What's a Girl to Do?

As I scroll from place to place, constantly clicking, I realize the reason I began this blog. Yes at first it was out of boredom but also it's because I want to be a writer. Er... at least I think I do. That's the problem.. I have no idea what I want to do with my future. Where do I want to go to college? What do I want to major in? Minor in? I have no idea.

I have interests of course but I can't see myself sticking to one final thing. Have you ever seen the movie Monster-In-Law? You know the one with Jennifer Lopez? LOVE that movie!! But anyways, she seemed to be doing okay as a temp. She never really settled on one thing and now I wonder is that my destiny? Will I be okay if I don't have one set job but rather many ones? Who knows... anyways here are some of my ideas for the future (I love making lists! I wonder if that could qualify as a job: official list maker extraordinaire! Hey it could work...haha)

1. a chef/baker- I love to cook

2. an environmentalist or some kind of humanitarian

3. a Journalist

4. a translator especially for the French language

5. become apart of the video making world

6. an inventor

7. a high school French teacher

8. a cat lady!! oh wait...I don't believe that's an occupation.. CURSES!

9. yeah that's all I got forget # 9

So yeah I have absolutely no idea what to do but I'm considering my options... and trying to find a solution. There's got to be one out there---I just haven't found it yet, or rather it hasn't found me yet--- :)

500 Days of Summer Dance, Dance

This is a really great movie! Kind of bittersweet but still really good.. :) I would recommend seeing it! This is one of my favorite parts..haha. It cracked me up...

A Little Doodle or Two...

My sister Callie makes the cutest little doodles! Many times when we're sitting at the computer we'll pass little post-it note doodles back and forth. As result I have many cute ones from her! Usually mine aren't quite as impressive..heehee.

But these are some of my favorite ones from her:

Pretty impressive, eh?

I know it's been forever since I've made a post..duly noted. It's unfortunate but school was been crazy lately... especially since the dreaded FINALS have begun *gasp*! But anyways!
