Better that it went earlier than later, right? You just keep rolling. I can bitch and moan and cry my eyes out in my TFP blog, but I don't let it slow me down in real life. No time.

What doesn't kill me makes me stronger.
I know full well that life rarely turns out as planned, but I do know that sometimes, the unplanned stuff will really get you after all. If everything in my life had gone as planned (when I was 18 and silly), I would have graduated on time from university, and never met my sweetie.
My current where I want to be is more a set of realistic goals that I am working towards. Yes, I am getting married--this summer. So it isn't ridiculous to say that, nor is it ridiculous to say that I will be a teacher. I have all of the dates lined up on my calendar for all of the tests I have to take next fall. I am planning to make these things happen.
What is ridiculous is when someone is 18 and says, "I want to be married by 23" where there is no boyfriend or fiance in the picture. And yes, I talked like that once upon a time, and I overhear girls in my major talk like that all the time (WHY did I have to pick the one major with girls looking to get their Mrs.?!).
It's not a bad thing to have goals, else you are just floating aimlessly through life, with no particular direction. I'll pass, thanks.
