What do you want to be when you grow up?

Lately I've been thinking about that famous question you're asked whilst growing up "What do you want to be when you grow up?"I've given many answers over the years and yet this year, is the only year that truly matters. Then again I could always just change majors if I hate my decision....

Here are some of my answers:

Age 5: Famous
Age 7: A Farmer
Age 9: A penguin/potato
Age 11: A Journalist
Age 13: A Singer
Age 14: A Zoologist/Vet
Age 15: An Historian
Age 16: A Translator
Age 17: A Lawyer

I'm sure somewhere along the line actor, author and horse-rider have also made an appearance as well as an abundance of other careers that may or may not be plausible....Potato? Where's the income in that?

I guess whenever we are asked that question, we don't seriously think about it. I always word-vomit Lawyer because it sounds impressive and at job interviews they're always going to hire the Lawyer over the clerk, so I guess I've gotten used to saying it and not actually considering what it means. That's a long time to study...A long time. Not that I mind but then if I get to the end of it and hate it? I guess I'll have studied German, and hopefully Spanish if I ever get around to it...Meh, we'll leave the big decisions for future Giorgia to make.

So I finally got around to doing homework. It took six weeks but for the first time all year I'm finally up to date. I didn't even start the year up to date! I guess it's better late than never though and certainly it's better to hand in four weeks worth of history homework in one shot than not at all....still don't think she was impressed though.

Tomorrow I have my meeting with the Study Plan Man. Not sure what the official title of his job is but none the less, he will tell me how to become a farmer, or a journalist or a lawyer or whatever I decide and whilst he's at it he will make a big plan for me on how to study and generally hate life. I hate plans, they limit imagination...I mean, how else am I supposed to spend two and a half hours on Facebook a night? Fairly certain he won't timetable that in for me...

Hopefully he'll play nice and let me have some random blogging time amongst "5-9pm study" ....oh I look forward to it.

Hope all is well.
