Oh My Life, My Future, My Disaster

Well, I’m completely excited about 346 and my English class, even if I suck at them both. I wish I could say the same about my other 3 classes. They don’t interest me in the least. I have no desire to learn about illustration, and my interest in multimedia has basically diminished. Minor problem because my major is interactive multimedia. Every time I approach a project, I treat it like print design. The motion seems worthless to me. When all the elements come in, my layout is pretty tight. I think that’s a sign I’m in the wrong place. I don’t really want to do print design either though :-/ Kind of a need for illustration skills there too. I love 346 because it’s all made. I just play with it. It’s the same with photography being cooler than drawing. Why draw/animate it when you can photograph/film it? :) Only problem with my new dreams are lack of jobs in the area…I don’t even know what job I’d want. An editor for music videos, a compositor for motion pictures…hmm nothing like that around here :-/ I can’t leave home on my own. I just can’t. I think I could survive away from my family…email/phones/IM work wonders but I’d miss “home”. Just being at school drains me…when I go home, it’s so rejuvenating—the woods, open fields, animals…the city would destroy my spirit I fear :( I should leave with Nishant, but I don’t know what I’d do. I’d feel safe with him though, but of course, there’s no guarantee of us getting along this well forever. I can’t live with him when decides to get married or something :-/ *sigh* everything is going too fast. I’ve made some poor choices, but I have to take the good with the bad. I do like parts…of course, the parts that aren’t emphasized. I don’t even know if grad school can save me.
