About a year and a half ago I was in Vegas with Karyn. While we were walking on the strip back to our hotel room this lady walked up to me and said, "I'm getting a strong vibe from you." While standing there she told me a few things about my life that a stranger would have no idea about. Her name was Samantha, and she was a psychic in the mall attached to our hotel. I have never believed in psychics and thought she was a total quack at first until she started talking about me. We decided to sit down with her outside and get a quick reading. A lot of the things she was saying was dead on about our lives at the moment. The other things she was saying seemed so outlandish. She pinpointed every little detail about my relationship with a guy at the time and what was going to happen, she knew little things about school and work. Then there were the weird things. I'm supposed to be getting married 3-4 years from that time, I will be proposed to twice, but only married once, and my next job will have something to do with children. At that time I really did not care for children so it seemed so bizarre. Karyn's reading was dead on too, with strange things randomly in there. Occasionally when I'm talking to Karyn, Samantha will pop into our conversations. Now, I usually forget about psychic Samantha until Karyn brings it up but lately all of the weird things that she said are coming true. I'm a little freaked out.

A week or so ago I was doing some thinking about my life and what exactly I want to do with it. I have this degree that I will receive at the end of the year that I can't do anything with unless I go to grad school. Art History and Women's and Gender Studies is awesome but not a money maker. My mom has always been telling me to teach and I've always said no. Up until last semester when I taught that relationships class to kids on the west side I was terrified of kids. I loved teaching that class, which brought me to my new career choice - elementary art teacher. It's perfect, I can use my degree and make some money. I was talking to Karyn about this last night and she said, "psychic Samantha said your next job would be with kids!" Now I can't get this crazy bitch out of my head. What else did she say was going to happen? So far all the stuff she said to Karyn is happening. This is why I hate psychics.


So yeah, elementary art teacher. I've been looking at what I have to do and I think it's just an extra year of school to get my teaching certificate. I could sub until I can find a school in the city that's not on the south or west side. Maybe I'll move. We'll see.
