(no subject)
And time continues to run out...
This is one of the worst times of my life to be indecisive. As you all know I will be graduating from LSCC this semester, and I still haven't answered the simple question "What do I want to be when I grow up?"
Because I want to be so many things.
I want to be involved in both the music and movie industries in more ways than one. I'd like to write screenplays. I'd like to act. I'd like to direct. I'd like to be a musical director for a soundtrack. I'd like to write and perform music as well as record and produce it for other people. I'd like to write novels or stories. I'd like to get into video game design or programming, or even web page design. When you want to be all these things, and you're forced to go in only one direction, what do you do?
It's already too late for me to apply for University of Miami's music engineering program or UCF's film school. I looked into UCF's electrical engineering program, which sounded like something I might be interested in but it would require a lot of me. I struggled through Calculus in high school and don't even want to start thinking about Physics, and it requires a lot of both. I know I wouldn't make it through the program. I'd probably have a brain aneurysm. And for what? What do electrical engineers even do? All I know is that I like working with electronics, particularly audio/video equipment, but what type of careers are there in that? At least besides from working at a Best Buy or some shit...maybe a repairman?
I'm 99.99% sure about going to UCF though. I simply feel more comfortable going there than anywhere else. No matter what, I would have to attend a Florida University, such as UCF, FSU, USF, FAU, etc... so that I can continue to use my scholarship. UCF is closest to home yet far enough away to where I could still live my own life away from my family. I know a lot of friends who are going to UCF, either now or soon. It just seems like the best thing for me to do. I have until May to actually apply, but until then I need to set up a counseling appointment or something so I can figure out what I can or can't do because I keep getting more and more confused. My worst fear is digging myself into a hole that I can't get out of.
So here's a thought...UCF has the School for Digital Media and a Writing for Media program. I mean, I'll have to read into it when I'm not quite as frustrated, but it sounds like something that would fit me well. BUT, then there's the question of what types of doors it is going to open for me... will it help me in finding any particular job? Is it worth going for?
Once I've got this all figured out I'll be a much happier person.
