Does anyone have a map to this crazy road called life?

These days as the months where on, I am more and more confused as to what I should do with me life much like the name of this page I keep wondering via the immortal words of The Clash “Should I stay, or should I go.”

I am torn between deferring my enrollment at SFSU and trying to take the two math classes over summer and fall the taking relaxing and fun lit classes and art classes over the spring. Because my stress is falling into the area of my major only allows students in the fall. Because you know SFSU has a wonderful Cinema Program
, and a B.A. from them would help me chase down and tackle a career in screen writing like a tiger on a terrified gazelle. I have had the dream of becoming a writer since well since forever.

I have noted a third option that has flopped down on the table in front of me. Save up and just pack up. Move to LA and try to do this thing on my own now that I have my AA. But I would really love to have a BA in fact I crave one with a passion. I am just getting tired of being so stagnate in life sitting and that I need to mix things up a bit. But not in way my friends normally mix it up. A party isn’t going to do this, a road trip isn’t going to do it, it has to be something huge.

Then there is still the biggie on the table joining the Peace Corp, packing up and leaving the country and helping those out there who need help, but just can’t find it, or their country is to poor to provide it. See people need help, and I need to get out there and be the one to help people. You see a wise man by the name of Gandhi once said “Be the change you want to see in the world.” I think it’s time that I stepped up and did that. I think that the Peace Crop could be my gate way to do that. People support me in this choice. But a friend of mine also brought up Americorps which does many of the same things as the Peace Corp but on a national level.

So I haven’t made much progress in where I am going in my life. But isn’t that the bane of every 20 something’s existence.
