Gee, my online chronicling is almost as reliable as my private diary-keeping! A writer, I'm not. (Plus there's something inherently embarrassing about writing about boring events that you yourself already experienced, and you have no call for an audience of any sort ( Read more... )

I see your arbitray entry filled with jarbled angsty babble and raise you one journal filled with pointlessly literary angsty babble.

Trench here, by the way. Good to see you around Kate. My brother's girl is a recently graduated marine biologist, so i can ask her for pertinent info if you want...

I think it's awesome you're going back to school. More than anyone else I know, you wear every bit of education you've ever gotten on your sleeve and it's time to top off that tall glass with some more.

#1 - You don't have to end up in any job you don't want to end up. Consider my life. Consider Jonah's life. Consider Bookhouse's life -- a fellow Wisconsinite, with a degree in LIBRARY SCIENCE, now with his name (and photo) all over Yahoo! Movies, who paid a silly sum for his personal Web site. He now writes about the movies, goes to premieres and all the rest. Just because he wasn't interested in settling for what seemed inevitable.

#2 - There are many jobs that would use your English skills without requiring you to become William Shakespeare. I could get you a newspaper job tomorrow, working as an editorial assistant. That's a job with a future and a wide range of different job functions. Of course, said job is in SoCal ...
