I think I've finally decided what I want to be when I grow up. I want to be an educator. As such, that means I want to either teach, work in a museum, or write. I want to teach people things. I want to inspire people. I want someone to learn something new/cool/interesting/useful from me. I don't know anything else beyond that. I don't know what ( Read more... )

And I love it. It's 76, but very breezy. Adam and I went for a walk this morning when it was still 63 and it was beautiful. It felt like September. Or early October. I don't know why I want it to be fall, but I do. It seems like I'm never happy with the season I'm in. Plus, the fact that I found a recipe for pumpkin/apple coffee cake doesn't help ( Read more... )

Let's see if this one comes through. I doubt it. Just like I doubted the other one. I can't help myself from getting my hopes up. At this point I think anything would be better than where I am now. But, I'm scared that if I do make the leap and go somewhere else that I'll never get finished with my Master's and that Adam and I will be broke again. ( Read more... )

No surprise, I didn't get the museum job I applied for. How am I supposed to get experience in a museum if no one will hire me, though? And please don't tell me to intern. I have a full time job and grad school to deal with. I don't have time to intern ( Read more... )

We got home from Arizona this morning around 1 am. I had a great time and Adam and Dad really got along, so I'm happy. I picked up a bug on the plane ride out there, so I'm kind of pissed. But whatever. I had some epiphanies while I was out there.

• Illinois sucks. Big time.

• I want to move somewhere warmer, but not necessarily somewhere with dry ( Read more... )

Since Adam went to bed, I guess I have time to type this real quick.

My New Year's Resolutions, in no particular order:

• Get back on a weekly cleaning schedule

• Get back on an almost daily workout schedule. Aim for 30 minutes, at least 5 days a week. The goal is stress relief and hormone/insulin control - if I happen to lose weight along the way ( Read more... )

I'm hoping for a lot of changes - for the better. Maybe I'll get more verbose later. Right now I'm just too tired. Actually, I just need to take my contacts out...

Work was infinitely better than yesterday. Tim wasn't there. Lisa wasn't there. The secretaries went home by 4. It was kind of slow in some spots and crazy busy in others, but all in all, I didn't leave work wanting to slit my wrists. I'd consider that a perk ( Read more... )

Work was actually ok today, despite the fact that Tim continued to be an asshat. Lisa wasn't there, so that helped immensely. I bought a book because of those two idiots. Dealing with People You Can't Stand. It's already shipped and I just bought it. I'm actually quite looking forward to it ( Read more... )
