Football? A body could get hurt!

[smile_n_cuddle]

Last night I had a dream, and I'm trying not to read too much into it. Nevertheless, I had been accepted to University of Florida's and Miami's football teams, and I was trying to figure out which one I wanted to play for. I chose Miami. They had a great scholarship. Chris - you were there, too. We were going to play football on the same team.

At any rate, I was driving to practice, accidentally passed the field, did a U-Turn (was almost pulled over by a cop), got to the field and thought, "What the heck am I doing? I could get hurt!"

Do you think football is symbolic, in my unconscious mind, of law? ;-)

It's a good thing I'm not a big believer in my dreams!

lol Oh dear. That's a good one. I sure hope it was powder puff football. Hey, so does this mean we're supposed to go to the same football--I mean, university?? Yay! Then again, football *is* dangerous despite getting to see all those muscular guys in those tight pants *wahahaha*. Best to steer clear, Jen!

Heh heh heh.

Nope, no powerpuff football! This was the real thing. I remember walking up to the practice thinking about the time I broke my finger catching a football. It hurt so much. I thought, "OMG! What am I doing??? I DON'T WANT TO PLAY FOOTBALL!"

Anyway, as far as Universities go, CHECK OUT UF, GIRLIE! Why not finish your masters there?? We could room together... and this time not kill each other ;-)

Whenever I have a conflict about something during the day it will materialize in my dreams at night. I don't read too much into the dreams, I just decide I probably need to make peace with it so it doesn't continue to haunt my subconscious.

My problem is that every-other day, it seems, I change my mind about what I want to be when I grow up. First was psychology (1996-2001),
*then it changed to law (2001-2002 - took the LSAT)
*then neuroscience (2002-2003 - did eight months of research and worked on senior thesis)
*then psychology (2003)
*then mental health counseling (2003 - enrolled in classes, then dropped)
*then doctor (two weeks - James reminded me science wasn't my strong suit)
*then psychology (2004 - began studying for the GRE, contacted professors, read hundreds of pages of psychological studies),
*and now it's law again (2004 - just paid $120 to enroll in the LSDAS, have sent resumes, have asked ppl to write letters of rec, and am now reading a book on torts). I GOTTA GO TO COLLEGE! lol.

I know I won't make a great psychologist - I'd get burned out. I see that in my clients. I am courteous, but they still drive me crazy sometimes! I was too idealistic thinking I could change people. Some can change - those that want to, but for the majority of the ppl I wanted as clients, the problems are too comprehensive - they can't read, they can't keep jobs, they were abused, they have so many issues... I can't just wave a wand and make it better. Some do change - I did. But... I think I'd get burned out, personally.

So... In my heart I know law is for the best. On the other hand, however, I fear that if I allow myself to "dream" of other occupations, I will get all hyped up and change yet again. I have to stop. I must choose. I think I'd enjoy law. It's very flexible. But I'm scared because I can't think of other things - pursue other venues - just in case I get all obsessed yet AGAIN.

But then, what if I hate law? ;-)

I'm such a P about this!
