TAC me

I did my VTAC preferences last night. I saw all these creative writing coarses and I thought 'Come on Marianne you know you want to.' but then the other side of my brain was like 'Dude, c'mon be realistic about it. You're not that great and you're not going to get a career out of it unless you write a novel on vampires. And if the world was going to combust and they had to pick the right people to start a new civilisation in Mars do you think they're going to say 'Hey man we need a mediocre creative writer in case of a fiction book famine...and maybe some doctors and nurses if there's room left in the spaceship.''
I have no idea why my inner voice talks like a frat boy. Anyway it's very exiciting to know that there's something to look forward to after VCE. I really want to get into a career that makes me want to get up every morning and say 'I need to go to work today, they need me.' A career that makes me feel like I matter somewhere you know?

Me: That was beautiful Anna
