The Furtherance of Education

Tomorrow, Artie starts the class he signed up for at the local community college, the same one where San is a student. I start the one class I'm taking the day after tomorrow. They both inspired me to further my education, though, unlike them, I have no idea what I want to do.

San wants to be a social worker.

Artie wants to work in computer graphic design or something. One day, he says, he'll be helping out with the CGI for various movies, which is perfect because it combines his love of computer related…stuff and directing. Maybe he'll work for Pixar one day! Or George Lucas, though I doubt he'll be making any more Star Wars movies.

And me? No idea.

Artie assured me that I'll figure out in time but I'm not sure. I was never one who dreamed of future career choices or had lofty aspirations, or any aspirations related to career choices at all, really.

When I was in first grade and the teacher went around asking us what we wanted to be when we grew up, I said a grown up. I guess that hasn't really changed because if I ask myself a question similar to that now, the answer would be, "Mrs. Abrams," which is going to happen in a matter of time. Besides that, I really don't know.

Still, it didn't seem a bad idea to enroll in at least one class. Since I've been working at the real estate office, I decided to take a business class. Artie, being all concerned over me going to the campus at night, since it's a night class, signed up for a class at the same time, so we'll be going over together every Tuesday evening.

In other news, Rachel hasn't shown up to the house in the past couple of days. I'm pretty sure she's busy with the applications I gave her the other day. Thank God! I think I was going to insane if she lingered around for another whole day. Matt, on the other hand, seemed disappointed. The two of them seem to be getting along pretty well, in a they-both-understand-baker-lingo-and-not-in-any-romantic-sense kind of way.

Without her presence, the house has seemed much, much quieter.

It's been really nice.

And...I smell cheeseburgers, which means Mike's back with dinner. I'm so hungry! And there's this cheeseburger place around the corner that has the best cheeseburgers in the world...and it's cheap! Going to eat now...yum.
