6 more days

I have only six more days of school (three this week, and three the following)...  And I have finished my sophomore year of college.  It feels weird.  I don't really like the college experience.  I don't feel like I have learned anything more than I have since high school.  Grant it, I've made some pretty solid friends now, but as for education, I feel like something is missing.  I do like College of the Canyons, for history and literature...  it has some decent professors and courses.  But, I don't know if I want to continue going to school.  I'm seriously burnt out, I'm sick of school.  And I'm stubborn.  All I want to do is write, act, paint, meet people, travel.  School feels so limiting.  Santa Clarita feels so limiting. 

I have too many ideas and dreams I want to pursue, and continuing my education here doesn't seem like the right path.  I know, I'm just a naive college student, who neglects to face facts and live in the real world.  But I feel like there is something so much greater out there for me to accomplish, that at this moment, living here, in this monotonous lifestyle, is just too exhausting, and too mundane.  I don't want to go to UCLA or NYU just to get into debt and have a piece of paper stating I graduated from such a prestigious school.  Not to bash anyone who has or will go to these schools...  Congratulations for getting in.  I just hope you have the drive and endurance to make it all the way through.

All I want to do in this life is to leave it knowing I left behind a masterpiece.  That could be anything.  Having a great family, or a painting, or a screenplay... anything.  I just don't want to skate by and have nothing of value.  I'm not one to care about money.  I understand the value and importance, but I live within my means.  That's all that matters.  I don't want money or to be rich, just stable and content.  When I move out and live on my own, this idea might change, haha, God I hope not.

Sorry for the randomness of this post. I just needed to vent a little.  I didn't sleep too well tonight.  This damn wisdom teeth cold is a bitch.  I watched about four different Camelot stories in the duration of the night...  And two different documentaries of penguins.  Now Robin Hood is on, so I must watch. 

Oh, Errol Flynn...  Such a pretty man...  I've gotta thing for those Aussie Actors.
