Here I stand.
University is over. With its completion, the pre-defined path laid before me all my life ends. Up until this point, I always knew what came next. I went to high school. I got a job. I went to university. I am now confronted with the biggest question of all – what next? What do I do come September?
I’ve been thinking of going to Algonquin college to take an “advanced diploma” in computer science. With that, I could maybe enter the CSE or the RCMP. It seems like some of the jobs offered could meld my interest in computer security with my love for world politics. Or do I perhaps go the money route, and get a job in the GIS world – a field for which I’m qualified, but for which my interest level simply isn’t there? Or do I go to Vietnam to teach English?
What do I do? It’s all a big question for me. There’s a big weight on my mind, and I don’t have much time to make certain key decisions. I have about a week to decide whether I’m going to apply to Algonquin.
Keeping me sane at this point is the screenwriting. Last month, I picked up the original H4CK3R5 draft that I had completed in October of 2006. I’ve spent a good deal of time producing a new 35 page draft, which is again being thoroughly revised in favour of creating a more engaging story. I’m going to adapt the final script into both a radio play and a novella, before I then even think about making a movie from it all. I have yet to recover financially from Docks, which is still in editing limbo pending having the funds to repair my PC (PSU and/or mobo is busted).
