Questions

Yesterday was a pretty great day. Although the procrastination bug bit me pretty hard last week, I really feel like I have some things figured out and recharged my batteries. Here are some pics I took at the Farmer's Market yesterday. E. and I woke up early (11 ish) and went to brunch at Muse. Then we came home and groaned for little bit before setting off to the market. They had a great pumpkin house, and some incredibly amazing plants that reacted when you touched them. It was sweet. I bought some clay monks because I'm weird, but not as weird as the guy who sold them to me. He told me that I needed to feed them "monk"fish, and that I should keep them away from keys or there would be "monk" key business. Ha ha. I love puns as much as the next guy and I will admit I was delighted with this 65 year old guy in camouflage suspenders feeding me bad puns. I still haven't done any homework and feel guilty but happy about that. Emily thinks that I should try to just get my history degree and get out, and I really think I'm considering it. It's really scary to think about, but she thinks that I should maybe get out with a bachelors, and go to grad school for librarian stuff. I know that's a good idea because even if I still want to help kids the school librarians (according to statistics I found) make almost twice as much as a teacher. I know that it's not all about the money, but sometimes I get kind of tired of being so poor and constantly having FRUGALITY as my watchword. Don't get me wrong, I know that I lead a very safe and privileged life, I'm certainly not going hungry, and there are many people WAY worse off than me. But sometimes I want more. Maybe I'm not so great a person for feeling that way, and maybe I'll change my mind later, but right now I feel happy but hungry (not literally, figuratively).
