Thinking about my life

[eumelia]

Ever since I was discharged from the Army I've obviously a lot of time on my hands, some that I've used wisely (transcribing my poems, going to the gym, dating etc.), some... not so much (spending too much time on-line, probably).
That time has also been used to what I want to do with my life... and I've decided that either this year (or next depending on what happens during the coming months) to study English lit and probably "regular lit" as well at University... it took me a while to realize that this is what I want to do, because I've been so indecisive the past two years (the army really fucks you up) and that my true passion in writing (fiction, non-fiction and poetry) studying Lit is the best for me.

Where and when is still to be decided.
How? My parents has the foresight to open up a fund for me to use for studying, plus the money the army is supposed to hand over for school and stuff.

I feel good writing this down for almost all to see.

I'm happy you have such a clear goal in mind... mine is so vague I may as well have fog-for-brains.
I mean, being an author is all well and good, but what kind, what genre, what style... blah, complicated and too much to think about ;)

Is American History boring because there isn't a lot of it, or is it just not interesting to you personally?

A little bit of both. The U.S. has only been around for a little over two-hundred years. Most of American history is very one-sided and male oriented. I find that there isn't anything in American history that really interests me. Also, there are a ton of American history professors out there. I like to be different ;)

As the Emperor was supposed to have said "Vive Le Differance!"

hehehe..

And yes, I'd be more than happy to make a banner for you. What do you want on it?

Thanks... I'm not sure yet, but I'll get back to you on that as soon as I think of something.

A little off topic... I want to make my Journal Friends Only and wondered of you could (only if you don't mind and have the time of course!) make a banner for me?
Thanks.
