So you are going to try and tell us that your life ended up exactly how you wanted it?
You aimed that low? You wanted to be an uneducated housewife? You are happy with that?
All the educational resources of the wealthiest nation on the planet at your ready, and you said... "nah, I want to be a housewife whos life revolves around making friends on message boards"?
Can I bring you to class one day for show and tell?

Hehehe - you try SO hard, but you keep falling short in your attempts to decide what I've done in my life. :P
What I wanted my life to end up like has changed constantly. Here are just a small handful of things I "wanted" through the years:
There was a time I wanted to be a veterinarian. I was 10. Then I almost passed out when they gave my dog a shot (and I still can't watch my pets or my kid get shots....).
I wanted to become a psychologist. I was 17. But then found out I had to take 2 years of English, Math, Biology, etc. and I didn't feel like wasting 2 years of my life learning things I had no intention of ever using again (based on my math skills, I probably should have rethought that. :P )
I wanted to have 4 kids, be a housewife and live in a big house. I was 21. Then I realized how bored I was sitting at home all day with nothing to do but clean, cook and basically babysit.
I wanted to be a big wig in a major corporation. I was 30. Then I realized how many people I was going to have to screw over, how many 70 hour weeks I was going to have to give them and how fast my job (or any job) could be eliminated.
I wanted to work at home and live in a small cabin in the woods and basically spend my time doing whatever I wanted to do. I was 37. In fact, I bought a 4WD when I was living in the suburbs and everyone thought I was nuts - I told them I had every intention of moving where I'd need 4WD.....and I did.
So....yep, I'm doing EXACTLY what I want to do at this point in my life. Am I doing what I wanted to do previously? Of course not and thank goodness! Am I doing what I might want to do in 5-10 years? I hope not! I want to keep changing and doing new things.
I have no doubt that you're at a point in your education where you have "show and tell" and I'd be more than happy to be yours. Just tell me when and where.
