Welcome to Gaia! ::

I just had buttload of ******** unbelievable dreams and the only thing that made me realize "hey, this isn't possible, I must be dreaming!" is when I played Nintendo Land and found that there was a Kirby attraction.

I know this won't work, but you should support it for me anyway. http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/16218

I swear I'll murder the next person who asks if I'm planning on becoming a teacher.

No but whatever I'm gonna be, it's not going to be a teacher

I just hate how whenever I say I'm majoring in English and Sociology (which I have to tell people all the time because everyone is hella boring and doesn't know what else to talk to me about aside from school), half the people ask if I'm going to become a teacher like that's the only reason anyone would ever study those subjects. Like they assume that the fact that I'll have a university degree will be useless just because I majored in those subjects... unless I'm planning to teach those subjects or something. Those people make me feel like my entire life is a waste.

Sociology (and also philosophy) majors are popular with teachers from what I've heard. And English is just something that people think of as a subject. Like if you majored in math.

Most people kinda take that stuff for granted, since it's so essential. Probably deeply ironic that they do.

I just want to be able to apply for any job and be like "hey, I have a BA from this good school which is proof that I'm smart so hire me"

Who gives a s**t what subject it's in?

I just applied for graduation from my gen ed program at a junior college. I kinda finished it last spring, but I didn't want to go anywhere.

I still don't, really.

I want to study crafts, like, clay or wood. Probably wood. The school in my city, VCU, which is pretty well known as an art school, offers both, but in the wood crafts program, which is more a furniture making degree, you're encouraged to study multiple media, so I could probably keep making pots, I guess? Also I want to learn to work with glass?

But people keep telling me I'd make a good teacher, and I don't really disagree with them? I was thinking for a while about studying art ed, but I kinda want to do my own thing before worrying about education, because I'll need a masters anyway :I

If I go to VCU I can commute like a half hour from my house, or I can live in the city limits, which I am kinda reaaaaally am uneasy about?
