I'm so poor...

I was an English major for a month. 

Really! What happened there? 

[Samus Aran]

I could imagine us dual teaching the class, building off each others' ideas until we break into back and forth recitation, taking stanzas or character lines, until we start doing mirroredly synchronized dancing while shouting the same monologue with perfect symmetry.

that sounds amazing and a hell of a lot more fun than any class i'm taking right now

Really! What happened there? 

The idea of practicality kicked in.

I have absolutely no desire to go into journalism or to become a crusty old lit professor down the road, but I still love the literary arts.

A cousin of mine does a lot of freelance stuff and occasionally gets pieces published for a bigger city paper and has offered me a few opportunities to meet some people, but I'm not sure if I could handle that.

Regardless, I write daily and see it as more of an involved hobby than a potential career.

Who knows? Maybe some day I'll have the balls to actually flesh out ideas and build a novel, but doesn't everyone say that?

I had a great idea about two years ago and went a little wild on a single concept.
I had around a hundred pages of printed hard copy, but it's sitting back at my house somewhere.

I've soaked my brain with lit classes during my short college career so far, though.

Oh well.
There's still years and years and years.

Looking at my decisions for life, your average person would probably ask why the hell I bothered going to college. My major is a BFA in Creative and Professional Writing and I don't have any idea what I'm gonna do with it. All I want to do with my life is write, really.

Sometimes I feel like I've set myself up for a dead end, but at the same time, I don't care, because as long as I have writing and Hensa I'll be okay anyway.

And I don't care how much money it took, it was worth coming here just for learning to write more effectively, even if I'm still so pathetically naive in my craft.

I could teach European history/politics with me##

Or gym class

[Andria]

I will teach biology 

And I don't care how much money it took, it was worth coming here just for learning to write more effectively, even if I'm still so pathetically naive in my craft.

I wouldn't worry too much about that writing especially is a craft most people never fully master its just something you build on and make your own over time and you have plenty of that.

Without being a sappy, cliche moron, if it makes you happy, play that hand.
I'm still kind of mushing my way around here, poking here and there and trying to find a direction, which may be the wrong thing to do, but It doesn't bother me.
Sure, money woes are stressful at times, but that comes with the turf. And I love playing around with an arsenal of knowledge that actually pertains to things that I love.

Fo shizzle, 100%. I can also relate to some of what Kaz has to say as well.

oh i know, but as much as i love that it's like an odd, amorphous, absorbent, ever-changing, malleable, growing piece of human spirit, i still sometimes wish it would hurry up and grow a little faster

oh i will, kind sir, i will

I've been thinking about college for math and music. The music is a must, that's what drives me and gives me soul. But that's not the only thing that inspires me, I really like math too. So I figure, I end up being a music/math major at a strong college, manage to squeak in a day job somewhere, and keep playing piano, playing at clubs occasionally. Since I'm a hard worker, did well and probably will do well in school, if I don't get fired for my birth defect, I'll probably get a solid enough day job. It's not very romantic, and I think the pragmatism of it is overrated. I don't ever want to give up my dream of being a recording artist, however much I won't actually mind having a day job. Doing community organizing stuff would also be really nice too, I guess.

So: rock on Kaz and Boognish. I figure as long as I'm honest with myself and do what I can, it'll work out at least passably.

I love writing but I don't want to start sounding pretentious in everything I say what do I do ;_;
