October's gone, November's here to stay.

Busy busy past month. Between my first-ever college midterms, Treasure Island Year 3, Halloween, and a few trips back home, I rarely even had a chance (or desire) to sit down and type out a blog post.

But now that October has passed, I feel that I should catch up with the internet.

Dear internet,

I missed you.

Sincerely,
me

What's on my mind lately you ask? My future. Where I am in life. All of that.

I think I can blame the first semester of GE classes for such thinking, because in the past week I dipped my feet into other options for school. Specifically the Academy of Art/Art Institutes of SF. I'm bored right now at GE and feel like I should be working on something I want to do.

That is, until I slept on the thought and woke up the next day to realize that even if I was at an art school, god knows if I'd want to be there setting in stone what I want to do in life. A great Swedish man reminded me yesterday that no one has any idea what they want to do at 18.

It's just that when you're 18 and bored with what you're doing, you start to think a lot about what you want to do. The same Swedish man also talked to me about his career choices. He finished school and started a career with his chosen major, only to realize that he didn't want to be stuck in that field for the rest of his life. Thus, he went back to school for a different focus.

In short, I need to slow down and realize that - HOT DAMN - I'm only 18 and have thousands of options still in front of me. So for now, I think I'll stick it out at the ol' SF State and get my GE two years out of the way before I reconsider switching schools.

Cheers to November, I need this to be a good month.
