Challenge Day 02-
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
Career-wise:
I think the problem is I can't necessarily see myself doing anything in particular. Like those kids who always saw themselves in white coats or cop uniforms or what have you, I wasn't one of those. When I was a kid I saw myself in some abstract romantic form of existence, like a writer.
I don't know what exactly it is I'm looking for. I think it will involve writing in some capacity--the idea of magazine or satirical writing appeals to me. Probably food-magazines or art magazine related. Art critiques.
Or I want to work wit art and with artists--so the idea of curating seems appealing. I like being submerged in that environment.
Teaching? Maybe. It seems like it can be fulfilling. But I probably would want to stay away from public school because I remember how teachers were treated there. Horrible.
I think college-level would be ideal. Actually, totally random but the idea of working as an admissions counselor appeals to me a lot.
Things I know I want: creativity, collaborative 'more-social' environment, something that has a little variety in day-to-day work.
social-life and otherwise:
I think lately I have a tendency to characterize my life in terms of "what the hell am i gonna do [for a career]? But that's not the only thing with which to measure your life with. Actually, I typically tend to do it in terms of my social life --and my friends. So, if we're using that as my criteria, I'd say I've done pretty damn well for myself. I have amazing friends and tend to surround myself with good people. And that's worth something.
So, like anyone. in a perfect world I would like to not. be. alone. Obviously in the romantic sense as well as friend-sense. I don't see myself with a family--at all--but a partner or a serious relationship, maybe. hopefully.
a place of my own. with real furniture, my own paintings decorating the walls, and [a fairly large] bookshelf with the books I always want but never buy.
Oh, and a record player (& banging sound system)
and needless to say, this place of residence damn well better have a decent kitchen :) and an herb garden that I can actual maintain instead of destroy after 3 weeks.

**let's be serious, if I'm not 'involved' with someone, I can almost guarantee that at some point I will be living with the sister, at least for a little while.***
Miscellaneous:
- In ten years I would like to have gone back to Europe, either on extended 'vacation' or living there. Preferably Berlin/Germany and the UK
- Masters and/or PhD in...something TBD
- culinary school--either legitimately or some make-shift fashion where I work with food other than when I'm cooking for myself of slaving over recipe ideas
- have worked on a farm
- and a bakery/vegan-glutard-health freak type of restaurant
- maybe [learn to] bartend
- NOT HAVE KNEE PROBLEMS (a girl can dream)
- be a little closer with my brother. And still hopefully be just as close with my sister.
- find love/ self-acceptance/motivation/ambition
