Jumping the Shark

I feel like I’m outgrowing many aspects of my life. It’s not as if I’m a terribly unsatisfied person, I just feel as if there’s a lot of room for growth. One of those things is definately school. It’s a shame I didn’t realize how much I enjoyed learning until I was in college. If I had come to that conclusion earlier, I would’ve done much better in high school and would be in a much better situation now. Alas, I can only look upon my moderately good academic performance over the years and be thankful it’s not any worse than it is. I’ll be graduating in a year and even though it’s a semester late than what it should be, it feels odd that I’m almost done.

I feel as if there’s still a lot to be gained from school. There’s so much I could still learn and so many fields I’ve yet to even explore. For a short time, I wished that I could go to school and get paid to do so, just so I could support myself by learning. Unfortunately, I’m not the kind of genius that gets to do that. Anyway, I have a very good idea about what I want to do with my life after school, although I still need the time I have left to properly plot a course toward my goal. As I’ve said several times (if not in this blog then in class) I want to be a writer of transgressional fiction and comic books. According to my plan, the latter will likely be accomplished before the former. Novels are hard to write. I’ve learned that much in college. They take a lot of time that I won’t likely have right out of college. A job writing comic books is right up my alley though, as it will make up for the years I’ve spent daydreaming instead of paying attention in class and doing my homework. Really, I just want to get to it. Get to writing. Start my career. With so much clutter in my life right now, it’s hard to do so. That’s why I just want school to be done with.
