Astronomy

"Astronomy," I tell her. Having spent most of my life confined to my home, I guess it's only natural that I'd end up yearning for something so vast and undiscovered, like I could float away from this Earthly prison to new worlds. I'm getting a bit ahead of myself, I suppose, but it's my time for my ideals, dammit!

Rose giggles at my declaration. "You wanna be an astronaut?" she asks. That's not a bad dream, in fact. But studying space doesn't have to mean going -into- space. Afterall, there are a lot of requirements to doing that, and I doubt that I'm up to meet those challenges just yet.

Meanwhile, Rose tells me that she now works in a psychology lab, which she started in at the beginning of the summer, while she was taking extra classes. "You should try to get into a lab, too," she suggests. A job so soon? Well, that might be a good idea for getting into the major quicker. Still, I'm kinda of scared to take such a step so soon. Maybe I could just take classes for awhile...test the waters, you know?
