I'm sitting at work right now and I have just realized that I have nothing to do today. Yesterday I was here for 4 hours and I finished up 2 papers, submitted them, and wrote down some notes on some note cards for my presentation tomorrow. In those 4 hours, I was able to accomplish quite a bit and I have been at work for about 45 minutes (technically more than that but I've only been "on the clock" for about that long) and I've gotten absolutely nothing done thus far. I just realized how bored I'm going to be today (since I'm here until 5 and I have nothing to do) and I wish I would have thought about bringing something in, like a book or something to work on. It feels so weird not having homework to get done.

My cousin's baby shower is this Saturday and that's really exciting for me! I wasn't able to make it to her son's baby shower 3 years ago (I don't remember why), so I'm really looking forward to being there for this one because I think this might be her last child. We still haven't picked up a gift for her yet, and we're supposed to bring a pack of diapers so we can be entered in a drawing for some prizes, but I figure we'll probably get all of that on Friday...we like to do things last-minute in my family. ;p

I've been thinking a lot lately about my future and what I want to do after graduation, and I'm drawing a bunch of blanks. I know that I want to graduate with my BS in Education and that I don't want to continue on to get my Master's, but I really don't know what job opportunities will be available to me with just my Bachelor's. We have a Career Services Director in the office where I work, so I figured that I would make an appointment to speak to her sometime in the Fall and try to figure out a career plan/path, but I thought I should do something thinking on it before I meet with her.
I've done that thinking, and I still can't come up with anything. I know a bunch of people around me have plans for what they'll be doing and they're already well on their way to accomplishing their goals...people that are a few years younger than me. That makes me feel very behind.
I've made some other life goals outside of my future career, but some of those might depend on my having a job. What I'm really worried about right now is having to pay my loans back after school. I really don't want to have to deal with that 6 months after graduation, but hopefully I'll be smart and start saving up towards the end of the school year next year and during that 6 months so that it won't be that much of a burden on my bank account. But I doubt it.

Well I know that if you plan on teaching, you have like 5 years or so to get your masters....and [in Ohio at least] if you don't have your master's in that 5 year period, you can't teach anymore. So that might be something you want to consider.
I love bitching about the rest of my life :D
LOL, I'm ready to be home for the summer, but I may be calling you a lot to get out of the house, I have a feeling that being around my sister with the way she is right now is going to make me want to kill myself, for real.
