if teaching doesn't work out...



i have a few other ideas for what i will do with my future if being a high school english teacher isn't the dream that i am convinced it will be.  always have to have a backup, ya hear?


1. estate saler {sailor?}
saturday, around ten o'clock in the morning, my obsession was discovered.  my grandma, the classy gwood, let sister and i join her in her weekly estate sale hunt, or "estating" as i shall refer to it from now on.  we hit the hot spots and got chummy with the regulars.  gwood told us all of the ins and outs of estating, even told us how she wants her estate sale to be run {save up friends, that one will blow your mind...i guarantee it}.  she kept bargaining with this lady that was in charge of the whole shabang.  running an estate sale...yeah...i'd do it.

2.  movie trailer maker {trailor?}

getting paid to watch movies before everyone else and picking out the best parts to sum up a movie in 2 minutes is my kind of lifestyle.  and you can bet your bottom dollar that my trailers would be a visual splendor like this is but actually tell a little story...i may have given up on my english career but i will always love a good story, i can promise you that.

3.  foley artist.
there is no real sound in movies.  did you know that?  mind blowing.  so who puts that sound in?  foley.  so was it really brad pitt's shoes making that walking sound on the floor of the mgm grand casino in ocean's 11?  nope...foley.  i can make fake sounds for movies.  sure.

4.  old folks home party planner.
so my other grandma {not the estating grandma} lives in the classiest of retirement centers.  there is a bird cage and a breakfast buffet, a whiteboard of activities and group trips to harmons.  so cute.  i always look at the party whiteboard to see what the oldies are up to.  social time with lowell sounds fun.  early morning power yoga is something that i would attend even now i think.  and the movie nights...the best.  if i could devote myself to all day everyday teenage angst then i can handle partying with the oldies.  love them.

5.  karmin.
i would give anything to be her.  a pinup looking white rapper...yeah i wish.

don't mess with me high school kids...i got a back up.
lehgo.

I think your aptitudes lean most towards a Karmin-like career, morphing into a hip-hop estater in retirement who, in her spare time, teaches power yogo to her fellow septugenarians at the retirement center and enjoys the senior discount at the movies every Thursday afternoon with her retired sister....but that's just if the teaching thing doesn't work out.
