That's Life

When I first started college my major was Philosophy/Pre-Law. It’s a major parents generally shed a tear of joy for because that means they get to rub it in people’s faces. The masses? When they here it they give the “Oooh,” you know the oh…the “My kid’s just a humanities major oh.” So my first semester, I took some gen eds and one philosophy class. It was boring. Beyond the big bank to be made, there was the family aspect. I was going to be a divorce attorney. Lawyers generally spend hours beyond hours on cases; they are generally on call. My main priority of the future is to be an awesome mom. “On call” can’t work. I gave up my top three dream jobs for this reason: Neurosurgeon, Marine Biologist, and Architect.
Eventually my major was history, because I love American History. It’s apart of me, my kids will bleed American knowledge just as much if not more than I do. They will have no choice. Ha. Anyway, I eventually got lazy when it came to school and decided to take the easy way out. I became an English major. In being an English major, I’d write, every English class ever I’d take, I’d accept nothing less than an A…or A-…whichever is the lowest. If anyone said it best, it was Hank Hill, “Bobby, you got an F in English…you speak English Bobby.” I don’t know why but that quote is one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard and well, I love it.
Career wise? I’d always have teaching to fall back on. Teaching is awesome. I dig kids, and my resume is full of kid stuff so, it’s bound to happen I suppose.
*Sidenote, I’m flipping the channels while I type this and they showed Bruce Jenner when he was young, boy that’s a sexy man. Haha. Anyway
No matter what I end up doing, my family will be first. Something funny, I’m currently single so I’m not even thinking about incubating a human being for 9 months right now. The father and I will eventually meet up, and figure out we can put up with each other for the rest of our lives…then we’ll tie the knot and start the circle of life. Idealistically my first born will be born sometime in 2013. Idealistically I will be married sometime before then. 2012? I guess…because 2011 is next year and that may be a tad too soon, but I dunno, things like that you can’t plan.
This is all coming up because I’ve reached the home stretch. I will be graduating from high maintenance spoiled kid university and I’m somewhat excited. We have two graduations so that’s weird. I’m deciding where to live after grad, if I do stay in the states, I’ve considered working abroad. I don’t know. If I do, there’s only one country I’m set on, so if not there, then here in the U S of A. I’ve already picked a city. The thought of all of this is nerve racking so I’m already giving myself a six month break after grad for the sake of my sanity.
