I get nostalgic 'bout the last 10 years, before the last 10 years've passed...

I wish I had a magic glass orb I could look into that would show me where I'm going to be in 3 years. It would make life easier. I would know things like, "You can't find a job because you didn't take such-and-such class, and I would take the class." and "You end up married to a hobo" and I would... well, I'm not sure what I'd do about that. Maybe break up with William and find someone who's actually interested in a future (who isn't a hobo) and get together with him to prevent marrying a dead-beat. Plus, I would know if I end up glad or regretting my major. It's a bit late to change now, but y'know... at least I could take a minor in something important like business... lol.

*sigh*

About once a year (in my life) someone brings up the idea of teaching english in a foreign country. I always think/say it sounds really cool, but that I'd probably never do it. But... I mean... why wouldn't I? I love traveling. One of my bucket list items is to live in a foreign country. I do well in new places. I don't know... maybe that's what I'll do when I get out of school.

Eventually I want to teach elementary music, but I don't have the teaching experience, so teaching English elsewhere would give me that. Instead of having to go through Truman's stupid Pre-MAE program. I'm sorry, but when something is "Pre-degree" you always (or I always) expect the degree to be something doctoral, and really intense (years of schooling-wise) like Pre-med, and Pre-law. *shrugs* Truman likes to toot their own horn a lot though so...

It's a good school, don't get me wrong, but they deceive you. When you're in high school, and all... impressionable. They make it sound like going anywhere else would just be foolish. "We give you so much money it's practically free! and we're as awesome as Ivy League schools!" ok, A. no, you give Freshman money. Then you make us work for it, and require the most ridiculous standards to keep them. B. shut up. Harvard would laugh in your face "Harvard of the MidWest." ...please... Don't try to tell me I'm going to a Harvard-comparable school. No way could I have stood a chance getting into Harvard. Nor would I want to (too expensive).
