Her: You know, even though I think your brain tries to get in the way, you really belong in school forever.
Me: Yeah...but, what does a lifetime student DO?
Her: They teach.
So, there's that...
I've been giving seriously thought to going to grad school, at UWM, after I get my BFA. I don't know what it is, but I just don't like the outside world. I don't want to work a 9 to 5 job. I never did. I never went to college to become a stand-up, responsible member of society. I went there to stave off the hideous encroaching thing called, adulthood. I've been honest about that for a while now. But, not wanting to leave college, and not wanting to grow up are two different things. I feel like I'm making some amount of progress (slow as it may be) at being more responsible with things like money, and I certainly have been missing less apointments and deadlines recently, that's a good sign. So, I guess what I am realizing is that, I no longer want to stay in school because I'm afraid of the real world. I want to stay because...I want to stay. I guess...
All of this is, of course, dependent on my performance the next three semesters...but...you know...
Something to think about...
