In...Thank you, Kiersten - that means so much to me. In college I thought I would become an American Lit professor and thought about getting my PhD in Comparative Literature. I loved, loved, loved my classes and learned so much that I still use today, even though I'm in a different field. I took the approach that I would take the classes I loved and have faith that the rest would work itself out. I think it more or less did. =) And I agree with you, enjoy your time and your friends in college - they are still some of my favorite years and closest friends!EmilyKaatherinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-724840394047008115.post-30737835123151637162011-07-11T00:11:02.026-04:002011-07-11T00:11:02.026-04:00Emily, your writing is always beautiful.

In a way, you encourage me to write, because I want to believe that my writing can be that good. <br />I know what you mean about confusing life and work. Of course, I'm still only going into my second year of college so I don't have a career yet. But I've always had trouble figuring out what I actually WANT to do - deciphering the difference between what I love and will be happy doing, and what I think I'm supposed to want to do because it's more "practical". <br />And I have trouble remembering to stop worrying about things like this, and grades, and what other people think, and so on, and to take the time to enjoy myself and my life and my friends. <br />I think it's absolutely wonderful that you love your job - it's my goal in life to find the thing that I love doing and will be happy being involved in for the rest of my life. <br />Wonderful post - thank you for writing it!<br /><3 KierstenKiersten McMonaglenoreply@blogger.com
