I had an Epiphany at 2 in the morning. As usual.

I hadn't decided what to do with my life until tonight.

I'm serious. I hadn't decided until about 10 minutes ago, what on earth I was going to do with my life.

To tell you the truth.... I still don't really know what I want to do with my life, but I know know exactly how I want to get there.

It's really quite simple actually. So simple, my own mother had already figured it out for me - as if that's even a surprise. She had a good plan all along, and all I needed to do was accept that it was the best course for me.

::sigh::

Why on earth must my mother be right ALL the time? WHY?

I want to be a teacher. Who teaches theater. Now, to do this, I don't want to get a teaching degree, oh no. What I want to do is a Theater degree, specializing in Education. And couldn't you know it, Central Connecticut State University happens to have a Theater degree with a specialization in Education. I have to actually get there somehow though.... well, getting there isn't the problem, it's actually getting the MONEY to get there that I have to worry about. Not to mention all the little hiccups along the way... getting my driver's license ('cuz Virginia is dumb and so am I) finishing up at Piedmont, figuring out the Disney College Program, and all those other little pesky things in life. But I want to do it, and I want to have a reason, and a goal for going up to CT. And, believe it or not, I finally decided that I need to DO something with my life. As much as I like to believe in fairy tales, I need to accept that Prince Charming just isn't going to come around the corner, swoop me up in his arms, and take me back to his castle where we will have 3.5 kids, countless cats, and mice to do all the housecleaning. And I need to plan something other for my life.

So, I'm planning this. I've already started my FAFSA stuff, and looked at some scholarships on the College Board. I need to figure out a timeline, and contact Central. And I should probably inform someone at Piedmont.... but I've had enough ideas and revelations for one night. I'm going to sleep.... ::sigh:: I'm gonna be fun in English class today.
