The one with careers.

I blog a lot about dreams.
Not like, sleep dreams. Awake dreams.
I blog about my passions, my goals, my asperations and what I want in life. And most of you know that I am going to school for teaching.
If you didn't know that, you must be the one person who found my blog by mistake.
I want to be a teacher more than anything. Well. I say that. But what I really mean is, there has been no other career goals I have had.

However, lately I have considered some other career options. Please tell me what you think:
1. Stand up comedian
2. Actress
3. Traveling photographer
4. Author
5. Traveling "musician"
6. Model
7. Mime
8. Reality tv star
9. Traveling youth speaker
10. "Community" fan club president
11. Marketing agent for a band/famous person
12. Cheerleader
13. Dancer, but not in a gross way
14. A youtube star
15. Company owner
16. Inventor
17. Mad scientist
18. And a philospher

........or not.

I'll just stick with teaching. I really do love it. It's amazing. It's challenging. It makes want to be better. It's probably more difficult and more rewarding than any of those on the list.

Except maybe the mime. But I'm still perfecting my "stuck in a box" act.

The one with the middle.

You remember that Jimmy Eat World song: The Middle? It feels very applicable to me. And, have you heard the Paramore song: Caught in the Middle? Also applicable. It's been two months since this school year started. I wish I could say it's getting better. I wish I could say it's been a good year so far. But it's been a really tough year of teaching already. It's really no one's fault- students, admin, parents- it has nothing really to do with them. It's just been, tough. I feel like honestly, it's kind of a waste of energy trying to pinpoint one problem that I am having, when in reality- it's possible that I am not supposed to be doing this anymore. Okay. I feel like I should be a teacher. But I don't know if I should be doing this . Does that even make sense? Probably not. I just feel really stuck at this moment. Because I want to do a good job while I am here, but I also am waiting for what I am meaning to do next. I want to serve my curren

The one with hallway.

I don't have an idea for this blog. That is why it's been a month or so since my last blog. In all transparency, I was working on a longer blog that I was updating daily about my decision to sign my contract or not for next school year. But then I ended up signing it and it's truly not an interesting blog. It was just like: "Should I? Nah. Well? Okay. Nah. Okay I will. I signed it. The end." So, now we're here, just waiting until the end of the year to finish and I am on the hook for next year. I could still leave, but breaking a contract not only gives me hives because of the ethic implications, but also there is a $2,500 fee attached to that which is NOT in my summer budget currently. I am tired of teaching. But to be fair, it is April and I am ALWAYS tired of teaching in April. But I will say this April is different. Education is different. It's changed. A part of me knows that I will be called out of teaching soon. I don't see myself retiring as
