Life Plan

So i've been thinking a lot lately about where my life is going, and I've decided to create a 'lil road map to put me in a good position, and to refer to incase I got lost in this crazy world.

Here she is;

I am going to take ten paces to the left, and then... scratch that. I am going to work my lil buns off this summer and save a ridiculous amount of money. This summer I was going to go to all the concerts I want to go, and relax a bit more and love life instead. BUT I have decided against that, and am going to go in slave labour mode instead. Now, I need to save copeious amounts of money because after this next coming school year, which will indeed be my last (and I will have a degree!), I plan on quitting my sometimes hell-ish job and throwing myself totally into the unknown. The unknown being leaving here and volunteering elsewhere - anywhere in the world! For four entire months. Now, some may say i'm just caught up in the excitement of Charity, as I went to a really intense charity event last night for invisible children. But, I don't think so. Always in highschool I wanted more out of this little old life I lead. I was always interested in environmental and politcal issues, but somewhere along the way I got lost. Which is why I should have had my road map out. I thought for sure I was going to do something that really truely mattered. That I was going to speak to people about things I deeply care about, and motivate people to do the right things. But where did I end up? I ended up in a fast paced, high stress environment that is so corrupt that its insane. I work for people who just don't give a fuck about you, and think that you are just another number in their establishment. I get yelled at by my boss, my equals, my subordinates, and the customers. All for what in the long run? So someone can have a nice little meal? How about I take all of my knowledge and heart and try to feed people who don't have any food, rather than some large casino gambling asshole who thinks he's top shit? I really need more from this life. Which brings me to part two, or three, or four or whatever it is now.

Let's recap. Working at Souless for one more year, and I have one more year of school left till I have my Bachelor of Applied Business in Hospitality Operations Management, and then I QUIT and throw myself into 4 months of volunteering for whichever cause I feel needs me the most (and that I am most passionate about). THEN after those four months, I have decided to go back to school for a post grad certificate program in Special Events Management. Thus, giving me a degree and a more specialized edge. After I graduate, I will then be ready to hit the work force at full speed. I will have had my time off by travelling the summer before while volunteering, and I'll be at a great age to really get started. Maybe with my special events I'll be able to throw some events that really, really matter in the grand scheme of things. We'll see, I haven't gotten THAT far yet. But I really think I am on the road to success. It's a lot to pack into two years and to expect of myself. But I have really high expectations for myself, and believe that I can perservere.

I will be happy, and I will make a difference.

You'll see.
