random thoughts on my future


Things I want to do after I graduate:
Volunteer at a Women's Choice Resource Center regularly
Have a garden
Make a quilt
Get involved in a church's children's or youth ministry
(possibly GA or Acteens)


Have a job that I enjoy going to with people I like
(I've never had both; I've either worked alone and not really had coworkers; liked the job but didn't get along at all with my coworkers, or liked my coworkers but not the job. I'd like to experience both!)
Be outside regularly
Do art regularly


Have people over for dinner often - with good friends or as ministry
Become proficient in ASL and translate for a while to see how I like it
Teach - even if its just ESL - consistently
Cook good food that I and others like


write and publish something.
(I'd really like at some point to write a biography of Lottie Moon, and take some research trips to China MAYBE, but we'll see)
Live in my own apartment/house
Yes I want to get married after I graduate.
(however, every one around me doesn't seem to understand that that will only occur on three people's timeline: God's, the guy, and me. Not anyone elses! I never ever thought I'd get this kind of pressure every time I turned around to do it on someone else's timeline, and if I didn't then Bible verses would start flung at me and my boyfriend's character questioned. Seriously? Ya'll back off!!)

I really really really don't want to go into a Master's program right away. Or maybe even ever. I'm not sure.
I really enjoy going to the deaf church, but I don't know if I would want to do that long-term. I'm just conversing, not translating at this point... so I don't know if I'd like being someone's ears. Or I might love it. I won't know until I try, which means I have to keep putting effort into it and find out.
I would want to do it one-on-one tho, not for the communication companies etc.

I really have got to start writing this research paper.
If I'm rambling and getting thoughts out of my head, then great! Words flow! Imagining about talking and walking trees and fairies, sure. Putting down correct theology and doctrine about Angels? Pphshtttt. Ha. Writer's block!
Stupid Senioritis.
(yes this blog post was simply random pictures I've taken this spring, along with random thoughts I was thinking while NOT writing my research paper. Now that they are all effectively outside my head, I can get back to work. Thank you for being the recipient of my random external processing ;-D)
