caramelsilverI went to an education fair today. You know, a big hall with all the higher education schools in stalls, each trying to persuade you that their school is the perfect school for you? Anyway, it was somewhat interesting. I suddenly don't know what I'm going to do with the first year I have after I finish upper secondary... I thought I was going to start studying right away, but now I'm wondering if I might go away for a year and study something just for a year abroad...
I do know what I want to do with my life you see. I want to be a... huh. Wikipedia can't translate the page to English... does that mean it doesn't exist outside Northern Europe? Anyway, I want to be something we call a kateket. It's not a priest, but it's the person who gets to work with the children and teens. When we go on Confirmation camp the kateket is the one who's in charge. Basically you are a teacher and your job is to teach children and confirmants about Christianity and how the Church works. "My"kateket, the woman who works at our church, is so awesome and I would be lying if I didn't say that she has inspired me a lot. And I know that not all churches are as awesome as ours. (Because they so aren't! We rule in the non-bored department), but if/when I become one, I would do my hardest to make it like ours, because it's such a good environment, and such a safe-place for all kids around. I want to be a person that makes a good and safe environment like that.
To become one, I have to take a masters in Christianity. And I'm so sure about this, and it feels so good to have this figured out! I know what I'm working towards, I have a future, and that makes everything so much easier.

MEME-TIME (BECAUSE I NEED SOME FUN!)
Tell me the title of a story I've never written and a short summary of that story. If it inspires me, I might write a short excerpt!
(This is a bastardized version of an already existing meme, but I'm to lazy to go look for the original wording. So this will have to do.)
