Sea of opportunities

OK, so now that I am home and substitute teaching in C-town {where word travels fast} I have been asked by several people what I want to do once I graduate. Understandably they figure I am in school for teaching, which then to their surprise I'm not. I then get this confused look on their faces and the question "well then {pause}, why are you substitute teaching? Wouldn't you rather get a job pertaining to your major?" I pause and smile {to make it seem like I know what I'm about to say} and then usually respond by saying "Well my major may be business but I have put a lot of thought into getting my masters in education and using the math background I was given by majoring in Business and teach middle school Math, plus I love working with kids." TA DA! This usually makes them smile and leave me alone. Well done.

The truth is I have no idea what I want to do once I graduate. But I don't really wanna worry about that right now. All I know is I have dreams and aspirations and I wish to accomplish them all. Here are just a few {in no particular order} live in NYC, own a hotel, be a teacher, raise a family, get married, be happy, travel, own a vacation home, etc.

So now the picture, I found it on ffffound.com and immediately loved it. I feel as though sometimes I can relate to it with some aspects of my life. I see the great big world of opportunity out there, but I'm scared, I would rather just kinda hang out in the environment I am most comfortable in. Someday I will be out there in the big open sea with the rest of the fishies, but for now, until i decide where I am going and what I will be doing, I am comfortable with just doing what I know.

The future?

I love this picture.... of course I came across it on ffffound.com. In most circumstances I would totally agree with this, because over thinking everything I do is something I suffer from {yes, over thinking situations makes you suffer}. But right now, or recently, I am more worried about what is going to happen tomorrow.

Of course I know I will be around tomorrow, but I catch myself worrying way to much about the future. Even yesterday I was seriously considering changing majors! I should be graduating in the near future and I was thinking of changing from business to nursing!!! Its not even like I would have many classes that would transfer.... aka I would be in school for probably another two or three years, unless I took part in an accelerated course. AND then there is another part of me that wants to be a teacher, but holly insists I get my bachelors in business at westfield {yuck} and then just get my masters in education.

AND LASTLY there is that huge part of me that wants to live the next year of my life in a Kerouac style and work my butt off for a few months and then travel the US! There is so much I have never seen or experienced, and I am itching to get out there! {again, I blame colby for suggesting On the Road by Jack Kerouac, because the blame has to be put somewhere right?} haha

So for now I leave you with my thoughts being a little lost and confused. Ultimately I am completely unsure about the future and what it will bring!
