of books and such

So tonight I was having an awkward "what are you doing with your life?" conversation with someone from work, and they asked the inevitable question for the english major: "And what are you going to do with a degree in English? Teach?" I almost cried. At least I do not have it as bad as Jayel's little brother, who told me he was majoring in creative

Ooooh, don't you even ask ME about books!!! I have some good 'uns for ya....we'll be in touch!

And I know how you feel about people asking you what you're going to do with your degree in English. It sucks, but I just go with the flow and say I'm going to teach, when in ACTUALITY I'm thinking about Editing/Publishing. Good times.

Woohoo! Book reccs from the Katie! I remember you saying how much you enjoyed "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" so I was thinking of picking that up. What else you got for me??

Haha... Everybody looks at me like a fool when I say I want to become an Art Therapist. Partly because they don't know what it is (and I do not have the proper skills to provide a decent explanation) and also because they think I'm some whacked out hippy. lol

BORDERS!!!! YAY!!! LB TIME!!! YAY!!!! when are you free, my love?
