Broadening Horizons

I feel like I’m pumping diversity in my schedule constantly lately. I’m also, somehow, being more optimistic than I usually am. I see everything falling into place and tonight is just one of those nights that I’m really thankful that it’s all happening.

School has been so great so far this semester. I now have my driver’s license, so doing my mentor visits for senior project will be like 30 times easier. Everything is looking up so much schoolwise. I talked to Mrs. Sugden this last week about college a little bit. I haven’t been reading into physics much lately, but I have been reading. I talked to her about maybe majoring in math instead or maybe applied math and she kicked my butt into gear. She just told me there’s a lot higher demand for physicists and that I’m more built for it. She told me, “Remember this conversation when you’re being nominated for the Nobel Prize for physics.” Haha… so I’m going to take Mrs. Sugden’s advice and stick towards physics. All the other classes are going great.

The next thing is just my attitude. My attitude is becoming (somehow) more positive. I feel so free. My faith has just brought me to this point where I have such confidence in the way I want to live. My main goal is to never be employed…. ever. Now, that doesn’t mean I won’t have a job. But I won’t look at it as a job, and I’ll most likely be my own boss… or I’ll be doing something in creative thought… with science and what not. The verb “employer” in French literally means “to use”. So, you can see my attitude towards being employed.

The final thing that makes me gleam lately is a little more personal. I was on the phone a while tonight talking about all this and among less serious conversations with a certain… person, so don’t think I’m some kind of freak that just bores a girl (oops… did I say girl? dangit… I gave away my secret) with depth and seriousness. As I said above, I am free. Of course, I’m too indirect about this. Whatever. I guess I’ll just leave this topic open-ended to the reader’s interpretation.

    Your blog posts keep getting better and better. I didn’t know ‘employee’ meant ‘to use’… thanks for teaching me something new… you seem to be doing that more and more! Last night I even watched a show on Black Holes and the Event Horizon… you’re slowly waking up those ol’ brain cells in my head.
