Woe Is Me

[trickykitty]

I hate my job. I know it like the back of my hand, but I absolutely despise it.

Why can't I ever be content to stay somewhere? I manage to put up with something for about a year and then I just get completely bored. I have to move on. Some people find this strange in me because I tend to be so damned patient and amicable.

I miss flying. I still don't want to be a pilot.

Maybe I should take up cooking. When I was looking at schools I was going back and fourth between the pilot school and a culinary school. Obviously pilot school won out in that decision.

This can't be healthy for my long-term retirement outlook.

I keep thinking that I need to stop and figure out who I am. Maybe this is it, though. Maybe I'm destined to throw myself into the flames on the regular occasion.

This place is killing me slowly.

I miss myself sometimes. Now is one of those.

Technically speaking, I already have a minor in business (the result of following an accounting degree that became horribly boring). I have 5 math classes and a thesis class left to get a Bachelor of Science, but only the thesis class left to get the Bachelor of Arts. I'm trying to work out which way to go. It's been drilled into my head that I should go the full way with school, but many things have changed over the years. I'm now sort of scared of a life that hasn't been pre-packaged and handed to me. High school didn't teach me about finding my own way because the honors curriculum is pretty much laid out for you. Just add water, or in this case a couple of easy-A electives. Needless to say, I'm scared of not following the school path that has always been expected of me.

Don't be scared of following the obvious path - it won't be anything like what you expect anyway :)

I'd say you should finish what you started; I have a few friends who went all the way through primary school, high school, uni, then with like 4 subjects or one semester to go said "screw this, I've had it". It seems silly to me to spend 15 years studying and get so close to completing a degree, then giving up with six months to go.
