My future... maybe.

1) Weird realisation: As much of a romantic I am, I think I would be perfectly alright with never having a serious romantic relationship throughout of my life. I mean, should I run into teh one for me, I'd go nuts with happiness and gushiness, and work hard for the relationship. But if never then fine. As long as I have friends to hang out with, a job and hobby/ies that occupy my mind and such, I'd be fine. Kids would be nice to have though, so if I'm still single when I'm in my late thirties I'll probably adopt. (I find myself more interested in raising a kid than securing my genetic heritage, although that could be nice too.)

2) Job-searching really makes me wish I had a driver's license... That is one of the things I'm going to fix this year, actually. (Just got my driving permit renewed, and going to practice this weekend with dad.) Last year was when life was turned upside down for me, so this year is going to be my getting a grip on life and do the things I need/want to do. (Get a job or several, get a driver's license, save up money for both new studies and maybe hopefully for a trip to Paraguay. Last one because a) berenicepotter lives there, b) I want to go to another country without having my parents be the ones to care for me during the trip and c) I want to add another continent on continents I've been to.) So if I get enough money this year and beginning of next, I'm using a portion of that for the trip of a lifetime! (Got to get a job first though...)

3) I think I know what I wanna do with my life. But I want to fully use this year to get to know myself and my ambitions, so it may still change. Currently my options as I see them is:
- Go back to Business school and finish what I began 2004, and become a economist/controller/whatever new spiffy name they'll call it when I'm done.
- Start a completely new education to become.... An Engineer! Which, as much as it pains me to admit after spending 3 years or so going in a different direction, might be the thing for me. I am a technological freak, and I wanna be a inventor. I have my reasons for why I didn't consider it back in High School, and the more I think about it the more I like it. Plus there'd be no need for commuting, the local school has excellent programs, and I've already taken a liking for one of them.
- Continue being non-academic working girl.
- Become a writer that gets hugely popular over night.

The one I believe in right now, is the Engineer one. But I'm worried... And I want to be sure that I'll make the right decision. I'm glad I'm still young, even if there are those (my hyperactive cousin of same age) who thinks life is about to get over after 27. And you have to do what you want with it now, before you're stuck in suburbia with kids.

4) I've been stuck with my writing lately. More precisely, I think it's been almost a month since I wrote anything, period. I think my insecurities are getting to me... I'm gonna try and do something about it tonight, even if it means filling myself with alcohol/cafeine/sugar until my inhibitions dissolve. If I just write something, I can more easily write something more the next day.
