Save the Brain

Since I woke up this morning I have had an intense fear of getting dumber with age.
This is why I feel I can't stop going to school now, otherwise I'll just get worse at writing shitty papers I don't care about. I'm not even sure why this matters.
And why is everybody I know at school so sure of themselves? Why does school have to be the way it is?
I am not destined for a career in academics.
I should be working on a farm. Or in the bush. Or on a boat. Or open a pub. Or in a garden. Or in a clinic. Or at a library. Or be a lifeguard. Or become a carpenter. Or operate a food cart at the beach. Or work in daycare. Or in an old folk's home, where I'd read them their favourite books and bake cookies and listen to their old, mean, tired complaints.
