Man, I have just coasted through this month. I can't believe it's already the 20th.
I need to sit down and make a handful of goals to accomplish
in November. Before I know it, the year
will be over, and other than getting into college, what have I truly
accomplished?
Paula (a good friend) came out to my campus today at the
after school program, to sub in for one of my aid's that's out for the
month. And we got to talking about me
getting into grad school and how I'm hoping to be a librarian, though, if we
were talking super dream jobs, I would love to work with historical
manuscripts.
And she cut me off and said I should go for what makes me
happy. The money will come later. And then asked honestly, how much money do I
need to make? And blah, blah, blah.
I mean, I know she's coming from a good place. And I know she only wants what is best for
me, but I am so tired on the same standard Hippy answer. I have coasted this far in life. I am quite pleased with what I've
accomplished on so little money. But I'm
ready for a change.
Besides, she's still trying to convince me to come work at
the Chinese school with her. She wants
me to teach English (like grammar and writing, not the actual language). And while most of the time, I have no problem
doing a job because it pays decently, I really, REALLY do not want to
teach. I can't explain it, but I just
shudder at the thought of teaching. Which
is hilarious, given that I've been working in child care for almost 2 decades
now. ::shrugs:: But it is what it is, and I just don't want
to do that at all.
And then, add in, that it would be my THIRD job. And that Saturdays are the ONLY day that I
have 100% off to myself. So yeah. Thanks, but hell fucking no thanks. ::laughs::
