vell, hello 'undead-journal'.

AAAHHHH i don't know what i want to do with my liiifffeeeeee

don't worry.  it's just that little mental crisis that happens once a year.  please remind me i'm not the only one, because i'm pretty sure i'm not.

i feel like, to do art (for a living) i have to be so way gung-ho about it i'll either do nothing else with my life and make it (sort of, somehow i don't see fame in my future), or do so and crash and burn.  and neither sound appealing to me.

and then, to teach art (for a living) i have to be completely head-over-heels-crazy about teaching, so i'll at least be a decent teacher and not feed into a whole generation of children hating art.  not that i think that i can be that influential, but you get the point.

i just don't know if i'd be a good teacher.  i know that i'd care about kids and try my best, but i just don't know if i'm cut out for beauracracy.  or if i'm a clear communicator.  or if i'm organized or patient enough.

yes, it'd be a challenge.  that's the point.  i'd want a job to challenge me.  but i've never had that clear feeling of knowing i was meant to be a teacher.  not like some people, at least.

plus, money.  hah.

i don't understand how people my age are getting married.  i feel like i can't even decide what i'm going to do or want in a day from now.
