The Ghosts of My Life
The latest development in my life is that I’ve come to the conclusion that my career may, in fact, not be in the graphics business. I need a career that I can be more… certain of my constant employment. And I can still make websites on the side as contracts come my way. It’s just that, as of now, I really can’t see myself as able to put myself out there in the corporate world. There is so much competition, and I’ve heard from more than one source that graphic designers work nearly inhumane hours for not great pay. One of those sources was a teacher at college, so…
My parents suggested taking nursing to me in passing, and I think I’m rather warming up to the idea. Whatever I decide, though, it’s too late to apply for school in September, so this next year will be a year off school. I think this is good, though, because now I can get a full-time job to get some money, and do the random things that I should have done by now (driver’s license!) but haven’t.
I’m going to have to do some research on nursing to find out if it really is what I want, and with a strong will, I will not let the romanticism of working in a hospital like the cast members of House delude me…
I realized today that I am detached and torpid as far as relationships are concerned, as is (arguably) the rest of my generation. I suppose that is a bit extreme of a description, but… I was going to ask one of my SAIT friends if his child had been born yet, but then I decided, ‘eh, his msn name will change to that effect once it is born.’ How bad is that?
This afternoon I went over to Jen’s to watch Finding Neverland. It was good, I liked it. Since Jen’s creativity was so overflowing, we also sewed doll clothes while watching the movie. It was great fun, and now I know for sure that my true calling is indeed not in the fashion world!
