We watched The Proposal, which I love.

I also have a confession to make about this movie. Don't laugh. This will make me sound very, very shallow.
But when I first watched this movie over the summer, I had just decided that there was no way on this earth I could possibly be an accountant, and I needed a major switch. I'd picked English, since I'm good at it, but I was having a little crisis since obviously English is not quite as marketable as accounting straight out of undergrad.
Then I saw this movie. And Sandra Bullock played a character who, aside from being gorgeous - and having the EXACT hair I so desperately need in my life - had an AMAZING EDITING CAREER!!

And I thought, "I could DO that!" Okay, so not EVERY English major ends up being executive editor-in-chief or whatever and living at Central Park West.
But I did realize I wouldn't be broke and homeless. After all, Margaret wore Christian Louboutin shoes literally the entire movie.

And that kind of thing gives a girl hope.

of course you can have a great career. Of course Nana has always thought of you being an author.I am sure you will always wear the right shoes! I am happy you have a major you are enjoying. Love you Nana

I try very hard to post something new every day, but I also want to try to keep things interesting. I love checking in to see all your comments - it's a great encouragement to write more!! Keep in mind though - I usually end up posting late at night, before I go to bed, so we might be just missing each other! <3
ReplyDeleteI love that movie too. I see lots of movies and want to have the wonderful, successful careers they have. I'm in my late 20's with an education degree. I even taught for a while before staying home with my kids. But I'll tell you the truth, I still don't know what I want to do when I grow up. I'm glad you know what you want.
