You left ompty handed?

I've been laying on the couch for the past 4 days and I don't have a single thought whatsoever.  I've been rotting my brain by watching Jon & Kate Plus 8, Little People, Big World, and what was recorded on my PVR.  I finally watched the rest of GA; and I'm excited to watch the new season!!!

The only constructive thing that I've thought about was about how slow I am at getting my undergrad.  I only have 46 credits (hopefully 43 if I can withdrawal from philosophy)  and I need 120 credits to graduate from SFU.  It seems like everyone is graduating on time and I'm just watching everyone pass by.  Then again, it's my fault that I'm not graduating as quickly as everyone.  I do take 3 courses per semester and I take the summer semester off.  So every year I only accumulate 18 credits a year.  I honestly don't know what I want to do after I graduate which could attribute to the reason why I'm so hesitant to take more courses.  I've been telling people that I want to work for the government, but what am I suppose to do with a criminology degree?? Well I do, but most of it acquires more schooling and law school is really competitive.  Maybe I'll get a Masters and become a CSI detective.  I have no idea.  I wish that I was following my resume goal to get a CA designation.  That was the goal when I was in grade 10.  I just want to make enough money to be able to live in Vancouver/Burnaby comfortably, get married, have kids and be happy. 

I'm so bored at home, I can't go to work because I have the hardest time sitting down for long periods of time and I have trouble walking.  I haven't been out since Monday to get some medicine from London Drugs and I get to go out tomorrow to see the doctor.  I can't wait to feel better, I swear that I'll eat more fruits and vegetables!!! I was on a 5 day red meat free diet until today .. but I ate veggies and fruits today.  And I need to get more physical activity.  I just saw Melissa Joan Heart's body and she looks damn good!!!

Who cares if you are taking forever and a day to finish up your degree? The good thing is that you are actually working on it. And you are doing really, really well in the courses that you are taking. I think that it's a way better idea to take your time and do well than to rush yourself and only have so-so grades. And I know that if you wanted to take more courses, you could but you might as well take your time and enjoy the time that you have before you have to enter "the real world." And I think it's hard because most of your friends are older and therefore began post-secondary before you, it only makes sense that they would graduate first. And I hope that I have said something that makes you feel better about your schooling worries. Oh, and don't worry about what you want to do with your degree. It doesn't really matter what you end up doing right away because you can always change your mind. :)
