Underwent a late-night four shot espresso injection; therefore, blog. Turns out caffeine is the annihilator of study time; therefore, historic fail tomorrow. I don't wanna be awake forever, so I'll make this quick. But first! Music video.
Well, I can't figure out how to embed it right. Anyway, it was "Ghost of You" by My Chemical Romance. I'll let you know if ever there is a better music video created. Also, "I Don't Love You" by them.
I didn't mention this before, but under heavy coercion I gave blood last week, and I did it like quite the pro. Also I went to my first haunted house Saturday night, followed by Paranormal Activities 3, both of which were lovely.
I just dropped my pencil in the lobby and couldn't find it. I did, however, come upon two quarters under the couch cushions while looking for it, so I'd say it was worth the loss.
I really liked Dr. Donna Jacobs' outfit. Did you know that a teacher with a bachelor's degree generally receives the same pay as a teacher with no degree? Of course, it'd probably be easier to get a job with a degree.
She talked about how appearances can make or break your career. I know this is especially true in teaching younguns, but I think it can apply to everyone. She said, "If you think it doesn't look quite right, don't do it." Don't touch it, don't think it. That's really just a good life guideline. It actually helped me make a decision today.
I liked that she brought up the fact that you might have to leave home to get experience in your job. That's just how it is. If you wanna get hired as a teacher and actually make money, guess what? You probably don't need to chill out in North Alabama after you graduate from this fine institution. You should probably move to Alaska. I am a fan of that concept. If I want to be a good writer who actually has something to talk about, I don't need to hole up in my living room. I am resolved to study in France at one point in my college career, and mission work in Africa is a yes.
She also talked about integrity in your work, starting with pre-job surface stuff, like Facebook and hygiene. That got me thinking about my blog and how irreverent I sometimes am. But I think if I wanna be a writer, I need to have an individual style. I think frankly; why shouldn't I write frankly? I would also like to think, though, that I have a good capacity for respect for others. Even if I'm not incredibly in-tune to what's going on around me, I can crank out some good, common coexistence. Considering where I would like to go with my career, I think my blog is fairly on base, even if it likes to steal between pitches.
That's not to say I don't doubt myself sometimes, that my college direction is set in stone. Last weekend when I went home, my mom mentioned in passing that I would make a good student counsellor, which of course pitched me into an OMG WHAT AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE moment. It's weird, being so early in the "choosing your future" game. I see it swirling all around me in other students, and just when I think I have some certainty as to what I want, I get confused. The Plan, thus far: Major = Professional Writing. Minor = French.
It makes sense, I promise. I have some crazy life aspirations. But what if I need something a little more stable to fall back on during the lulls? I can totally see myself telling people what their problems are or planning their schedules or whatever it is counsellors do. According to Dr. Donna, "Just because you need counselling doesn't mean you should be a counsellor." So I guess from here, all I have to do is avoid becoming insane.
I really, really, like the fact that she is doing what she has wanted to do since the seventh grade, has obviously excelled at it, and has personally rejected Oprah. Life should not be a prison, you know? Why follow money, when there are so many opportunities to make your desires work? "You get to decide what you do and how you do it" - if you stop trapping yourself and making up restrictions.
Sleepy time.
