"Don't fight the river."
Tonight I had a pretty random conversation with my step dad and as when we do have in depth conversations, he was pissed. But we were talking, well he was, i was talking but he wasn't listening. Anyway, we got to talking about me wanting to travel the world, and i was thinking, that by the time i leave college people are going to be going to university and it will be a lot harder to get a job without a degree. Therefore i must assume that I am going to need a degree to get into the writing trade, especially with the amount of competition in the trade anyway. Damn it, why did i have to get myself involved with the competitive trade.
This thought led on to me thinking about traveling. How the hell am i supposed to be able to afford to go to Uni and travel. I need to be able to get a good job.
Which leads me back to my first point, i need to do good. With gcse's, a levels, and if i go to uni getting a good degree.
Life is about choices, and making those choices is hard. And there are many of them. Do i start saving to travel now, or do i work harder closer to the time? Do i work my ass off for the next couple of years, or do i take out a loan? When do i travel? After Uni? Before? During? I'm so confused i cant think.
So, i have decided, just to not think. I have got enough on my mind at the moment than to worry about what i am going to be doing in 4 to 5 years time.
Let me just get through this this year first, then maybe i will start thinking about other things. I'm going to get a job, or try when i reach 16 anyway, should be a lot easier.
Anyway, i'm thinking about where i actually want to go, because I'm not going to be able to cross every square mile of this planet as much as i would like to, i don't see it happening somehow.
I want to;
- ride over the great wall of China on a motor bike.
- shop in New York
- watch gashias dance in japan
- see the beauty of Ireland
- eat coconut in the Caribbean,
- party all night in Ibiza
- walk over New Zealand's mountains and volcanoes,
- stand and watch as Kangaroos jump around in Australia
...
I know that is not much as yet, but i plan to add to this list. I'm going to stop now, because i'm going to watch the end of this lovely and action packed film and chill. Because tomorrow, i need to write up my drama coursework. All in good fun.
Peace out, Georgie xx
