Small Town Survival

Last night I was trying to fall asleep but, as usual, I was attacked my the thoughts I hadn't paid attention to during the day. I also thought about how I should be writing because I like to and I think it's good practice. Not that I know what to write about -- it seems that a lot of interesting things are happening to other people but I'm here simply trying to figure out what's going to happen to me.

I guess I could talk about the white cake I made with a strawberry cream frosting that was highly complimented or the fact that it inspired me to clean out the fridge. That's the fridge that no one really noticed I cleaned (except my dad because he was around while I was doing it). I could talk about how I had to vacuum the spa room on three different occasions in the span of two days because the little terror thinks the potted plant is his personal playground. Even when we moved it outside he managed to climb into the pot. I'm not sure why he wants to play in a small pot when he has the whole backyard to entertain his every whim.

Indie and I even go for walks outback most days. I've been told those don't count as walking though because I wear sandals and it's not the treadmill. I was under the impression that a mile was a mile regardless of how you cover that mile. If I rowed a boat through the sand it would still be a mile is a mile is a mile. Anyway.

I'm also searching the classifieds in hope of finding something that peaks my interest or at least looks like I'm qualified to do. Of course, I've only half prepared my resume so I don't know what I'm looking for. I haven't even updated my portfolio. Then again I don't know that I want to go into advertising anymore. What I really want to do is teach, but I can't get into that until at least January and a lot of money later. Is it okay that I feel frustrated about not going to school for teaching when I might have known all along that it's what I wanted to do? Did I waste my time? I'm afraid to try for a fulltime job because I want the chance to go back to school. I even thought about being a nanny type. I don't know if that's for me. And in the end I have this bad feeling that no one is going to want to hire me anyway but that just comes back to the walking.

Again, in the meantime I'm working on my resume, getting a general idea of what my cover letter might look like and finishing up my portfolio. Oh, and filling out some forms in case I ever wanted MSU to process my graduation application.

So do you like the comments as a popup window or would you rather see them as part of the main page?
