It's not that I don't care, it's more like there are some moments that I just lack motivation. It's never been hard for me to decide where I want to go, it's getting there that is the problem. One of my favorite philosophies in life is that if you drive long enough you'll find what you are looking for. There is no arguing that point. If you are looking for Arkansas, just drive long enough and eventually you'll find it.
It's not that I have a problem deciding I want good grades, and to become a good professional in the field I end up in, it's getting there that is the problem. It's not that I don't want that, it's just at 10:11 AM I am lacking the motivation. There are far too many other interesting things to do, and look at. For example the paper I picked up from the WBB. I mean it's good to be informed on the world anyway, right?
Yesterday in institute, and pretty much every day, our teacher tells us it's about having a long term perspective. Sometimes even longer than long term, an eternal perspective. Ain't that the truth? She talks about 6 months down the road, 1 year down the road, 5 years, 10 years, 20 years, the end of our life. Well let me tell you something to you, it's hard to think long term when your stomach is growling. This much I know.
So where do I picture myself 20 years from now? That's tough to say because it depends on the day. Mostly?......... well most of the pictures I take 20 years from now won't be at my job, i'm sure, anyway. Also most of those places and people I have in my mind have very little to do with Chemistry. So how does all of this relate to Friday morning before noon? Not too much I guess, so let's start a little smaller.
Where do I picture myself at 1:30 PM Friday afternoon? I picture myself eating lunch with my chemistry and cell Biology homework done for the weekend. About to go to work, because I have really enjoyed my job thus far, and looking forward to a good weekend. That's where I picture myself. So maybe i'll start there and see where that get's me.
