(no subject)
Every once in a while, I'll have someone ask me:
What do you want to do in life?
Truth is, I've still got no idea. I've shrugged it off for a while, and my most feasible and realistic option is still accounting. Am I going to be an accountant though?
No, not a doubt in my mind that I will be.
What I'm going to do, what I'm really going to do, is one of these things:
1) start a business with Matt
2) write
3) do anything else that's out of the norm
I'm not sure why, but recently I've felt more constrained by the US educational and social system than I ever have. I've spent up till this point following the playbook for success step by step, not one diversion. And where's it got me? Exactly where it said it would, here with everyone.
Not that being here with everyone else is a terrible thing-it's worked pretty well for us so far.
I'm pretty sure that if I haven't had a major breakthrough by the end of first semester, senior year, I'll apply for the Peace Corps.

You're worked up tonight, you've got to calm down, he said. You're not going to pull this off with a shaky trigger finger.
I'm fine, you check the front?
You're not fine.
DId you check the front?
Yes, I did. The guards are down, they'll be out for another half hour. The alarm wasn't called in, so unless a cop decides he needs a diamond necklace at two in the morning we should be fine. You're not fine.
Diamonds? Who said anything about diamonds?
Oh come on. We're at a jewelry store. What else are we going to take? The glass casings?
