SANITY CHECK!

Chatterbox: Down to Earth

SANITY CHECK!

SANITY CHECK!

Hey, y'all! I haven't posted something new in weeks (yay, me) because I have been spending far to much time planning out life ambitions and all that stuff.

SOOOOOO....

I think I'm insane. I've planned out highschool so that next year, in 8th grade, I'll teach myself 9th grade at home and then complete the other high school years in 1 1/2 instead of 3 or 4. Then I want to go to college then grad school for 3 Bachelor's, 2 Master's, and a PhD.

See why I think I'm crazy?

Because....

Too

Much

Ambition.

Seriously! I think that I'm just insane and I'm probably going towork at a fast food resturant for the rest of my life (fun, fun, fun) because I acgually can't excactly afford college. Unless I get a perfect score on the SATs and get a few other thousands of dollars of scholarsips, I won't even get to go to college for a single bachelor's. Ugh.

I want to get a Bachelor's degree in Theatre Arts, Bibical Studies, and Psycology, then get a Master's in Theatre and Psycology, then get a PhD in Psycology. Why?

I don't know.

I think I'm a multipotentialite.

S.E., if you think you're too ambitious, you should see what goes on in my head.

No really.

I think about juggling being a bestselling author and piano artist/singer; working with Paul McCartney and Steven Moffat, writing Doctor Who scripts and making a whole new BBC show... and, of course, getting a Ph.D in English. And perhaps playing Ariel for The Tempest at some point.

And seriously, that's only dipping my foot in.

Let's be insane together!

Gotta go but talk more later.

S.E, you're not crazy. You can do anything if you work hard. If you want those scholarships, you can get those scholarships. Believe in yourself.

Just, just...

Remember to keep it reasonable. And not overwork yourself. And vacuum weekly.

I know what you're all thinking, Oh, here comes Spock, dragging us down with that silly old LOGIC and REASON.

But I'll let you know that I want to be a scientist... and also a writer...

But still! Keep your limits in mind. (And vacuuming is important)

Everyone, has some amount of insanity. Only some just can't see it.

Someone had to say that in a movie or book or something. Either that or I made it up.

S.E., it is totally okay to be ambitious! As long as you don't get totally ahead of yourself. I have many dreams that aren't avaible currently due to my over protective parents. Think I'm over-exaggerating? YOU HAVE NO IDEA! Seriously, my parents don't understand. In fact, I could rant on for about 2 hours, but I won't.

Anyhow, 

I'd like to become a best-selling author, the person who will stop global warming and the extinction of animals. I'd like to be free and have adventures and travel the world and start a blog that won't need so much maintence.

Keep in mind that lots of colleges now not only look at grades, but also things like community service and how dedicated you are. And you seem to be very dedicated and ambitious! Also, there are some colleges (like Harvard) that seem to cost a lot, but if Harvard wants you, it will get you there regardless.

I definitly don't want to go to Harvard. The people are not great. I know I could get in.

My plan is to start out as an actress/singer/model/writer/artist, and once I've been on Broadway and earned enough money, I'm going to go to Guatemala and start an orphanage. I'll go back to the US and earn more money, then start orphanages in other places. After that, I'll start a boarding school and an affordable summer camp for girls. So, you're not alone in being crazy with your dreams.

There is this one school in Idaho that allows you to have three minors!

I originally wanted to split it between culinary, writing, art, and music.

But now I want welding too.

And acting.

You see in Yuma Arizona there was this cool, steampunky place with gears on the walls. The bathroom sinks were barrels! SOOO COOLL!!!!

I want to become averagely rich so I can afford a nice house and make it look steampunky with wrench doorhandles and gears imbedded in the floor, along with a giant gear chandelier!!!

I am a REALLY good a flute and pretty good at piccolo. I want to possibly become one of the best!

I love cooking and serving food to people, so maybe I can become a professional chef and own a restaurant! Or even a bakery! Or a candy storrree!!!!

In my free time I can draw portraits of people for lots of money, along with fantasy art that is really cool! 

And maybe I can even write books! I haven't written any novels, sadly, but I have a really cool character and maybe I can finish it by 16 and even publish it!

Along with being a homeschooling mother I don't think I can pull it off!

I wish I could do all this stuff now before I go and get married. Maybe I'll just do whatever.

Before I say anything else, let me say this.

EVERYONE IS SLIGHTLY INSANE.

In my opinion, that's true. Being on Cricket allows us to express our insaneness in safe, healthy (Well, maybe not so healthy.  Or safe.) ways!  It's called AEs.  We all know this.  

However, you are not the only one with big, crazy plans!  I, for instance, want to write books (Starting first one!), be a book critic, be an actor (in movies), and maybe have like a daycare for toddlers or something, I don't know.  I'M TOTALLY NUTS.  THAT'S WHY I HAVE THREE AES.

So I
