life schedule.
So, my dad is very concerned about me.
I'm sitting in the car this weekend with him and he askes me"So, what exactly are you going to do with your life after you graduate from Arcadia?"
That's a damn good question. I wanted to respond.
But instead I said, "I don't know. If it weren't for Aunt Laurie, I wouldn't know what I'm doing this weekend."
He began to get angry. "Catherine, this is serious! If it were me, I'd talk to my advisor, figure out what job openings there are for me, make sure I'm on the right track with courses..." His voice began to fade away as I zoned out and stared out the window. I needed to keep my temper down. He only wants what's best for me.
"Alright dad, I will do that. I have somewhat of a plan of what I want to do." Then I couldn't resist. "I am quiet capable of figuring things out. I know that I need to get information."
EPIC FAIL when it comes to choice of words.
"You know what?! Fine! You know more than I do about you're life! Fine! You handle it! You do your thing!" He yelled, and then got really quiet and picked up speed. The bends in the road leading to Lara's house made my life flash before my eyes.
With the silence in the car, I couldn't really do anything except think about what he had said. I've known since sixth grade that I wanted to be an archaeologist. But now that I'm actually pursuing my dream, what am I going to do with it after college?
Here's my plan so far:
1. Graduate.
2. Get an apartment in DC.
3. Get and job at the Smithsonian.
4. Pester National Geographic relentlessly until they have no choice but to hire me.
5. Go to graduate school. Preferably in England or Egypt.
6. Get a doctorate in archaeology.
7. Dig anywhere I can. Again, preferably Egypt, Greece, Italy, etc.
8. Become a college professor.
9. Travel.
10.Never marry. Maybe marry. If its to Taylor Lautner.
11. Have a baby named Pippa Rose, just to piss off Lana.
The End.
I may have to modify a few things *cough* numbers 10&11 *cough*. But that's a steady outline.
There we go. For the first time in my life, I have something planned out. And Aunt Laurie didn't even help me with it!
