Reformulating the Plan

I'm really working on getting my creativity un-blocked. I feel really boring lately. All I do is go to school, sleep, and work. Woo-who! Fun life right now. And I miss my friends, I don't see them nearly enough if I get to see them at all. Not even cool...but aside from that, I've just been in a brain fog for what seems like 3 weeks or a month now. I can't even write poetry without rhyming at a second grade rate of AABB...Lord, save us all! It's really awful, I'm sorry if anyone actually reads this and has to put up with the decline in my writing skills. Usually during school I'm very contemplative and write good stuff, I've just been stuck. It's sad.

On another note, I've reformulated my plan for my continuing college years. I will have practically gone long enough to get a doctorate by the time I'm done, but oh well. I was officially offered admittance to the University of Minnesota this past...monday? I don't remember cause the last week has been blurring together. Anyways, I was told not to worry about getting in, but none-the-less, that makes one less thing to worry about. Now it's just taking that leap - it's either that or staying at Normandale which is pretty much not happening. For as much as I'm familiar with how things work there, I'm familiar with how things work there. Point taken? Let's hope. I just have an indecision problem because I fear I'll be wrong and it's not that being wrong is so hard, it's wasting time, effort, MONEY. I want to make the right, wisest decision for my future.

My reformulated plan goes as follows:
+ Spring of 2009 go to the U of M, majoring in Journalism with an emphasis in photojournalsim (it's a mouthful that I actually dislike telling people simply for the risk of stumbling unnecessarily over my words)
+ Summer possibly take summer classes
+ Fall 2009 Study Abroad in Paris through the U of M
+ Spring 2010...GRADUATE! Woot! Now, this is if I decide to do the work my butt off route and studying abroad works into that scheme...otherwise
+ Fall 2010 Graduate

After which, I'd like to attend either the Brooks Institute (maybe live in Santa Barbara for a bit?? sounds good to me) for only a few classes for experience, Hennipen Tech to get an associates in photography (backwards I know, but it makes sense if you wanna know why, ask), or to a Bible School/DTS with YWAM.

I never would've guessed that this would be my plan 4 years ago, when I hated school. Not that I don't now, just that I can't have just one of these things...unless God stears me in a different direction. Or I change my mind again, neither of which should ever shock anyone. So why are you reading this? I mean, yeah I write in hopes...but really? Haha, well, just gotta keep an up to date stance on my life and plans. So off to do some homework, even though I don't have school tomorrow...who am i?
