Um.. Time flies fast when you're... well, busy I guess. I couldn't say having fun, but life isn't miserable at the moment either so we'll just leave it at busy, ok?
I'm wondering if I should delete my hosting account/URL. What do you people think? IF I do delete it, I'll just go back to my old one (http://aliengurl.blogspot.com) since that's free and easy enough to do. I kind of hate to give up this though, it's like my own little spot on the web. Even if I don't do anything with it, it's nice to have.
On the other hand... I'm also thinking about re-doing this site completely. Having an entrance page with links to journal/pics/whathaveyou. However this seems like entirely too much work for me. And I only have like 10 days left of vacation so maybe that's not such a good thing to undertake right now.
10 days left before school begins again. I'll be a junior! Impossible. I find it astonishing to think that I'm on the 2nd half of my college years now. And I've changed my mind, in one of my entire-life altering decisions I've decided NOT to become a lawyer. This subject has come up a lot as various friends find out I"m going back to school...
"back to the law books huh?"
--"no, I've decided not to be a lawyer."
"What are you taking now?"
--"I'm an english and philosophy major"
"So you're going to be a teacher."
Ahhhh! Honestly, I thought about becoming a teacher. And I decided I most likely won't be able to do it. I don't have the dedication it takes to grade papers when I'd rather be doing other stuff, nor do I have the patience to teach and inspire people to learn what they really don't want to. I just can't see myself becoming a teacher. And so when I answer negatively, I'm asked what I'm going to do then. "I don't know" is my reply. And I get a negative shake of the head. As if it really matters to them whether or not I'm happy with my career choice. Excuse me for not wanting to wake up when I'm 30ish and realize I hate my job. I want to be happy, dangit! :)

WHAT?! You're not going to be a lawyer? But years from now, when I'm a rich and famous writer, you were going to all my legal stuff for me, not to mention when I get sued for stalking and...
Er, I mean, if I ever needed the assistance of a wonderfully talented legal professional.

I'm just harassin' ya. I know it's got to be a hard choice, especially two years in, but it's your life. An education is never wasted... And you know, you're still young, you don't have to know what you want to do for the rest of your life yet. ;)
Seriously, though, if you ever need anything or want to vent, you've got my email addy. And if you don't feel like typing it all out, email me and tell me to call you, 'cause I'll do that too, lol.
And if people look at you funny for changing your mind, simply remember that a closed mind is like a closed book; it's just a block of wood, and anyone who doesn't respect your choice has a head made of pine.
And a lot of pine is made into toilet paper, so you know where their headed.
Catch ya later, Heather. ;) Hang in there.
