A bike ride a couple of nights ago got me to thinking: What should I do after I graduate? Frankly, I don't know. I want to be a solider but the local one doesn't seem too keen on hiring me. I guess it's all thanks to that teeny weeny black mark that I have in my records. Then again, if you can give criminals a second(sometimes, third or tenth) chance, I'm sure they are able to give me a second chance to prove to them what the best stuff are made of.

A meet-up with a couple of JC buddies got me to realize. Why DIDN'T I major in economics. I can sure as hell explain what it is all about. Writing about it is a different story altogether though hehs. I reasoned that I really wanted to study psychology. But since I didn't get that, sociology naturally as a second choice as they are kinda related. Well, I've already taken the leap. Now all I can do is to land a perfect 10 landing.

I was also thinking about what to do when I graduate. A couple of things that I have thought off.
1) Taking a Private Pilot License which would cost me no more than 30k. But first, I'd have to figure out a way to make that much money.
2) Take up skydiving. A full certification would cost me less than 4k.
3) Ride/Drive around the world. That would cost me an entire year and also at least 10k. Perhaps, I could get sponsorship and turn it into a TV show ( oh no!! not another one!! right?).

I have yet to think of number 4 onwards. Maybe, just maybe, I can accomplish everything? It's seemingly impossible but if i can squeeze 3 weeks worth of equipment and clothing into just 2 duffel bags, I'm sure that could be possible too. Yes, I am certainly aware of the difference in significance in terms of the analogy used. But I think you catch my drift.

First, I've got to find a way to at least triple what I earn on a part-time basis before I graduate. That ought to give me a cushiony head start.
