A Nerd Like Me

To Clarify…

Thanks for all of the kind words, in the form of comments, facebook messages, emails, and texts.  I appreciate every one of you (even if you are a blog-lurker who chooses not to comment on here, but send me a super secret fb message instead…I still like you).

But I feel the need to clarify something.  Clear the blog air, if you will.

Apparently, my little rant made it sound like I don’t know what I want to do with my life, career-wise.  That is simply not true.  The problem is that I want to do too many things.  So many things that my mind is always switching gears, leading me from one idea to the next.  I blame it on the ADD…and the ungodly amount of nicotine lozenges I still consume multiple times a day.  (Don’t judge me!  At least I’m not smoking.)

This constant mind changing is slowly driving The Hubs insane.  I don’t blame him when he asks, “Can you just do one thing for two years?!?!  That’s all I’m asking.  Two.  Years.”

But that’s difficult for me because, like I said, I want to do so many things and fit it all into my life RIGHT FREAKIN’ NOW!

So I’ve decided to hold off on the photography career, for just a moment, and truly exhaust all of my options for a biology career.  I’m looking into everything from environmental policy internships in D.C. to research jobs in Hawaii and the Florida Keys to husbandry jobs at aquariums.  I’m determined to try my hardest to find a job that will make my college education worthwhile.  If that becomes impossible, then I will move onto photography and art and something else creative.

Did I also mention I’m writing a book?  See?  I just can’t make my brain stop.

Also, will somebody please help me find some used tan-colored flat sandals (particularly the ones in the picture below, care of Kendi Everyday).  I’m thisclose to breaking my New Year’s Resolution for a new pair of sandals, since mine are all gross and broke down. But maybe it is a blessing in disguise that the ones I’m coveting aren’t even available anymore.  HELP!

UPDATE:  I take that back.  These sandals ARE available, they were just hiding out as a different color on the website.  And they are ON SALE for $10. I wear 7.5 and I adore the cognac color.  Gifts, in the form of sandals, always accepted.
