Confused by Ambition

I have two months left of school before exams and entrance tests and applications start – and I don’t have a clue what I want!

Well, that’s not entirely true.

I know that I want:
--> Biochemistry, computational chemistry, pure chemistry, pharmaceuticals, literature, advertising or media arts. Just don’t ask me to choose!
--> To be in a safe city, where I can go out without fear of murder
--> Make friends who aren’t dumb
--> Have a hostel with a clean loo
--> To keep dance a part of my life
--> To sing, write, debate
--> To able to try new things! I know that I want to be somewhere that I can later tell people I was, and not have the reaction “Where…??”

Yup. I know exactly what I want. I want the American education system, in Singapore city, with family close by, Bangalore-ian friends around the corner, Nrityagram down the street, endless time to sing, dance, debate, write… a subject I love, with teacher’s like Ms. Padma teaching everything…! I want to do everything, everywhere…and do well without trying. Is that so hard?

Oh yea. I also want world peace, a maxed chemistry paper, and a mansion made of emeralds on Mars with my personal French chef, Pierre Gaston. Fruitcake, anyone?

Most people would succeed in small things if they were not troubled with great ambitions
