Tripping.
I love it when I meet someone, or go somewhere and instantly connect, and just fall in love. It reminds me that trusting your instincts is a good thing. You just let go and BAM you feel full of excitement and joy.
I recently went on a trip up to Portland, Oregon and I fell in love. It was just what I needed to open my eyes and get excited about going to school and exploring new places. I have been in a rut lately and going to Portland helped me see that.
I have been looking into schools in the area, and also looking inside myself to really find out what I want to go to school for. The truth is I love almost any subject. The problem is, most people go to school for something that they want to do after school, but I don't want to necessarily do everything that I want to go to school for.
I know that I love plants, and I love learning about them and using them in designs. I also love environmental sciences and natural sciences, but I love learning history, too. I love math and sciences and I especially love geography. I love photography and ceramics, too. So now how do I decide what to commit to? I thought I had decided on horticulture, but now I'm not sure, granted, I don't want to stop learning about plants, but is that what I want to put al my energies into for the next two and a half years... or longer. Do I want to work in a nursery, or as a consultant for landscapers? I don't know. Do I want to teach people about plants, or should I just decide to study something else?
So now that I have this awesome destination for this next chapter of my life in mind, how do I pick a school and subject?
I am very scared that I will be unhappy with my choice, but then again, I know that school will always be there and I can always go back, or change my mind mid way through it.
I am so excited to move on in my life right now but first thing is first... finish Saddleback. I only have two classes left to take there. Math and English. Woohoo, I guess.
So here goes nothing.
