| Ramblings of a Teenage Girl Part 3: THE FUTURE |

Other things are on my mind at the moment, like WHAT THE HELL AM I GOING TO DO WHEN I LEAVE SCHOOL?! I'm planning my gap year...I'm going to South America for 6/7 months starting Jan 2009 to teach and then travel - Ecuador mainly. I think Lucky is a bit upset about it, but as much as I like/love him, I thought I couldn't plan this oppurtunity around somebody who is unlikely to stay in my life for a very long time after i leave school, as much as I really honestly hate saying that, it's true! I'm post-applying for university - I want to do English at Oxford or Cambridge, I think Cambridge, Sidney Sussex College maybe...I love english, I love reading, but I am terrible at making time for it. I seem to have this problem where I am incredibly lazy...! my parents are always telling me to work harder, and I when I get down to it, I enjoy it, I really do! I get satisfaction from learning things and gaining knowledge, but I always distract myself, and when I get stuck, I just give up. I guess I love the idea or learning and studying and Literature specifically, but I'm not incredibly good at doing! I'm all talk alot of the time - I say things to keep people happy, but then don't do the things I say I'll do! I just need more motivation...I have to get 3 A's at A level otherwise I'm buggered...sounds gay, but no good university will look at me for English if I don't have those grades...I'd have to be very lucky to get in! I know there are other options, but I'd love to do something like Journalism or advertising, and good grades and a degree will definitely give you a headstart at the beginning. Oh, and talent of course, but that needs a little work first!
