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.

Dear Miss Mallory - Don't stress so about what you want to "be". It will all become clear as long as you listen to your heart, think with your head, and only do what will make you happy. If writing is your passion go for it!! You can do anything you set your mind to. And...you would make a great teacher/professor, too, so if that would help you get to your writing dreams then....go for it!! PS...
all your talk (and Shannon's too) about not liking kids is flying out the window with your posts about the new baby. You both sound just as excited as all the rest of us with the coming addition to our family!! :) He is cute isn't he!!
Oh I'm much less annoyed by this entry than I am of hearing your voice on my phone going, "What should I do with my life??" How do I know? Anyway, it is cool that you are a double major now and that we have an excellent new president. Hope won!
Take it from me...you have plenty of time. Other than the rare group of people who know what they want to do for the rest of their lives (Dr. Shannon) the majority of the world have a hard time figuring it out by their mid-20s. There will be multiple changes and things will randomly fall into place. Just do what makes you happy right now and stop worrying about planning every aspect of your future. Also, try not to make timelined goals (ex: I need to have a career by the time I am 25). They only set you up for rushing things or being extremely disappointed. Stop being a stress ball and let things happen :) You could call my BS, but in my head I am very wise...Ha!!
