"Hey, are you going to college?"
"Well, yeah, I guess I am...I mean, I'm registered and stuff..."
"Ah, cool. What are you going to study?"
"I dunno."
"What?! How can you not know? It's your career, your future! Don't you have any idea?!"
"Ehh...defense attorney maybe?"
"Why that?"
"'cause they get to point and yell and not get punished. Who wouldn't want that?"
The high school version of one of my characters, Katherine "Katja" Protz, and her train of thoughts with a nameless friend. I view her as being the intelligent-but-has-no-clue-about-her-future kind of kid, who just closed her eyes and picked a career to investigate.

Cel-shade wooh!
