Career Day...

So, not a lot has happened since my last update. I really need to find a way to keep things going because the last attempt to spice things up in here really didn’t help. If anybody has any suggestions, I’d be glad to hear about them! Anyway, what has happened since my last visit? Not a lot:

• Last Friday I swung by the record shop and I picked up my copy of ‘**** Fall Out Boy Live in Phoenix’. I know, I know I would wait, but I was asking for it in this tiny record store and they asked me if I would order it and off course the weak spirit that is my own said yes. I’m hyper stoked about seeing it. Revelations and such, I know I’m repeating myself but those dudes ARE truly amazing. Now I’m still waiting for ‘My heart will always be the B-side to my tongue’. It’s taking a lot longer than expected but I received a call this Wednesday telling me the order is still ehm… ordered… and they will get it to me ASAP.
  
• Our school is moving. When I chose my school in particular I thought it was awesome that it was like so, very tiny. It’s like… 3 floors. But they decided we needed more space and told us they are going to work together with one of Brussels’ universities. I’m not sure on how I feel about moving. I liked our building. I’m not sure if I’ll like our new dozen of buildings. It’s just so big, and so many people. On the other hand I’ll have a lot more space to avoid certain people, and there are more people to begin with. Maybe I’ll finally find people with similar interests and/or thoughts, other than the friends I already hang out with. It will be far more interesting for sure.

Now for a completely different topic: careers. What the **** do I want to do with my life after college? I have no clue actually. Basically I’m taking these courses because I really want to, but also to have a strong base to fall back on. Although I really like translating and interpreting and stuff, I really love languages, they fascinate me… I’m just not sure if that is what I want to do with the rest of my life. Somehow I still want to make some difference in the world today, not by actively fighting crime or solving mysteries, donating hundreds of dollars to foundations, but by doing something I really like. I want to do something interesting, something that changes every day. Several things have crossed my mind though; I really like being funny and all so sometimes I go: “Maybe I should go for stand-up comedy.” Because people really laugh at my jokes or funny sayings, but maybe they’re just faking it, I don’t know. What I also would like to do is write music, but I don’t have the face to be on television or the charisma for it so maybe I should become a songwriter: do the things I like, writing music and lyrics without having to actually play shows and dodge the tabloids. Maybe what I really want to do is make movies, bring back good horror. Make people crap their pants with fright. I am absolutely aware of the fact that all of this sounds kind of, pretentious. Don’t get me wrong I’m not claiming that I can do any of this. But one has to start somewhere and how will I know if I actually suck or do well if I don’t try. It’s just a dream of mine, and I for one am not willing to give those up that easily. If you give up your dream before you even start realising it, you’ll never know. That counts for everybody. I think that if you want to be something, anything, and you actually have the talent to be it, or you don’t but you want to work at it, you should go for it. I mean if Mika had just given up at the first try and left things the way they were without fighting for what he wanted to do, we wouldn’t be shouting it out to Big Girls all around the world wouldn’t we? If FOB had given up trying after being blown off by some record labels, I wouldn’t be where I am right now. Music makes me happy, and I want to do something in that field. If it works out at least.

Wowzers, I’ve been going on for way too long. And still I don’t feel like I’ve said everything I wanted to. Ahh well… I’ve given you guys plenty to read and laugh about. :) I’ll leave you guys at this!

The road outside my house is paved with good intentions…
