Yeah. I don't know what I want to do with my life. Part of me wants to be this uber politician/activist lawyer and the softer caring side of me wants me to be some kind of news photographer who takes these type of pictures. A photo journalist which is basically what these week in pictures are on the bbc. That could be me. I just don't know what to do.

  Its natural geographic btw.

They say people will go through more then two careers in their life, now. Well my two will be something in the news/radio/print world and politics. Wish I could do both at the same time though, haven't figured out away yet, wait I just thought of an idea.
