High School seems so far away... good or bad?



English class with Mr Wright, in the photo are some very talented people, some very nice people and a person or two that I did not get along with. 2008 was only 2 years ago but it feels like forever...

FUTURE MIND-FUCK

I realised recently that there are so many things that I would like to do in my life. One of them was to make a blog and update it regularly (I have accomplished the first part).

Questions like "How many things can I realistically accomplish in life?" always pop into my head. I haven't really told many people my inner most desires and thoughts about the future. Here are a few for your viewing pleasure:

- I want to go to Las Vegas
- I want to record an album comprising of some covers and originals which has a wide range of styles and genres.
- I want to start my own tennis club called "Marshall Tennis" which has franchises all over Australia.
- I want to travel somewhere really exotic like one of the remote islands of Tahiti and take it easy.
- I want to make sure that I always have my good friends around or in contact because they mean so much to me.
- I want to eventually have a family (give it 10-13 years though)
- I want to go to the Wimbledon Tennis Open in England and see the finals.
- I want to do enough in university so that I will be able to have a good life and not be facing any struggles.

Now some of these could seem quite rational and honest thoughts, but figuring out which ones I genuinely want to pursue is such a difficult thing. I don't think its wise to go all guns blazing on one thought while potentially wrecking the outcome of another.

I guess I will find out what I really want as I get older, being 20 I haven't really encountered much and still have so much to learn, figure out and create opinions on.

One thing that has been already knocked off my list is "Singing in front of a large crowd". The Schools Spectacular and performing at the Youth Olympics were both experiences I will never forget.
