So my goals as they stand

I was talking to a friend in Venezuela last night on MSN who has a goal of moving to Canada. He decided on Toronto because Vancouver is ridiculously expensive right now and the job opportunities aren't as good as Toronto. So I decided to point him toward Sheridan and we looked through the opportunities and all that.

I think I'm gonna go to Sheridan myself in the next year or two. I'm not making this decision because I think I need a school but because I need a long term goal that is tangible and not vague. Even if I don't go to Sheridan or any school in the end, at least I have something to work toward that just doesn't end in one fell swoop. I'm not one to plan one step at a time, I need to plan out everything. I never feel safe unless everything is planned out because then I start fretting about the next step.

It'll probably be in two years, but not because I'm concerned about not getting in but because there's a medical issue I want to get out of the way and it would complicate things if I went out to Sheridan still with it. So I want to take a year to adjust to a job and save up money for that just to get myself in the swing of things.

And who knows what will happen during that time. I might become more productive or find some good work within that time period and my plans might change.

So I'm gonna try to get a job in data entry. It seems like the only thing I could really do at present time and it pays a lot. If I'm lucky I can land a job that makes me 15$ an hour.

It's gonna be a bit weird because when I graduate I'll be 27-28 years old, but whatever. I wasn't mentally sound or prepared for this and dealing with your mental baggage is important. I did what I had to do and at least I got some pretty big gigs before getting to this point.

So that's where I stand.
