Someday Can Not Be The Ruler of Today

So my dream is that someday I'll be able to attend Yale University for a master's degree in photography, but I've come to realize you can't live for someday. Right now I am living with my life on hold because I am waiting for things to change in the future, but the thing is I need to be living for now because what I am hoping for it is about as likely as winning the lottery. every year 1500 people apply to the Yale photo program and every year they only accept seven. That means my chances are less than 1 in 200 any given year. So if I want a real shot at going to that program I'm really going to need to bring up my grade point average and build a more impressive resume as which includes having some profound life experiences. The thing I most want to do right now is moved to Paris for a couple of years. I was thinking I could get a 4 x 5 view camera and a digital back with a laptop and take photographs of tourists in importance landscape locations and then use my iPhone to sell them the digital files I can email them. or maybe I could be an au pair or something like that.
