It wasn't until a week ago that something dawned on me.
This something was, I HAVE NO STINKING CLUE what i am going to do with my life. I was sitting in the university presentation and everyone around me was filling in what program that they wanted to go into and I thought I had my mind set on something, but I think I thought wrong. At first I was thinking something science, then I thought english, the came the thoughts of just biology, and last but not least came the thought of SAVE ME!!
Leaving highschool, and having to literally begin my life, scares the crap out of me. Not knowing where to even start makes me a little bit uncomfortable. Furthering my education always sounds so good in "theory" but once reality hits me my gut twist into knots.
The crazy stories that make their way back from universities have the power to both terrify you and inspire you. As a grade 12 student you hear the all the crazyness about professors, assignments, and lectures. But on the plus side you hear about the new friendships and fun you have once you get comfortable in your school. Although I am terrafied of going off to the netherlands of university, I think that once I decide what I want to do and become dedicated to it. I will have the time of my life.

Hi Jen,
ReplyDeleteI stopped marking because I thought you might like a chance to run some of your more recent posts through the spellcheck and to give them one more read through.
Your entries show significant development already and I'd love to see you in the 16/20 + range, but it is impossible to justify more than a 15/20 if there are more than a few typos.
You may think I'm being overly fussy, but I guarantee you, your professors will be even more picky.

I wouldn't stress too much over this. I have this theory that everyone eventually finds their way. Maybe you start in English but then switch to Biology if you discover it's not your thing... or vice-versa. You'll get there eventually.
ReplyDeleteAlso, if you number your journals it helps me tremendously.
ReplyDeleteFor now, I'll put in 13/20 for journals 5-8. Let me know if you expand on them or you may decide to just get on with your life and do a first rate job on journals 9-12.
