What are you reaching for? - Page 2

Gilgamesh in a Hat · 08-16-2006, 10:17 PM

1) Languages, I want to know every language this world has to offer. But I don't really want to be a linguist. I want to become a NASA engineer. I want to push mankind as far as possible, even if that means to mars. But more importantly, I want to effect the world. I want to be the pebble that causes the ripple, that leads to the wave, and ends up as a tidal wave. I want this world to feel my footprint in whatever way possible.

2) So far I have english, french, and arabic. I'm hoping to learn spanish and italian (with the french this will be easy) along side russian, japanese, and mabye some germanic languages. In engineering, I'm doing some studying by myself and enrolling in the florida institute of technology (biggest school for aerospace engineering, it works with nasa). But I don't know how this world should take me yet. Am I looking for politics? Is that what I was put here for?

Good topic, btw.

I'd like to travel the world and help others become more aware of the world around them. (too many people are concerned only with what's going on in their country). Which is why I'm majoring in Japanese, with a minor in Asian studies, and eventually a minor in business.

I'd also like to continue to draw and create things.

1) Godhood.

And the contingency plan:

2) Probably something history-related, like Historian or something.

Long term, immortality. Short term, finish undergrad, secure some finance, and move into own house.

We all know this is just so you can sit outside the place that publishes the FMA manga, and ambush the trucks as they come out, to get your FMA as soon as humanly possible, without having force some person to translate it for you.

See, I was all about the history major thing, but the 60-something papers a semester wasn't working out for me. Now I'm going for an anthropology major, and specializing in Asian studies. I'm also going to be trying to get into archeology.

Indiana Jones ftw

Archeoligist was my first choice. Although I can write a damn good paper...

I found this to be interesting to my fellow writers. It is mainly to do with science fiction and fantasy, and it has an excellent "writer`s manual do and don`t" section.

And to all who have posted here, especially those who are reaching high and hard - If you cannot acheive perfection, may you find excellence as sweet.

I have been so very inspired by what I am reading here, makes me stronger in the faith of my goals.

1) I want to help people who have to much time on their hands (a.k.a. people like you! :p ). I want to program games! I WILL BE A STAR!

...

Actually, my real dream, the one I decided to be a programmer for, is that I want to put an easter egg in a game. Go me!

2) Taking some Computer classes, going to (try to) major in computer programming, maybe minor in... not sure really.

So... yeah.
