I just had an inspired idea...
I've always wanted to be a writer. I've always wanted to travel. I've always been interested in languages. I'm really enjoying teaching and think that I have a unique manner of teaching.
So what if I became an English textbook writer? I could do my Master's dissertation on ESL textbooks and I would begin to write my own, based off of my teaching experience thus far... And I could continue writing it and refining it for the next few years while I teach and travel.
But my book would be far different than the books being used today. I'm not altogether quite sure how yet... But if would be different. More fun, more colorful, more imaginative. More like a game.
I just keep thinking about the Ani lyrics: "All of this was just someone's idea - it could just as well have been mine." I know this is going to turn out to be something significant in what I do... I just don't quite know how yet. :)
In other news, the girls were completely hilarious and adorable tonight. I love hanging out in the kitchen with them and talking and talking and giggling. ^_^ We sat there for hours just doing what we do. Being with them and forgetting everything else for those few hours makes me so happy. It's totally what friendship is meant to be. :) Sometimes after one of our little bonding moments, I think about the Suicide Girl phrase, "One day you'll be nostalgic for now." and can feel how very true it is in that moment. One day - in just a few months - I'll be living with some other people and I'll long for those two girls and Katie with her freckles and giggly face when she is dropping her fruits and veggies all over the kitchen floor after masterfully peeling them, and Abby with our late night giggles and conversations and Sunday night roomie dates and occasionally scandalous weekend outings... They both just make me feel like I'm really at home here. <3
XOXO
