Nov. 1st, 2006 07:54 pmOK, in an attempt to think things through better, and just plain think about things more I am going to try to write more on here. Also in the hopes that I will become a better writer...or at least become better at writing.
My problem right now is, as I am typing this, my mind is thinking of a bunch of stuff I want to write, but I can't type nearly that fast and it mostly gets lost!
One idea I had was this: since I am obviously really into Battlestar Galactica, and I like thinking about it/analyzing it, etc. I could (should.....will) write an analysis, or explain my comments and reactions to the new episodes of Battlestar Galactica from now on. I have to make sure that when I do this, I haven't read any of the forums or reviews of it, because they always end up influencing my thoughts of things. The thing is, with that show, there are so many sides to everything that happens, and it makes you see everyone's viewpoints, so its hard to have just one opinion on any scene. So there we go. I think this is a good idea, and I really hope its one I follow through on. I am hoping it will help me want to write, because it will be writing about something I really enjoy and have opinions on.
Another thing I want to do is write a general idea of the things I want to (rather, NEED TO) accomplish soon. Some of them I should have already done, and some of them I desperately need to do. Namely, and most importantly, Finding A Real Job. I have been looking for an astronomy-related job. I haven't found any I can even apply for. (If I was a post-doc, then I would have lots of choices!! But grad school, I am not ready for. I probably should have gone right after college!) So perhaps I should look for a different sort of job. Problem is, what sort of job do I want? The answer is--I don't know! So I think then, what am I interseted in, what do I enjoy, what do I care about? Hmm, lets see. I like feminism, and lots of things that are periphary to that. Although I don't know what sort of job I could get in relation to that, or where even to look. I like (scifi) television, but I can't get a job in that. I like music, but I'm not very good at playing guitar anymore. I would like to do something to help poor people, or animals, but those aren't really career, relocation worthy jobs usually. More like volunteer, lower paying jobs. I would love to volunteer doing something worthwhile. Hopefully when we move and we are settled, I can attempt that too. *sigh* I don't know what else I'm interested in. Maybe nothing.
I really should go look for a job now. Problem is, I just don't know how or where to look.
Part of me thinks I should look in specific areas. Because I do sort of have an idea of the type of area I want to live in, and places I don't want to live in. I don't know if that is a good idea of how to narrow my search or not. But....I might as well try it now, because it sounds easiest right now.
I am glad I wrote this, and am going to make an attempt to write more. Quite a few little, and big things have really been getting to me lately. Perhaps writing will help me deal with them better....
Who knows.
