wishful thinking…

As of late, I’ve decided that, out of all the career possibilities ahead of me, I would LOVE to be a critic/writer for a magazine… I’m not entirely sure what I have to do to qualify me for this position, but I love this whole blog thing, and I’m a very critical person.  I think it would be the coolest job ever to go to work and research and write for a living (lame, right?)!  I really don’t know why, but here I am writing and completely enjoying myself!  I could go at it for hours on end if push came to shove!  But, alas, there’s school (which starts back up again tomorrow…) and all the painstaking work that goes with it just to get a bunch of useless letters on a piece of paper at the end of each quarter…  I really wish that I could just go to some place like the Game Informer headquarters or some other magazine that has reviews in it and just say “Hey!  I really really love reviewing stuff!  Can you try me out for an issue and see if you like what I write?”… wow, that would be so perfect… but guess what!  Life’s not like that!  Of course it’s not that easy!  You have to get good grades in stupid classes like AP Statistics (am I ever going to use the math I’m learning in that class?  I highly doubt it…), Fundamentals of Technology (easiest class in the history of the world), and stuff like that!  Are those really my interests?  Not at all.  Do they affect ANY of the future career paths I’d like to take?  Don’t think so!  Do I still have to take them AND get good grades?  Of course!  It’s not logical, but apparently it’s how school works, constantly “preparing you for your future”… psh.  What a joke.  Well that’s my rant for now…
