Reading charlie's journal

So here I am. The begining of the end of my last year of college. I'm a Computer Science major with an English minor, and frankly I don't want to do a whole lot with the piece of paper I'll be getting. My school is a small liberal arts college, and I haven't gotten all the specific training that I would have liked. Mostly because I found out last year that I like to design things visually - webpages, print layouts, stuff like that. But I don't know how to do any of that very well - and I couldn't have here even if I'd had four years. I think I might just get a good strong blue collar job and take more specific night classes - call it continuing education.

I don't have a specific job in mind. And today I don't think I really want a career. The plan right now is go somewhere this summer - not home. Why not home? Because home has expectations, the whole town has expectations, and I am out to do something else than what they know me as. Go to a city and get a job, get some real life experience.

Funny, when I came to college I wanted a career-type job, and now that I'm almost done, I don't want it anymore.
