and i'm on the hunt for a job, and college course's.
The job is essential. The Australia excursion was after all a disaster. And i massive waste of money. Despite a job interview last week, just days after my flight home was booked, if they say yes it won't matter, i'm 11,000 miles away. So a real shame.
So being home i have to prepare for my future. And i hope to go to college again, so i'll be applying for the CAO form etc etc
I found some 10 or so course's that i'd like to do, all centered around Media, Film or English/Arts.
I'll be applying for those by next week, 1st of feb to be exact.
But i do have a problem, i have already done the first 2 years of an undergrad course. So in theory i have to pay for those years myself as the state has already payed for those 2 years. This is most likely in access of 7,000 for each year. The idea that i can earn that much by september is probably unlikely. So i could be in for a MASSIVE DEBT. But if it means a future, than i may have to take such a burden.
Also of late i have been considering doing charity work. Especially with the Haiti Earthquake. In general i'd like to do things for the world, help out etc. And with several of my interests and wild imagination i'd love to make a difference or enact change. You know, the Naive hopeful thoughts of youth.
Everything from lending a hand, creating new ways of helping and communicating for charities and so on, and even crazier idea's like how to re-build societies in the 3rd world etc.
Whatever i do in the future is not set in stone. But i hope to at least be succesful in some way.
The point of the English and arts degrees, and even the New English and Film course in UCD, is so that i can appease the side's of me that love Culture and film, the written word, opinion, current affairs etc etc.
The slightly more media course's are all either from the Design and technical point of view.
From behind the scenes stuff, to even how to be an actual film maker or photographer. A line of work that is a great "in" to the film and television industry's. And also vital skills if i was to make movie's myself. Which i am actually considering....
Although i don't have a camera, sound equipment, editing equipment or software, a screen-play/idea, actors, or Money. But i'd love to make an amateur film at some time in the nearby future....
