Hmm... Well, I have a great plan.
0.(variable) hope to god that a new ADD med comes out that doesn't stop working after taking it for too long without any breaks
1. Continue to get straight A's and raise GPA in Senior high school year by taking an extra honors
2. Apply for many scholarships in my senior year
3. Get missing language credits in community college (take japanese anew, or finish german credits) and the rest of missing University-required credits. Also, get some general ed out of the way.
4. Apply at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo (supposedly best math/science school in Western U.S.). If entry fails (very unlikely situation) default to UCSD, UCLA, or UC Berkeley.
- variable from hereon
5. Get a job (maybe do some day trading, aspies ['specially math aspies] are better at it than NT's)
6. Get Master's in physics (quantum, particle, etc.)
- supervariable from hereon
7. Get hired in related job (wondering if CERN would hire an american)
8. Get PhD in related area of physics
9. TRANSCEND THE UNIVERSE!! !! !
-THE END

I also know that I'd like to do a lot of traveling, and move to New England.


Pretty much the same a this, but I want to move to Old England.

I never knew what I wanted to do with my life. I have lots of limitations & NO special strengths that some people with AS seem to have. My options are extremely limited. I do not think what you do in lofe matters as much as the people you do things with or for.

Just surviving next 40 or so years as independently as possible would be fine, doing whatever it takes. If not as independently as I'd like - who cares really, just another ant out of 6 billion.

I've narrowed it down to a very few things. I may not get them all done in one lifetime.
