a future full of doing what I love.

I know, this is my third post today.
get over it. I need to write this.

when I say that I don't want a career, I am not saying that I don't want a job.
by "career" I mean a profession in which one desires to progress.
I mean a full time job that ends in retirement.
I mean the kind of job that gives six weeks of maternity leave and two weeks of paid vacation each year.
I don't want that, not because I don't think women should have jobs, but because I think I shouldn't have a job.
by "think" I mean to imply leading from God, thank you.

this does not mean that I am going to give up on the things that I love.
-music and theatre will always play a huge role (yeah, notice the pun, even if the grammar is a little sketchy) in my life. God has given me this love and talent, and I will use it as He leads me.

-food usually makes people happy.
I like making people happy.
I will make food for people.

-I am a little bit obsessive about making formal writing seem professional and intelligent.
I love literature.
I love high school-age students.
I have loved going over papers with my friends, dissecting each paragraph and sentence in order to clearly state the intended meaning.
tutoring high school students in English seems to be a perfect fit.
(no, I don't always follow the rules of English in my posts. I follow the rules of my own writing style.)


so, don't get the wrong idea about me. I'm not planning to be the wife who depends on her husband for every financial need. I do want to have a job.
and I'm not going to stop using the talents and passions that God has given me.
please don't misunderstand me.
I'm not just at college to find a man and get my Mrs. degree.
I'm here to learn. I'm here to gain experience.
I'm here because this is where God wants me right now.
and that is the only thing that I know for sure.
