I really wish I knew what I was supposed to do with my life. Like, I could look in a crystal ball and see where I'm going to be 5 years from now. That would be fantastic. I feel like I've always wanted to be a teacher. Never anything else. Granted the subject has changed from music to history, and from high school to elementary then back to high school, but in general I have always wanted to be a teacher. I officially don't have that desire anymore. And it makes me sad, it's been like 2 weeks but I haven't wanted to be a teacher. Maybe it's because none of my classes this semester are useful (they're for elementary education, and I'm secondary). Or maybe I'm just not trying, I'm not really sure what it is. I've been thinking recently about going to law school, but I'm not sure if a) that's what I want to do or b) if I could do it. I mean...it's a lot of work. A lot. I feel like I would get discouraged very easily, and that's not exactly something you can afford to do with law. The LSAT is an intense test in and of itself, so I'd have to get over that mile stone anyways. From the looks of it, it's the SAT on steroids and crack. I'm not exactly sure how it'll work out, but it almost has to...I think. I guess it doesn't have to work out. I mean...most of my life things haven't worked out like I think they should, or like I wanted them too, but they did. Maybe I'll give it a shot. I have about a year and a half to prepare for the LSAT so maybe I'll study for that (on top of everything else) and get an education degree, then go to law school if I get in That way if law school turns out to be a bust, I'll teach. Not exactly sure if that's how deciding a career works, but I think that's how I'm going to do it.
I've been spending a lot of time at Port City Java, which as a result I've been spending quite a bit of money, but I feel bad going in and not getting anything. Granted the amount of money I spend here over the course of a year could potentially pay the buildings rent, I still feel bad. That's actually an exaggeration, but the concept remains. I feel like it's the only place I can study lately, but maybe that's because I've put up a mental block to all other places. I actually have been studying more this semester than I have in semesters past. My schedule doesn't allow me much free time...Like right now. I should be doing some reading for my 131 class, but I just can't bring myself to do it since I went ahead and did the assignment. And instead of watching the Olympics like I do every night, I should read and stuff, but again. Just can't bring myself to do it. On the plus side Port City Java isn't crowded, and my Strawberry Italian Ice is fantastic =)
I've also been watching the Olympics lately, and it seems that there have been more crashes, falls, and the like made more this year than in years past. I also feel like the US shouldn't have a curling team. Don't get me wrong, I love curling (in fact I'm quite obsessed) but it's ridiculous how poorly we are doing. Our skip is useless, I mean...He was the alternate on the bronze team 4 years ago...So why is he our skip again? Exactly. I have the same birthday as Pyls though which is pretty exciting... He's obviously older, so not quite as cool as if we were the same age, but still cool. I'm listening to the Team USA Soundtrack, and at least some of them have a good taste in music. Some of them however...3 Doors Down, I mean...really? Yuck. They listen to a lot of Honor Society, which is a fantastic band so go Team USA hah.
A lot has happened since I last updated, and in general I'm staying incredibly busy. However, I think I'm actually going to get back to studying.
I hope everyone is doing well. I never talk to anyone, but at any point someone would like to/is available to play catch up, I would a)love the distraction and b)love to hear from you =)
Much love,
Steph
