The Future.

This was a draft post I never finished. Thought I may as well publish it!

Finishing the last of my major exams, (well, I still have two German exams, but let's forget about them. I'm not incredibly gifted at languages)has made me think about the future. I'm aiming for a really academic sixth form next year; fingers crossed I can take up my place next year (need the grades first!) But after that? No idea. I do know that I want to go to university and study something that isn't science or maths; those doors are closed, anyway. But I have no idea of where I want to do with the degree (which will now cost me at least £27,000 for a full course, btw.)

I shouldn't really be worrying about this now. I'm 16 and should be out enjoying myself instead of living in the future. But I just feel that I should know what I want; if I do, I can try my best to get it. It seems that all the greatest people started young, and had loads of experience; I want to be one of those people! Ever since I was born I've been ambitious; I remember being absolutely convinced at the age of ten that I could sell the novel I'd just written (150 A4 pages) to a publisher. I bought magazines about writing with my own money, downloaded podcasts that advised me on how best to plot and track character development, and formatted my 'novel' correctly for a publishing house (double spaced, page numbers, footnotes, indexes) on the family computer. Of course, I never actually sent it off, but I remember wanting so badly to be the youngest author ever published.

And now, I really want to have that dream job. One where I love every minute; but I don't know what yet. I'm liking the idea of working in the media at the moment.
