So much to do, so little time. I’ve been accused of having a short attention span, and I’m beginning to think that’s right. I keep coming up with cool things to do or learn, and I keep leaving them unfinished as I find yet more new and exciting things to do and learn.
The big excitement this week was the addition of a new family member, Lady Costalot Doolittle. I spent the better parts of Thursday evening, Saturday, and Sunday goofing around at my parent’s house with this little terror.
Also been making more changes to the website, mostly cosmetic, but still fun and interesting. Sadly, all the random playtime accumulated, and I managed not to get a thing done that I had originally planned for the weekend. >sigh< I guess I’ll have to start cramming things into the evening if I ever plan to get my Linux server setup.
I’ve also started giving serious thought to getting back to finish my degree. The big question is how I plan to go about doing that. I’ve semi-decided to try taking all of my copious high school, advanced placement, and early college credit (which did me no good at Caltech) as well as my coursework from tech itself to see if I can qualify for one or more majors through the University of Wyoming. My only real reservation is not knowing whether I can get such a degree, and later on decide to complete my torture at Tech and get the B.S. (so aptly named) from there. Unfortunately, I don’t currently have the monetary wherewithal to go back to Tech, nor am I certain enough in my control over the Bipolar issue to make that leap of faith.
Sometimes it’s difficult not being overwhelmed with the wide world. I’m still not entirely sure where I see my future going, so I tend to take comfort in not looking that far ahead. Unfortunately, that short-sightedness might eventually lead me astray, and it will almost certainly keep me from truly realizing my potential in life. Of course, it would make things a whole lot simpler if I could figure out what I wanted to do with myself. It’s difficult to choose just one potential career, especially given my attention span, as I tend to get bored when I do the same sort of thing day in and day out.
Perhaps I’m just driving myself crazy, struggling to pigeonhole myself into one particular field when I can just keep hopping from hole to hole until I find one I like. My only problem with that is the level of effort required to test out each of those holes, and wondering whether I will ever find one that truly suits me.
