School woes.

I've spent the last week hunting high-and-low for a post-graduate program that is both interesting and feasible for me. So far, I've come up with a few options, but nothing is really screaming "take this, Shannen, it's perfect for you!" Further, because of the undergrad path I've taken, I don't qualify for most masters programs. Another undergrad degree has absolutely no appeal to me. And finally, I'm still not exactly sure what the point in taking another diploma or certificate program would be.

I'm going to be twenty-one tomorrow. I'm going to have a bachelor's degree in psychology in a few more months as well as a diploma in writing and editing, and I have no idea what the hell to do with my life. I feel like I'm too old to still be in school, yet a far cry from being old enough to join the work force. I wish they offered a "discover your life's calling" course at university, because after four years here, I still have no idea- not even a teeny tiny vague one- of what I want to do. I need to get into career counselling, or aptitude tests, or something.

My list of possibilities so far consists of teacher's college, a master's in counselling, a diploma in clinical trials management, a diploma in labour relations, a certificate in grief & bereavement, and a certificate in counselling women. I'm still considering applying for a master's of journalism even though I don't meet the minimum criteria for admission.

missing you.

i really and truly miss someone that i have no way to get in touch with. it's been a couple years since i've seen him and i still consider him one of the most amazing people i've ever met. i've never connected with anyone else the way him and i connected.

i miss that. that's all. it's really starting to get to me.
