Using My Time

Change of Plans...

Well, it turns out that I am going to be working until the 28th of December, and going off to school, or “Academy” as they call it, on the 2nd of January. And, it's official. I gave my 4 week notice Monday night, and I called the Swift Trucking Monday, and have officially stated my intent to go to their “academy” on the 2nd, so basically all that is left is for me to go.
I'll admit, I'm a little scared. A change of job, a change of routine, a change of life. What's not to be scared of? I am throwing away a job with benefits, that pays about $11.50 an hour, and with possibility of promotion. But, I think this is the area for me, at least for now.

Speaking of which, I want to live a long, long time. And I'm not speaking of 90-100 years. I'm speaking hundred and hundreds of years. And, no, I'm not afraid of dying. Actually, in a perverted sort of way, I am actually sort of looking forward to dying, as Peter Pan said, “Dying is a great adventure”. Although, contradictally, I want to live forever because I want to know everything. Although, I would of course have to travel back in time, because I want to know everything about the past as well. Basically I have an insatiable thirst for knowledge.

At the moment, I want to be a trucker, Police officer, college professor (in Economics, Psychics, Chemistry, Biology, History, and Linguistics), Firefighter, Military officer, doctor, and Politician). Basically I at the moment I don't want a career, I want different experiences. At the moment, at the tender age of 23, I can't imagine a career I would enjoy. Because a career would involve live long commitment, and my curiosity just couldn't stand a life long commitment.
