So I don't want to be an engineer. I'm a freakin artsit so get over it. My mom is in the hospital cuz she just got
an operation, so I'm going to visit her soon, but before I did, I was thinking about dropping by and writing something, since
I hadn't since I left. I will start to work on the new format soon that you all can be happy. I just need some modivation...
something that has been very low in supply lately... oh well... I came up with a theme, so I'm happy... although it may get
changed depending on how something goes... Girl freakin rocks, and Boy is a sexy pimp... and well, I'm Punk, so it really
wouldn't work to say something about myself in 3rd person... so on with the show!
So they want me to be an engineer; everyone wants me to be an engineer. Just yesterday I got this huge talk from my dad
about how i should be an engineer. Don't get me wrong, it's a very interesting career, and maybe I should be an engineer,
but how can I just drop my goals in art for something that, while it may be more stable and make better money, is other than
what I've longed to do my whole life. Just this year I've felt that it was a more viable option, more attainable than ever.
But maybe I shoud just go with engineering, maybe it's a better course... but I'm an artist, I can't really change that. Maybe
computer animation, maybe graphic design, hell, maybe even politics or law. I don't know, and I don't have a lot of time until
I head off to college. It's not that I don't know what I want, it's just that everyone else wants something different for
me, everyone wants me to be something else. The number of voices I have talking to me everyday telling me what I should do:
"Oh, you should be an artist, you're soooooo talented." "You should be an engineer, there's a career in that. You can't find
a career in art." "Can you make money being artist?" "Why don't you ever think about your future?" Well, I do think about
my future... a lot, and quite honestly with everyone else bothering me about my future to, it's getting really insane. "What
are you going to major in?" "Where are you going to school?" "What did you get on your SAT's?" "When do you plan on applying?"
"You're going to Purdue, right?" "You have such good grades, why aren't you going into science or engineering?" "They're looking
for women to go into engineering; you should be an engineer." It's like this nonstop chatter outside of my head and then on
the inside of my head I'm considering it. *Well, maybe I should be an engineer.* *Art can be a pretty risky thing to get into*
*What if I can't find a job?* It's all this nonstop torture that continues to plauge upon me. And I have recieved two other
lectures since then, and they make me want to beat my head on a keyboard, which I have already done many times today, and
it didn't help that I already had a headache. Oh well, I'll get over it.

is a rarity in today's society, so watch out for the neanderthal to your left, right, front, and back.
