I agree with both Assertn and Animaniax (surprisingly). Probably more so with the latter, but I understand fully what you mean Assertn, and specifically to what you're saying you're right.

Anyway, my (very) short term ambition:

Get accepted to university in March/April. Go to university in september.
Join some sort of self defencer or martial arts thinger.

In the next few years:
Get my degree. (In Criminology)
Get the different certificates I need to get (i.e. first aid, swimming, etc.); simple enough.

Long term:
Join the military for a 3 year term.
Get my job as a police officer.
Try out for our national security/ anti-terrorism force (JTF2). Who knows if I'll ever make it though. The fail rate is like 75% and you need to be in INSANE shape to get in.

So there's a few things i'm sure none of you care about.
