I have turned over a new leaf. Saturday was a strange turning point for me. I decided a few things:

1. I don't want to be ugly anymore.

Ha ha. You're thinking: not much you can do; you either got it, or you ain't. But there are things that can be done, and I did a couple of them. I went to the salon, and they snipped, cut, dyed and styled me into my new look--Cameron Diaz with auburn and copper hair. Okay, okay. I look nothing like Cameron Diaz. I don't even want to look like her. I do look much improved.

Then I bought fancy styling products, and even a "new" dress from Savers. Yes! I also purchased contacts, and I plan to actually get up early enough each day to style my hair and apply makeup. Ah the torture of being beautiful.

2.The teaching profession doesn't need me in it.

Good thing too, because I realized I don't want to try being a teacher for even one day.Yikes! What did I almost do to myself? I ignored all the signs: I dislike nearly all teenagers, I hate public speaking, I don't like being cheesy, I despise being creative on demand, I hated all my teaching classes. Someone was trying to tell me something, and that someone was me. I wasn't listening before, but I surely am now. "I refuse to be a teacher!"

Don't ask me what I'm going to do now. I'm enforcing a 'don't ask, don't tell' policy. Don't ask; I won't tell you, because I really haven't the faintest idea what I'm going to do with the rest of my life.

So now I need your help. Think of all the cool/interesting professions you know of, and give me some suggestions! I'm a graduate of the liberal arts, especially language and literature, but I'm open to EVERYTHING. Sign my guestbook or e-mail me with suggestions. I'll let you know which one I decide on. (At the end of the week I'll gather the suggestions, put them in a hat, reach my hand in and pull out the profession that is lucky enough to get me.)
