WOW! I just had a lifechanging dream...i don't like placing stock into dreams, generallly because of the obvious reasons, troubled sleep, they're out of your control, could just be some bad enchiladas. But it was weird and crazy and you know what? I don't want to be an aerospace engineer. ANd you know what else? I don't have to apply to MIT if i dont want to. And it is just the most liberating feeling right now to know that i never did want to be an aerospace engineer. Ever. I was disillusioned into it, actually, regrettably, i believed that was what i wanted to do. I don't know why. I thought i was interested in it, when in reality, it was space. Of course im interested in science, but in theories and thought, not math probelms and mechanics. How could i have been so blind?!? Oh well, at least now i know so that when i would have been up at some polytechnic institute, i wouldn't be thinking "oh jeez, how did i let this happen?" It is truly amazing to those ppl who know what they want to do. Cause in all honesty, i don't know. I have no clue. Wow, that is so relieveing to say. I'm tired of ppl tellling me i should have the rest of my life mapped out because blahditty blah. IT's ridiculous. I'm 17, im not even a legal adult and i'm supposed to know what to do with the rest of my life when im not even 1/4 into it? But to those ppl who believe they know what they want i say God bless. But im glad that of everything, i at least know what i don't wnat to do. I got different reactions to my "i don't want to be an engineer and i don't think i will apply to MIT" reasoning. ERica wanted to rip my head off. Tina was real understanding. And my mom, she was glad that i wasn't lying to myself anymore. Hmm. I don't know where to go or what to do now.
