Because I'm Bored

I'm sitting in the library (not getting much work done as usual) looking out a window. What do I see? It's snowing. A lot. It's April 13. Why is it snowing? A lot.

Oh yeah, I go to school at SUNY Cortland, located in lovely upstate New York. Days like today force me to really look forward to my impending move down south. I'll be in Tampa in t-minus 6 weeks... ish.

When I think about the fact that I'm moving, I feel excited, and a little bit scared. I'm not scared of excessive sunburn or alligators, or anything literal really. Well, I guess I am kind of afraid of alligators. But mostly I'm afraid I'll fail miserably. I guess I probably won't, and even if I do, it'll be nice and warm. I could stay here and fail miserably, and it'd probably be really cold and miserable.

The whole "getting a real job" idea is daunting. If you have any suggestions for what I should be, leave a comment. I'm pretty much open to anything, legal or illegal. I'm assuming that I'll have a bachelors degree in English, and I'm pretty sure my associates degree is in journalism. I suppose this means that I should be a writer, but that sounds like a much less interesting career than say, oh i don't know, contract killer.

On that note, if anyone wants to teach me how to shoot a gun really well or has general knowledge of mercenary tactics and is willing to share that knowledge, leave a message with contact info.

Hmmm... writer, teacher, contract killer. It seems the world is my oyster.

For old times sake: peace out to my niggas pookie-bear and ray-ray.

Contract killer could be very interesting (and well paying), but it has a pretty steep learning curve. Not a very forgiving career. Of course, there's very lucrative contracts to be had for corporate work in that field.

I'm thinking you should start your own business teaching English to newly arrived immigrants in FL. Many of them DO have money in their pockets, and are willing to pay well to learn the language from a "local." You could also consider moving to Japan. The Japanese pay mucho dinero to learn English from Americans.

Just sayin'...
