On Daydreams

What with all the college-searching that's been going on lately (just another perk of being a high school junior; more on the college search some other time), I've kind of been daydreaming about Someday. A lot. It's kind of crazy to think about growing up and going off to college. For so long, Growing Up And Going To College was one of those Big Important Things That Will Happen To You Someday. But it's always been a very long way away. And now, suddenly, it isn't. Which means that Right Now Or Very, Very Soon is when I have to start figuring out what I want to do.

Problem: I want to do everything. Except math. And chemistry/physics. Okay, so really I want to do a lot of English- or art-related things. But I don't know what, specifically. Acting would be fun, especially film acting, but that's every kid's dream and I'm pretty sure by now that that isn't gonna happen. Cinematography is definitely something I'm looking into, and absolutely creative writing, and also music. But CHOICES arghblargh. (Yes, that is my frustration noise. Deal with it.)

The one thing about all of these Maybes is that I've spent a lot of time thinking about a lot of things that Might Someday Be. More than just in terms of becoming a famous author or the next (female) Spielberg. It's kinda fun. It's also kinda scary.

And then there's the type of daydream that is, quite literally, a dream had during the day. For example, when you have a moderately weird dream about horses when you fall asleep on your bedroom floor while doing Spanish homework. But of course, all of that is strictly hypothetical.

Or, you know, not so much.

On a completely unrelated note, I have Cartel's "Runaway" stuck in my head. It's an excellent song, but it is stuuuck in my head. You should listen to it anyway. Because it's awesome. And Cartel is awesome.

"Stop now, there's no point in breathing - it's not allowed. On the surface how can you find reason to move on? 'Til then you can runaway, do your best to hide your face. And oh, I know you best; I know you get what you get, you get what you deserve."

And now, I must finish that Spanish homework that I fell asleep on and read and mark up "Civil Disobedience." Hopefully, I'll be able to stay awake this time.
