Happy New Year

So it's the brand new year.
Any special plans you have in 2009?

To be honest, I don't have any. I wish I could say different, but it's the same old, same old goals that I have. Go to school, get good grades, don't get in trouble, make it in today's world all by myself.
But I do want something more. I figured it's about time to figure out who I was. And I think I have found out some things about me. I like who I am, who I have become and I like how hard I can work to be able to accomplish each little thing that I need done.
If I am pressured to do something, I can get it done. If I have too much time to do something, I don't feel motivated, I don't feel like there is much point to doing it.
But if I am on a tight schedule and things need to get done on certain days, then I have no problem in getting them done.

This semester I had roughly 2 classes. Writer's Craft and Cooperative Education. Writer's Craft is already a really easy class, and COOP is being in a working environment. In both classes, it didn't measure up to being a lot of work, I mean, in school, I only had projects that I simply had to use my creativity. Which, comes fairly easy. In COOP, I talk to people and once and a while serve things. There is no challenge, there is no difficulty, there isn't really anything that could serve as motivation, other than the smiles of the ones I visit from time to time.

Next semester, I am looking forward to because there will be challenges, there will be motivation and there will be a chance for me to have some kind of constant deadline.
People believe that I won't be able to work under the pressure. Sure, sometimes it's a little inconvienient, but I believe that it will be a positive change. It will give me an idea of how I feel working for a purpose, after all, I do graduate this year.

If no one believes that I can do this, I think that the only person that is going to have to prove them wrong is me. :)
