Sometimes I wonder if I'm supposed to be in college.
I usually wonder this:
When I'm doing something I love that is not school related (such as missions)
When I'm in a particulary boring class/class that has nothing to do with my life (Speech)
When I'm having roommate issues
And toward the end of each semester, especially Spring
So right now, I'm wondering if I'm supposed to be in college.
I want to go into full time missions. There's a really good chance that I'll be moving to Trinidad sometime in the next 5 years. Why not just do it now?
I don't technically need a degree to do what I want to do.
Here's why I'm not dropping out:
There's a part of me, that loves learning. It's the nerdy part of me, and it's bigger than I usually let on.
I'm not here to get a degree so I can make money, and I'm not jaded enough *yet* to think that I'm wasting my time getting an education.
It's preventing me from having to "grow up".
I want to become a therapist because I think that I can help people better if I have training. Especially people, and especially children, in Trinidad who wouldn't have access to a trained therapist.
I'm a competative person, and at this point I'm competing against myself to see if I can do it.
So that's it.
7 weeks until summer.
I can make it.

yea therapists!
i had that thought too. not going to trinidad, but going somewhere and just doing what i do.
unfortunately, having a degree, at least in the u.s., is a prereq for effectively providing therapy, whether its physical, individual, marital, etc.
as long as college is a means to a specific end, not an end to itself, i think it's worth it.
SEVEN WEEKS.
poooooooo.
word of the day: inemang
HAHA.
