I am currently taking architectural drafting at college. It's a 2 year course, and the first year is almost over. However, I have found out that it's not what I want to do for the rest of my life. It has some great points; it was fun and interesting for a while, but I just don't see myself doing this. Therefore, I don't plan on going back next year.
What I've always wanted to do with my life was to become an actor. However, I thought that it seemed far-fetched for me. So I decided to scrap that idea, and that's when I want to something more realistic--drafting. But there was another main factor that was keeping me from doing this--my self-confidence. It's key to have good self-confidence, and that's something I don't have right now.
My plan is to work next year while seeking help on my self-confidence issues through counseling. During all this, I will study acting at home through DVDs and Books. Then I plan to apply to the Toronto Academy of Acting. It's a 3 month course, and that's the longest one available. Also, they are now linked with Hollywood so I hope to take the course there too.
It's a long journey ahead of me and seems far-fetched, but I'm gonna go with my heart and give it a shot.
Who knows, maybe I'll be co-starring with Jim some day.
My Future?
Ok. Stay in college. Finish drafting. Get hired by a respectable company. Design a posh theatre and have it built by the best. THEN coax Jim with sprinkles and cherries on top to come to the 'Grande Opening' promising all proceeds from the first production to Jim's favorite Autism charity... fill him up on good food and champaigne. Get your girlfriend to show him her boobs and MAYBE he'll pass on his agent's number. 
No? Ok... Sell everything you own. Buy a bus ticket. Go Greyhound to Broadway, and be a homeless beggar doing mime on Time Square.
No?
"BrEaK a LeG!"

I understand, but this course is so incredibly boring to me, and I do not see me doing it in the future. Why wast a few more grand on it?Lena wrote:I don't think that's such a good plan, I mean, you can as well just finish the last year of architectural drafting.
After that you can still go acting, it isn't so bad to wait one year...
