Who could have expected things to change so much in two years?
---------------------
Name (that you go by): Laura.
Age: 19
Occupation: over-achieving student/waitress/librarian/free-lance photographer. Plus whatever else comes up. If I don't keep busy, I get myself into trouble.
Future Aspirations: Let's stick with the foreseeable future, eh? I've got three, maybe four more years before I get my first degree. Those will be spent in NY and maybe in Ontario. Then I plan to acquire a city apartment with a few friends, all of us teachers-in-progress, and get my master's while working whatever job seems like a good idea at the time. I will struggle to pay rent, utilities, and college loans in the same month. I will sit in a window with a notebook and pen and write and wonder if life this way is worth it. I will sleep hours as odd as those I keep currently. I may have a cat.
Goal in life: become a college professor. Write the sort of novel that can be read over and over again. Become one with everything.
Short term goals: Get the financial end of yet another school year sorted out; pack for school; buy new flipflops; get my room clean. Figure out if I can handle a lab science this semester; check out classes with which to maybe replace it.
Passion: telling stories through whichever medium is handed to me.
Hobbies: writing; photography; discussion.
Famous for: Nobody ever believing me when I tell them that I'm shy. Hanging out with professors outside of class. Having friends of all ages from a lot of different places. Taking chances.
