D.1 School
Career:
The two careers I would like to pursue are Artist and Novelist. Sadly, both these are more or less freelance and do not have set payments nor necessary schooling. It’s more based on skills than how many degrees one has. However, it is suggested one takes some postsecondary courses in art/English if one wants to succeed in those fields.
If I stay in school I can achieve a high school and maybe (eventually) postsecondary education. This will make it easier to get a job.
Mom graduated high school and my dad didn’t. Dad didn’t because he was failing all his classes but art.
5 things that will help me stick it out in school:
1. I’ll go to class
2. I’ll do my homework
3. I’ll try my hardest
4. I will not over work myself and become stressed
5. I’ll put grades before my social life
Healthy ways to beat stress!
1. Drawing.
2. Writing my novels.
3. Listen and sing to loud music alone.
4. rant. Just type out a huge rant.
School stress rant:
I’m not so much stressed with school as I am my social life—I mean, I’m passing everything and doing fairly well at the moment. Why would I stress about it? Okay. So, maybe the whole work experience part that’s coming soon is a little unnerving, however I’m sure I’ll catch up. I think I’m ahead right now!
Oh, but school is really cutting into my novel writing time and there was a contest this month! 50,000 words. I have 9 days to finish it… I still have about 17,000 words to go. In 9 days. That’s almost 2000 words a day! Sure, it doesn’t sound like much but I still need to edit it. Read it through and make the necessary changes. Plus the final fight scene will take me so long! I’m terrible at them! Oh and the romance scene… not looking forward to having to write that too.
It appears I have strayed form the subject of school. Of course have.
I ranted about all of two things. Frankly, I don’t have control over the work experience but I do over the contest. I could very well just hurry up with the writing, I guess. Or give up. I mean, there is such a minuscule chance of actually getting mine published…
Oh dear. I am supposed to schedule times to relieve stress time???
Drawing-writing-blogging-singing-listening to music-typing rants-ranting out loud to myself.
I draw and/or write all the time at home. It’s a constant thing. I also blog all the time too.
I blog about my writing and add my drawings to the post while listening to load music and singing.
I can’t schedule these things! They’re a constant thing.
Same with the rant out loud to myself. I do that about everything though—once I told myself facts about the Russian revolution/the Tsar’s only son (Alexis) for an hour for no reason at all. I don’t have much of a social life so all my time is myself time… and stress releasing time, I suppose.
Time finder:
Watch less tv: 0.5 hours this week / I normally don’t watch tv, though.
Computer: 59.5/I don’t even know what I would do with my time. But I could save so much.
Say no with a smile: I don’t keep record of how many hours I do things for people. Though, I have a few art commissions I’ve done this week…. But I’m being paid so I ain’t saying no to that! Ahahahaha!
Procrastinating: I’m sure I spent my entire life procrastinating.
….I would total this but I gave no real answers.
What I do well… I guess I stay away from TV?? I’m pretty terrible at everything else, though.
What makes me motivated in school
The fact that if I fail mom will kill me.
The fact that I don’t want to end up being job and homeless.
Plus… I really wish to be a better writer one day.
What I learned about myself
THE SITE WOULDN’T WORK. I LEARNED NOTHING.
Finding your voice:
When I was little I wanted to be a veterinarian…and a teacher, too. I’ve obviously changed my mind since then.
Things I want to learn:
It would be cool to learn archery or how to read palms/cards. Also, I would love to learn how to actually use black magic, as weird as that is. I’ve tried before and I simply can’t do it—mind you, black magic isn’t actually real so it is to be expected. Whoops.
Top 3 things and my plan to achieve them!
I honestly won’t do any of them. Archery would cost money and I’m the cheapest person I know, I could just google how to read cards/palms and store it away in my vault of useless information, and the black magic thing is dumb. Plus, I don’t have a cult following and a lot of the spells need like 4 people, a billion candles and a truck-load of salt.
If I knew I couldn’t fail I would…
I would become an artist and a novelist. That’s honestly all I would do. Those are the two things I love and am actually
okay at, after all.
