Reading POWF's journal

So I've decided to go to college. I thought I never would. But now as I sit here in front of my computer at work, it dawned on me. If I dont go do something, I'm going to be doing this for the rest of my life. I'm going to be like the other disenchanted 30/40/50 yr olds in my office. I can't have that. The only reason I am happy most of the time at work is because I'm young, and I almost feel important doing some of the things I do.

I need culture in my life. At my job I know if I stay here I will do great. I am able to move foward here and thats good, but I would be only moving foward doing the same general thing. I need change, I need challenges! Im getting bored!

Whats good is that I know I'll always have this job to lean on. I'm going to continue working throught getting a degree, so if I am unable to find a job in the feild I'm studying right away, at least I know I have a good paying job for the time being. I think the reason I did'nt go to college right after highschool was that I was afraid of being broke. I needed monetary security, but now that I have it I can relax and pursue a degree in which I'm intrested in.

Even if I don't get a job in the feild (by the way, my major is going to be anthropology, minor philosophy) I will still have gained the knowledge...I'm the kind of person that always needs to be learning something...I cannot remain stagnant in one place doing the same thing over and over again.

Nothing is set in stone yet...I'm going to shoot for fall semester just so I can save more money, become more secure...but I have this feeling inside me that just wants to jump up and do it! Hopefully this isnt a passing feeling and it stays with me :)

We should of brought a bag of rocks....
