I can see in the dark...
Hey folks. I have a bit of interesting news for me... after much thought and consideration, I think I may have finally made my decision as to what I want to do with my life. I think I want to be a teacher... preferrably elementary, or possibly an art teacher. Or who knows, maybe I can be an elementary art teacher or something. It just seems to fit for me. I love kids, and I love art. Plus, my biggest concern about my choice of degree, being able to for sure get a real job after graduation, will be met. Plus I hear teachers have really good insurance, and that males have a better chance of getting hired than women. It's not fair, I know... but it's what I heard from Stephanie's mom who is a 2nd grade teacher. I mean when I really stop and think about this as my career, I feel really good about it. Sure, teachers might not make huge amounts of money... but it's a steady, respectable career. It's not fast-paced and high stress, which is very very important to me. I just look at all the angles and it seems like a great choice. I mean I'll have a Monday-Friday job where I work mornings and get out mid-day, all weekends, holidays, and summers off (which isn't really the main draw for me, but it's icing on the cake). I'm really excited about this right now, so hopefully everything will work out. I plan on seeking advice from Dan on how to approach getting my degree, and talking to people like my brother-in-law Rick who teaches, and even Stephanie's mom.
In other news, I have failed to mention for almost a week now that I have Placebo's new album "Meds". Well actually, it's a burned copy that I downloaded since the real version doesn't come out until April 4th, but I still plan on buying it, so I think it's ok that I have this illegal copy in the mean time. The album is without a doubt, Placebo's finest work. I won't go into a review of it (even though I kind of want to), but instead I'll list my favorite tracks so that you can give them a listen and hopefully go out and get the album when it hits shelves April 4th. As of right now, my favorite songs are:
1. Song To Say Goodbye
2. Drag
3. Pierrot The Clown
4. Follow The Cops Back Home
5. Infra-Red
The album easily gets an A+. Buy it.
So lately I've been wondering what my living conditions for next year are going to be. I'm not sure what Dan and Jeremy are doing, but if they're leaving the dorms I do not want to live with 3 new people. I want an apartment, but the issue is having someone to live with. I've asked Bret if he'd wanna come up and get a 2 room or something. I just don't wanna live with new people. And I think apartments are a good idea because they are so much less expensive than the dorms. Hopefully I can figure something out soon, because I'm fairly certain that if I want an apartment, I have to sign a lease pretty damn soon.
Well I suppose that is all for now. I hope everyone has a great day.
Oh, Stephanie and I bought Sonic Mega Collection for my Gamecube, and I've been in a Sonic frenzy lately. I love that little blue bastard.
