Aww, thanks anyway, Amy. If you do end up with some free time, let me know.

I don't know. When I did it, I thought Journalism was, if not practical, a vocational choice.(and it did mean I learned how to ask all sorts of questions and see and do a variety of things.) I wish now that I'd pursued more Spanish and more policy-related things. Sometimes I think the major/ Minor is too rigid.

Sean, you might want to look into electrical engineering and then specializing in sound. Would combine your hard earned skills with a very marketable degree.

Sean, it sounds like Laura and Calli are talking about the Strong Interest Inventory (SII). It is a very comprehensive tool and could be a great way to zoom in on what works for you. Word of warning, there is usually a charge for the test (my office charges $69, which is what we pay CPP for them.) However, we also often wave the fee for people who are un- or underemployed. Also, in our office, once you've taken the test, you sit down with a career counselor to analyze the results and work out a plan of where to start. It sounds like you're already off to a good one, researching schools and programs. You might want to find some clubs to join at your school for networking purposes. Plus, if there's a particular career you think would be awesome, find someone in the field and ask if you could spend some time job shadowing. Tons of ~ma for getting your degree in BAMFtitude.

Drew, that option is a serious contender. I've picked up a lot over the last almost ten years, so getting a degree in that field is high on the list.

And thanks for the thoughts and encouragement, people.

Aimee, so sorry for the loss for your family. {{{Joe, Emeline, Aimee, & Fam}}}

This is just the best. I got yet another email intended for someone else with my name (I've gotten many many of her emails over the years). I wrote back, as I always do, telling the sender that she had the wrong email address. She wrote me back, telling me "This is the email address I have for you and this is the address in which you received my email about Larry. I sent the email as a Bcc (blind copy) to everyone in the class and To (to) my address. Hope this clears it up for you."

So she's telling me I am in fact the person she's looking for? If they weren't in Nevada, I'd just show up and pretend I was the one they invited.

Much love and ~ma to the whole family, MM, Em, and MM's brother.

Zenkitty, that's just strange. It's not like your name is that unusual that the woman can't imagine she made mistake.

It looks like I'm going to have to go the route of taking the medication to induce the miscarriage sometime this weekend because it is just not happening naturally. I'm exhausted and sick of this.

ION, tonight we're having a big sale at the library bookstore. So, that should be a fun distraction.

Yes, Zen clearly you are mistaken in your belief that you are not OtherZen. Just stop fighting it and embrace the OtherZen-ness.

Huh, by this lady's logic, I really AM Dolores Beals (not even vaguely like my realname) whose mail keeps showing up at my house. So if I accept the next pre-approved credit card application in Dolores' name that appears in my mailbox, that'd be cool, right?
