What are some of your aspirations at the moment? I have a got a good paying job right now and have no time to spend any money so I'm thinking a lot about what to do with it. My thoughts are buying a shitty old bus and converting it into a shitty mobile house so that I'm free to live, work and travel anywhere in this great big beautiful country (Oz) or forget about the bus and spend a few years bumming around in Asia trying to learn something from the "eastern" mindset.
i'm currently thinking about going back to school for a higher paying job... but i need to find one that i could stand doing first...
i'm at an age where i'm reluctant to frustrate myself setting goals i might not live long enough to do anything about. most of you are luckier then me in that reguard. not that 60 is THAT old, and a lot of people HAVE accomplished things that they hadn't started setting out until then, but really, the things that intrest me, that i care about, arn't really about me at all. i'm not saying that to try and be any sort of a saint or anything, its just how i look at things. =^^= .../\...
I would like to be able to see things that way some day. Sometimes I see what I do with my life right now as training for a future where I can help others.
Mine are pretty lame but they are my goals in life... I guess just to live basically...To explore and keep exploring.. Don't really want to get married, no kids, don't want to go back to school.. I just want to be happy and do the things that I enjoy...Though, I do have one small goal, which I know after time it will happen, I plan on turning my garage into a crappy shop and sell my weird crap projects and such I do and just meet different people and just live it up I guess..
I am currently trying to get my CMA accounting license, I should take the first part test for it next week but due to my slacking it looks like i will postpone it to next month.
At the moment... well I'm going to grad school this September and I'm really looking forward to that. I want to learn so much more. And I want to do well so that one day I can get a PhD too.. I also want a new home. My partner and I are in the process of buying a new house somewhere nice and relatively quite, with a big garden and a fireplace.
Dreams.... I guess my dream is to be free to do what I want. And to be in love with the right person.
I want to go to uni, have fun, bum around as a conservationist/fruit picker, get a smll holding, have some kids with tangled hair and barefeet and homeschool them and live off the freeconomy as much as possible.
I don't want us to buy a house where we are moving next...so I have no dreams there. I have a really good paying job right now, more than I have ever made and I like it so far so I have no aspirations in that department. When we move in a year I am going to grad school for my masters, maybe a PHD or PsyD, but don't think I can do that and work...so that is kinda my only goal. We are putting off having kids for a few years so that I can do grad school and until Andy is done paying child support. We're getting married this June, but are already happy and don't fight so I don't see any goals there. Basically I think everythingis all mapped out...no room to really dream and aspire. It's different from when you are single. When you are married your dreams have to be much more realistic. I would like to teach in south america for a summer though...but not this summer.
When Andy retires in 10 years I would like to buy a cute little beach house in ventura be a therapist in private practice and have one or two beautiful children. I know Andy wants to open a resturaunt when he retires so I hope that happens for us.
Wow...I just realized...I have everything I want...and need. Have a nice fiance, 2 great dogs, a college degree, a great job, an SUV, we live in a nice house. I have everything I envisioned having as an adult, when I would think about my future as a teenager, down to the basset hound and princess cut engagement ring.
