It's been a over week since I last updated my blog so I feel that I should now.Well a recap on my weekend, which was...nothing really except a piano test that I took on Saturday.I choked on Fur Elise and some other pieces, but I think I did pretty good.
Well back to what I was going to really post.Over the weekend I started to really think about my future and what kind of career I should pursue.My brother's friends came to the house and took the downstairs livingroom, so I decided to come up to my room and soon got bored.So I started looking through everyone's Xangas, Myspaces, etc.One had a post of someone who had came from Troy testing and found that people who went to Troy could go to MIT.I mean I knew Troy was a good school, but never that good.So then I started to think, "If I could get into MIT...If I had a chance to go to MIT by going to Troy then maybe I should at least try."Though if I did go to Troy then I wouldn't be going to Ayala where I could join the marching band and I want to since I wouldn't just want to leave my saxophone behind and as far as I know Troy doesn't have a that great of a band.Then again how much would band really help if I wanted to pursue some other career?Or could I be missing out on meeting lots of new people from not joining the marching band?Or should I go to a completely different school?
I'm still in 8th grade and I don't want to set a career path this early for myself.I'm still thinking about other things I want to do.Possibly a film school?I looked into that and found a great website about people who've gone to film school or something like that and have experienced the process.It sounds hard, but as I was reading people said some things and I thought, "Hey, sounds kind of like me."I have plenty of ideas that I would want to turn into some kind of project such as Flash, but if i got the chance to then I would make into a movie. Some other ones are working in the Video Game industry, which also sounds very similar to the movie industry.Or author?Personally I just want a way to get my ideas out that have been in my head for a while.
Like I said I'm still in 8th grade, but in a few months I'll be in highschool then college and now it seems that time is running out to make a decision.Many of my teachers who are happy with teaching say that they never thought that they'd end up where they are now and that I should just let destiny lead my life, but then again I don't want to end up at the other end where they are now and that they hate their jobs.I don't want to make a decision too early or too late.Now my time is even smaller to make a decision because to get into to Troy I need to take the test to get in and I need to do that in 2 weeks or so I think.So I'm having a hard decision if I should or not, but at the very least I think I should try to see if I can even get in.
Sorry if there are many grammatical errors or if I split the paragraphs wrong or something, I just kind of did what I thought was good because I wasn't thinking about it too much.
And the winds the past few days have been insane.
