... of becoming an English teacher.
But out of seemingly nowhere, why....
This morning, during my writing workshop in my poetry class, I thought, "I need to be a poetry prof."
It'll keep me creatively challenged and engaged, right? I'll be around smart people, right?
So.... MAYBE.... I'd certainly rather be doing that than Wal*Mart and bartending.... one flaw in bartending is I have a hard time staying awake past nine pm. 
Really weird to think about teaching. Not weird, though, to be thinking about teaching poetry. Teaching creative writing makes almost as much sense...

The only anime that I've seen was "Spirited away," which I loved. I would like to have seen "Princess Mononoke," but it ended before I got a chance to see it.
