my heart's in overdrive and you're behind the steering wheel
*rocks out*
I feel good today. Really good. It was one of the best weekends on record for me, I do believe. Well, ok, besides the fact that my cat is sleeping on my lap and every 5 minutes, a smell extremely similar (and extremely strong) to rotten eggs seeps out from him. *gags on horrible smell*
I have somehow pulled myself out of my post-election blues. I think it's because I am going to live in denial for the next four years and I am actually looking forward to it as a challenge. *sticks tongue out playfully and giggles* I also have decided on a career path of sorts. Would you like to hear? Of course you would, you're reading this aren't you? *is getting pompous*
Well, I've decided that I have two and a half more years of federal education benefits. With this time and free schooling, I realized that I should get some more schooling under my belt. A career that I ran into while "career searching" for my career & life planning class was Desktop Publishing. It is not necessarily a career that I would want to have for the rest of my life (that sounds oddly like a terminal disease when I put things that way...), but it is something I believe I could master and possibly even enjoy until I can get a Master's degree in Library Science. In the meantime, I'm keeping my ear to the ground for a proofreader/copy marker job. And then, in between the completion of my two-year Desktop Publishing and the beginning of my Master's degree work, I could go to Japan and teach English. It would work out well, if my life doesn't shake up too much in the next two and a half years. Don't worry--I know I sound really optimistic (and this is unusual for me). I am keeping my feet on the ground and know that life doesn't go as planned (as I, myself, have stated many times in this blog). But I am hopeful, with a dose of realism mixed in.
Anywho--I started my job on Thursday. It is ok. The first day really sucked. But then again--when doesn't the first day suck? Come to think of it--the second day sort of sucked too. I hope it gets better. But I will stick with this job for a while (it is only a temporary position anyway). I will keep my eye on the proofreader/copy marker market and hopefully be ready to take on a new and different position when this job has worn on me.
Um...I think that's it. I hope that everyone had good weekends, and I will blog as soon as I can think of something more interesting to say. After all, it is never quite as satisfying to read about someone who is happy, ne? ^_^
OH--and some links that I have found interesting over the past few days....

How I Broke the Habit (oh, did I mention I quit smoking last Sunday? I did. But this probably wasn't the advice that helped.) ;P

And this is
old news...but I am a
