Victorious

Well, our stupid state didn't turn blue. But apparently our county did! So there's that small victory. And the big one where we have a new president whom I can actually stand behind! Now all we have to do is get through this lame duck period and we'll be on our way.

As for news about me, well, I'm double majoring now in History and English. It may be a news to people outside of my immediate family but I have no clue what I'm doing with my life. I want to write and be a writer and get published, however, that doesn't pay the bills immediately. So I have to figure out if I want a career in something else. Should I be a professor? If so, in what? Literature, creative writing, history? (Yeah, I like history!). Or should I try to be in publishing? Or should I have a job that doesn't relate in any way to my majors? Should I have a job that just pays the bills so I can write but doesn't go anywhere?

You see my dilemma. I'm having a hard time with the last option just because I'm used to the idea of a career and getting a career and holding that career. It could take me years and years and years to get published and I don't think I want to get stuck in a job that sucks. So I'm going to the Career Center on campus to see if they'll tell me what to do with my life because right now I'm overwhelmed.
So I'll let you know when I know what the H I'm gonna do after graduation.

Shannon is sooo going to be annoyed with this entry. Oh and I'll post Halloween pictures soon too.
