I'm feeling lost. ..

When I transferred down here the plan was that I would do a double major in Sign interpretation and English, right? So now I'm here, the things that I hear about the Sign program indicate that if I get I wouldn't be able to interpret at all while I was in the program and I'm working right now at Franklin Covey. . .it's a go now where job so
Daniel told me that I should come to work at the Community Outreach Program for the Deaf (COPD) and now. . .I'm thinking about working there but if I got into the program I'd have to quit. . .because there would be a chance of me having to Interpret (big no, no) and so. . .I'm wondering A) should I apply to COPD? B) Should I apply to the program?

On top of this . .. I don't know any more if I want to go to Law School. . .I've said that I was going since I was in the 8th grade and now, I don't know . .. I think interpreting would be better for my writing because it's a lot less time. . .*sighs* Plus, I could be a stay at home mom if I was an interpreter. . .

Any ideas or help?

First, find out for sure if you can't work somewhere that you'd have to interpret. It seems like it would be a good thing to be working with it all the time. Maybe ask the reasons why the rule is there if there is such a rule.

That's what I'd do. Hope it helps.

PS. Need any choc chip cookies yet?

I might soon. . .I'll let you know if I do.

And thanks Dreamer. . .I'll keep that in mind along with our little chat today

My first advice would be this....

What do YOU want to do? It's your life, not Daniel's... not your parents... not ours... Yours. Now, to quote Jack Lemmon....

"The only things you regret in life are the risks you didn't take. If you see a chance to be happy, you grab it with both hands... and to heck with the consequences."

Secondly, in reading your post, I was reminded of something written by Henry David Thoreau.

"I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately, I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, To put to rout all that was not life and not when I had come to die Discover that I had not lived."

Lastly, I thought this might be fitting advice as well...

"One day at a time--this is enough. Do not look back and grieve over the past for it is gone; and do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful it will be worth remembering."

Hope it helps.

no. . .it really didn't. Niichan. . .I don't know what I want, that's my problem. I want to work with the deaf people. . .but I don't know how to get there. I'm so confused and tired of not knowing. I've been debating this privately for several weeks now.

Maybe a day just reading or watching movies will help. It always does for me. Also try mint tea...the perfect for relaxing.

Okay, so going off the bases of it not being an all together bad thing to apply, I have done so. . .I sent in my resume. . .now I wait
