Lately, I've had quite a few new and different experiences and I'm becoming an adult. I've decided to begin blogging for fun and to meet other bloggers. I don't like giving out my real name over the Internet so I'm going by the name Neho Blossoms. Some part of that alias is my real name.
As a first year university student, I'm very unsure of what career I want to pursue. I've thought about becoming a doctor, an international developer, among other things but those jobs will not allow me to have the lifestyle I desire - to live in one place and not always be on-call for the hospital. I want to have children and take a few years off to raise them until they start school full-time.
This past year, many story ideas have come to mind. These ideas both excite and inspire me to get creative and I just itch to start writing. School is what holds me back from dropping everything and just concentrate on writing. It's strange because I haven't written a story for fun for years but lately, ideas just keep on coming to me. Writing full-time would be a dream come true but to tell the truth, the first and last time I've written a story on my own all the way to the end was in the second grade. I just can never finish my stories. I end up getting bored of it part way through. So becoming a writer would be unrealistic for that reason and also because writers usually don't make much of a salary and I don't want to have to rely on someone else or welfare for income.
This new year, I hope to find out how I want to live my life and what I plan on doing in the future. It's scary to be making choices in school that will affect what career I may be eligible for when I don't even have a clue of what profession I want to have. I also want to become much more organized and be able to follow through any daily task efficiently. I still haven't had my first job so I'm planning on working in the spring and be able to shoulder more responsibility.
I've given up making new year's resolutions since I never go through with them. Instead, I come up with some things I plan on experiencing in the new year.
I suppose it's easier to make a list of plans and changes I want to follow through in 2009:
- get my first job
- do well in school
- get my driver's license
- learn how to swim
- save money for a trip to Tokyo two years from now
- travel Canada and the US a bit in the summer
- join a few clubs at my school
- continue my blog and meet a few online friends
