What Do I Want to Be When I Grow Up?
Jul. 13th, 2009 11:23 amWell, first off, I made an offer on Apartment 3N this morning, and it was accepted. Now I've got to do...everything else. Freaking out. Both good and bad.
Anyway, on with the post...
What do I want to be when I grow up? As a kid, the idea that I'd find ANYTHING that I could spend a life time doing was always completely beyond my comprehension. My pattern for interests is pretty fixed: I get into something, do it like crazy, then get distracted, and move on. Now that I'm older, I've seen that some of these interests cycle (I'll sew like a madwoman for 6 months then not do it at all for a year; every three years or so I feel utterly compelled to watch all of Star Trek DS9 again; I'm now more into the Civil War than at any point since I was about 14, to name a few that I know have come back.)
( Some History )
( The Present )
( The Options: Science, Hands on, and Others, Oh My! )
Anyway, I think it's about time to try to see if the insomnia has passed yet. I think I'm pretty freaked about this housing thing. But I also bet that if I get in to bed and close my eyes, I'll sleep. I'll make this post public tomorrow when I've made sure I haven't missed anything. ;)
So, I did think of another angle to approach this, and it needs a conclusion, so I'm continuing!
( Aptitudes )
( Some Reflections on the Choices )
Anyway, I'm waiting for no less than 3 important people to call me back, so for now I'm gonna play around some more with the internet, and go from there...
