Random1

It's 10:26 at night, I have the urge to blog, I'm fighting off a cold--maybe it's in its' last stages!--and I have no actual subject. But I still want to write! Oh, to hell with it; I'll just write what comes to me!

I'm titling this Random1 because, as I said, there's no real subject this, and I'm sure I'll want to do this again. It's not completely random, and I'm not about to just write the first thing that comes to my head--don't want to do that. I was thinking about blogging about... The best way to describe it is that it's about how I got where I am now religion-wise, and then I thought, "Nah, I'll do that some other time." Maybe when I have some more blogs done. And then I wanted to do an old story of mine that I was working on, but then I looked and realised how little I actually have of it. About that--I actually have a couple of ideas about it, but I can never really seem to get them written...

I was going to go on about this sort of thing--that story, what's it about, ideas I have for other ones, and stuff like that, but then it hit me: I'm going to be attending the University of Arizona in a couple of weeks, and I'm both excited and scared--yes, I know, everyone goes through those feelings. Part of it is simply the transition from Pima College--even though I'll be taking one class there--to the U of A. Sure, I'm not completely unfamiliar with it. I guess it's mostly just the fear of the unknown--how different will it be, can I get through this... And then what? Where do I go from here?

As I said in my previous blog, I'm going for a Political Science degree. The truth is, I can't even really remember where I got that idea. Right now, I can't so much point at a certain event or person that made me think, "Yeah, that sounds like what I should do!"; it's likely more of a case where a bunch of different things came together over a period of time which brought me here. First off, I've been interested in History for basically as long as I can remember, but I knew I didn't want to be a History Teacher--I didn't think I could handle that--and working as, say, a Curator at a museum eventually just sounded interesting and boring at the same time. And yet, I couldn't help but feel like I wanted to do something relevant to history. While I was in Pima, I quickly figured out that Acting, while a decent hobby (if I could ever be bothered to get back into it), should stay a hobby. With all due respect to Business majors--I know that I know a few people who are--, as stable as it probably is, and as tempting as it sounded (if only because I thought I could do that), in the end I just thought, "Do I really want to be doing this for the rest of my life?" and answered, "No, probably not." I was already interested in politics, along with history, and I was looking to do something that would help out the community. I guess that's where it all came together.

For New Years' Eve, I'll probably just stay home. There's nothing going on at church--there was a party last time--so... I have no idea what I'll do.
