So, with the threat of losing my job and my students becoming more difficult to teach each day, i have really considered becoming a journalist and writing about science. I never thought I was a good writer, so its funny that I now aspire to become one. I don't know if I want to write only about science, since I love so many things, but it will be one of my favorite topics and one that I hope I can turn into a career. Ive also looked into classes at the local community college and found a journalism program. When I think about it, writing is not all that different than teaching. Its information gathered, researched and put out in a more pleasing (easy?) way. My job requires this of me everyday, sometimes I fail miserably, but sometimes its just perfect.

I'm bummed that I didn't look into this earlier, while still in college. I keep finding internships I am unable to apply for and classes I overlooked. I'm only 27, yet it feels like I am stuck, that my only option is to not get fired. So I am left to do all the research and practice on my own and hopefully get into the program at the community college. This could be good for me, but it will require lots of will power and focus, which by 3 0'clock are no longer words recognized by my brain. This is going to be a slow endeavor. Wish me luck.
