much more to do and I am frustrated because I don't know where to begin.
