The Future Freaks Me Out

Lately I've been thinking a smidge too much about the future. And honestly also I've been feeling kind of bad that I'm NEVER home and I spend more time with my friends than I do with my family... >___> They legitimately rarely see me... and it kind of hit me that they do everything so that me and chris and liv have all the opportunities we could want in life... I don't know how I never noticed that before.

I'm hoping to try and graduate college at least a semester early, so that there will hopefully be money left for chris and liv to go to college or do whatever it is they want to do with their futures... Everything in this world is too damn expensive...  Regardless, I think I'm going to try and set some money aside in a CD and hope for the best with that...

I'm also really hoping that I can manage to find and internship with a biology company so that I have something I love doing once I get out of college, a job, and then I hear tale that sometimes companies will pay for your grad school, which would be wonderful...

I dont know... Regardless, I see maybe a couple summer classes or maybe winter classes... SOMETHING in my future so that I can get through credits faster and hopefully not have to pay for an entire semester in college, because its just too much.  On top of that, textbooks.  I mean really. Who thinks its ok to charge someone hundreds in dollars in books when they're not going to buy them back, and they have no use for them after the class is over... Its just such a pain.

So yep.  Either monday or tuesday I'm going to look into opening up a CD either for me, or for chris and liv to split or something? It'd be a $500 5-year CD with 2.15% yearly interest rate... in the end I'd have about $556 in the account at the end of the year... Or maybe I'll open up an account that I won't allow myself to withdraw from, only deposit from time to time... We'll see... I'm mulling over a few options in my head right now...

Also I have a completely one track mind in that I will keep rethinking the same thing over and over and over and over again without making any progress at all and I can't stop until I fix things.  Soooo don't be surprised if this one drives me crazy for awhile...

Also I'm worried I've been living my life through the tv screen which just isnt good enough for me... I want to get out and do things...
