So I've gone through quite a bit of career choices in the past few years. Mentally of course, seeing as how I've only had one job my entire life...not counting babysitting and some house cleaning. The most recent decision (and I'm thinking I probably will finally stick with this one) is that I'm going to get a degree in Creative Writing. That way I can write at home or get my teaching credentials and teach an English class somewhere.
So in order to get said degree, I'm going to start by getting my general education done at BC. I've already taken the first steps for that particular goal. I took the assessment test today. I rocked all the tests. I blazed through them and got near perfect scores. Except for trig...I did really bad on that...but I still got level 6s for everything (that's the highest). I'm debating whether I should take a summer class or get a job...or both...or something...*sigh* I'll decide later.
Oh, speaking of jobs...anyone know any that I could get? I'd prefer one in town but if there's a summer camp out of town....I'd consider that...
Anyway, no local colleges have a creative writing class, so I'll have to go somewhere like Long Beach, San Bernardino, or Northridge. I want to stay in California and keep it kinda cheap, so these are my 3 top choices to transfer to from the BC. The main problem is that the programs want you to choose between poetry and prose. I want both. And scriptwriting. But the colleges with scriptwriting are almost 10x as expensive, so I'll stick with just creative writing for now. Maybe I'll get in a degree in poetry and fiction prose...
I've realized that it would be a sin for someone as intelligent as me not to get multiple degrees. So next time I start whining and complaining at school, just remind me that I said this.
Ok, so I bet some people are wondering why I changed from Nursing to Creative Writing. It's actually a fairly simple explanation: I hate science, but I enjoy writing. It took me a while to realize this because I HATE English classes. Except when we're doing poetry or writing stories...and I realized how much I like writing scripts after I signed up for the Scriptwriting competition for Spotlight Festival. I enjoy writing. It's still no what you might call a passion, but I really enjoy it.
So what is my passion? It took me pretty long to figure that one out to. And then I realized that I'd known all along. My passion is babies!! I want to get married and have babies because I love babies! I wouldn't mind being a foster mom either. And do lots of charity work and stuff. I like helping people...
And I think that's all I have to say about college...
Also, my birthday is coming up soon!! Buy me presents! I love presents! ...cash works too...I like money too....

Jeff says get a philosophy degree. And he's not kidding about it, either.
I want to be a foster mom, for family groups. But I have to wait until it's the right time for our family.
