There's something oddly nice about being in school. I think it's the fact that I don't have to worry about what I'm going to be doing the next day, or the next week, or even the next year, because it's sort of planned out for me. I have another two years of school left, after which I'm going to have to decide what I want to study for university. That is one of the most daunting decisions I'm going to have to make; I know I want to go into computing in some way, shape or form, but I really don't know what to specialise in. I could try a general degree like computer science, but I feel that it might be too general to help me along in getting a job. I could go down a more creative route, like learning web design or video game development, but I don't have any practise with those kinds of things yet and you really need a good portfolio to land a good job in those industries.
I'm struggling to figure out what direction I want to head, but the fact that I have at least a year before I really need to start making decisions helps calm me down a bit. Hopefully this time next year I'll be a bit more sure of myself.
