back-up plan
i used to have a back-up plan ... in case this whole graduate school thing doesn't work out. i haven't really thought about it recently, but i think that it's about time to think about it again. in case the whole renewal doesn't work out, you know. so it used to be that i was going to be a back-up dancer for a boy band, but boy bands don't really exist anymore (that and i'm not all that in shape to be a dancer). so i have to come up with something else. not really sure what i could make a living at, though. that's the tough thing. so far, the best thing that i've come up with is to be an athletic trainer for a professional sports team. which isn't all that exciting. i mean i guess it could be, but it's definitely not at the same level as being a boy band back-up dancer. maybe it's time to take another one of those job tests, although the last one i took said i should be a dictionary editor. as if that's exciting. the problem is that since i've been all about science for the past 3 years that i don't know what's out there anymore. the science killed my imagination on that front. i guess my problem also is that i feel like if i'm not going to do science that i should do something extraordinary and unique, as opposed to being a bartender or secretary or waitress. i guess there is always that old standard back-up of becoming someone's trophy wife, but i'd have to look pretty all the time, and i think that's pretty silly. that and i'd have to find some rich person who's willing to marry me. too bad you can't just be a trophy person, and people just give you money because they think you're cool. oh but then i'd have to be cool. this will require some more thought.
