O! life... you are too full of possibilites.
(dress: modcloth; hat: uo; shoes: payless; necklace: diy)
I should just do a blog poll to determine what my next step in life should be. How does anyone ever decide what path to take?
Option A: TEFL certification - live&teach abroad - MA in Education - HS English teacher
Option B: MA in Creative Writing (Scotland? England?) - wing it ("it" being life)
Option C: Get a second job - work like a dog and save money - travel around the world
Option D: Start making films - be poor in the pocket but rich in creative fulfillment (hopefully)
Option E: Apply for a Fulbright that somehow combines my love of travel, writing, and cultural anthropology (wheels are turning...)
... or I could just keep on keepin' on, but my Sanity doesn't dig that idea.
In the meantime, I'll be doing polka dots this week. And maybe next week, too, since I got a late start. Hope you're all having fabulous Hump Days out there in the blogosphere!
Yesss polka dot week!! This dress is wonderful, and looks great with your hat. And all of those options sound like amazing ideas!

I'm a Fulbrighter and the exchange experience as well as the stamp of "Fulbright" has opened so many doors for me...
ReplyDeletei'm with you on the whole "figuring out the right path in life" thing. it's not fun. you dress is adorable, though! i love b&w polka dots + yellow flowers!
ReplyDeleteOption E sounds pretty cool. If only finding the right path was easy! I like the yellow flowers, so sweet the the navy polka dots.
ReplyDeleteI like your accessories and also the dress
ReplyDeleteLove polka dot week! This dress is adorable. I'm hitting one of those 'what next' stages as well. I can't stay here, but I can't go home.
ReplyDeleteA,B and E sound like great ways for some world exploring :) Hope it all becomes clear to you soon - if not there is always dice (and if they fall on an option you don't like as much you dont have to stick with the dice decision anyway ;) )
ReplyDeleteSuch a cool necklace btw!
Polka dot week! Hooray! Polka dots are my favorite. All those options sound fun to me!
ReplyDeleteInterestingly, my current options list looks very similar to yours!
ReplyDeleteIt's like we got all hyped up to do great things; low and behold, well, bingo. Here we are.
I mean. I work at a Goodwill. Ha.

What a cute dress! You look lovely!

I'm going to steer clear of all advice since I'm currently trying to whip of a list of my own five insane options. ; D Happy choosings though.
ReplyDeleteIf you go somewhere, you can always make a film about that, thus killing two birds with one stone! ; )
Lovely outfit! I'm feeling much the same with regards to trying to find a direction in life, but i'm only 18...i'm currently awaiting my A level results that dictate whether or not my chosen universities accept me, and i'm not optimisitic. Tuition fees increase significantly next year here in the UK, which puts a spanner in resitting and reapplying. That wouldn't stop me if i were truly passionate about what i'm studying but right now i'm still trying to figure out what i'm passionate about (i'm only 18 for god's sake!). So i empathize greatly with your situation, good luck with your decision! Btw i share your love of creative writing, it's the only thing i've ever really had a talent for (not to blow my own horn or anything...this is what my teachers have told me) and that i've loved, however i'm more in favour experience of the world and life being the fuel of your writing as opposed to hours spent in a confined space studying technique, hence why i have never really considered studying creative writing (maybe i'm a fool). If your yearning to travel is as strong as it seems to be then i'd say go for it, take a (cheesy) 'leap of faith'! Read The Alchemist and listen to your heart! Haha...and i'm not usually one for quotes but i've come across a couple of really good ones recently:

Sorry this comment's so long! Got alot on my mind :S haha...lots of love, Lucy :) x
