| two things that are mildly inappropriate and therefore i can't post them anywhere else... (damn)
1. Heard a funny quote on a tv show the other day, "Today I'm handing out lollipops and ass-whippings, and I'm all out of lollypops."
2. My friend has a pet frog. She decided to buy another frog so they could have babies. But now the frogs (who are nocturnal) keep her up all night with their croaking during froggie love-making. "I don't think that this was a very well thought out plan!"
ROFL... okay now homework time! | | |
| blog now? who redesigned xanga with a "blog now" button.... seriously.
I think living with freshmen for another year *might* kill me. ugggg... apartment anyone?
oh and i found out that i may not hear about the assistant hall director job until... August??!! and i still haven't heard back from campus life, despite my now obsessive e-mail checking.
I hate waiting. | | |
| yipes... i guess that's what happens when you don't get on xanga for a while, they change everything and it takes you ten minutes to figure out how to add a new post.
It seems as though i'm well overdue for a life crisis. I never really had the whole "what do I want to do with my life" crisis during undergrad. I just picked a major, picked a minor after I took a class that i liked and violá I had a degree program. Then I swapped them so that i ended up with a Economics major, and a Spanish minor. (ooo... intense). But now after taking a few more economics classes i'm reconsidering studying economics for grad school. and what to i want to study instead? Arts Mangement.
Here's why: 1) I have good business sense (at least i think so) 2) I like the fine arts 3) Because i'm a musician too, I could bring a lot to the position (ie not just be a bean counter but understand what really goes on in the orginzation.) 3) I love the idea of being able to contribute to a greater cause. 4) why the hell not?!
Here's my problem: mis padres. They think i've gone crazy... maybe. I mean i suppose it's my own fault since i chose one of the most universal and practical undergrad majors and now i want to study something less universal. If i would have been smart I would have minored in something reltively useless like underwater baset weaving or history so that when i picked Arts Management as a grad program they would have been thrilled because it is something you can get a job in. But no such luck.
So here's my current situation: I need to register for classes soon-ish. (yipes) i've applied for a grad assistant position that i might not get because i'm not offically an Arts Management student yet. (yipes) And my parents insist that i will never be able to find an arts management job and will end up with some shit job like our family friend Joe who was a history major and currently manages a warehouse. (yipes)
There's two types of people I don't argue with: crazy people and my parents. (for the synical reader, they are definatly not one in the same.) Currently i've been trying to contact a few people who i know through other people who work in the arts management field and the response has been mostly good stuff. They're working, they're not starving and they love their job.
Good luck convincing my parents of this.
I think what it boils down to is me having a "it's my life not yours" and "i know you mean well but i really want to do this so i will" conversation with my parents.
And that is just to scary to think about right now.

If you would like to read it, sign in and read away (note: the post is NOT for the faint of heart). if you can't read it still... and you would like to, leave me a comment and i'll add you to the list. For the faint of heart, here's the nuts and bolts of the whole thing:
"I feel like my life has been put on a fiber regimine. i know it
will be healthy for me in the end, but for right now things are
disgusting, messy, and unpredictable. ug" | | |
