So after a long time of "What the frick can I do with this English major?" or in the words of Princeton from Avenue Q "plenty of knowledge has earned me this useless degree"...that's frightening to think about...I have decided to go into publishing. I'm kinda embarrassed that it took me this long to figure this out because now it makes perfect sense. I love books (always have. My mom incidentally has some stories about me at 2 years old, before I could read, carrying a book around our house), I wouldn't have to work with a ton of people but I still would be around some people and I could help some author get published! The entry salery (or any chance of getting a salery without a couple years of internships) is kinda lousy but I think I would be really happy doing this. Part of this is from my January class where we have been studying books for the whole month and also me actually thinking about the future (which I usually try to avoid). I will try everything I can to get some form of internship this summer to get some experiance.
I know this wasn't quite me observing the world but I got so excited about what can be possible that I had to write it down somewhere. Well, now I am off to the library to creep (I mean "observe") people in the library. Let the fun begin!

Me like this idea. :) Maybe I should join that plan...
