Thinking about my life

eumeliaEver 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.

Date: 2005-12-09 04:31 pm (UTC)The Army was (and in many ways) still is very important in my personal development. In Israel you are required to draft in (I'm sure you can guess why) and girls are also drafted (into certain combat units as well) and it was the first time I really had to come to terms with how sheltered and spoiled I was.
In a lot of ways the Army opened my eyes to how I really can get along with people so different from me and that I am able to respect authority, disrespect it on the sly and have to balls to challege it.
