academia...
Western Kentucky University. Majoring in Literature and History. I've been a senior for a year, and it will probably take about 2 more years to finish at this point. No rush to finish really, and I live in downtown Nashville now, so it's an hour away. I only need 16 more hours from WKU, about 28 overall, so I'll be doing community college for a semester or 2 to save money and stay away from Bowling Green, which is a cultural black hole.
But I dunno. I'm enjoying living in poverty, and I never really felt fulfilled by the college life, so I'm doing it a bit differently. We'll see what happens.

Talk less, say more.
Love each other dearly always. There is scarcely anything else in the world but that: to love one another.
In the absolute, to be hideous is to hate

academia...
graduated with an associates degree in computer art and design. found out towards the end that i couldn't see myself sitting in front of a computer as my job, but figured i'd finish anyways. had some extra sociology, psychology and philosophy classes that i took just for fun and wasn't sick of the college scene yet, so i decided to just stay an extra semester and get a second associates degree in social sciences. it was interesting but i had no plans on getting a job in any of those fields. was more of just a way to better educate myself. during this time is when i started blowing glass. i had thought of transferring across the street to alfred university so i could get a degree in glass, but was much too expensive. so i took a job as an assistant teacher at a daycare to build some income to support my, at the time, hobby of glassblowing. after a year of working with kids i decided to just go for it, and i'm now a full-time glassblower. it's not very well paying at the moment, but i see the potential to make a comfortable living. so i bust my ass about 6-10 hours a day, 7 days a week doing what i love. i don't regret getting my degrees because it was a good experience and it's always something i can fall back on.
