Sushi and my future

spacebugSlept in too late today. Which is okay, as I stayed up too late last night. Went and had sushi with a bunch of folks, and it was nice, though Koyi loses veg points for having miso made with fish broth. (Thank you for buying me sushi, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
autodidactic. Thanks for the ride, rgeorge. It was nice to see you guys again.) Afterwards I made chocolate cookies that actually tasted good to make up for the asstastic ones I attempted last week. Then s4 and I played some late-night Catan with the couple with the same names. It was a close game and I enjoyed my short-lived lead until my metropolis and my longest road were snatched away. D'oh.
This afternoon, I'm musing over what I want to be when I grow up, or, at least, what would I like to do instead of the bead store. And I am thinking more and more of joining Americorps, like my brother before me. It wouldn't be the most perfect thing, but it would be something that is more than a stupid underpaying job. It would be experience, it would probably do a good job of evaluating whether or not I have the balls or desire necessary to be a teacher, and it would give me a stipend, health insurance, and loan deferment for a year, and a good chunk of change to put toward my college bills afterwards. There are a few informational meetings in town the next couple weeks, and I think I will make it to one.
On the negative side, Americorps might wear me out for working on music much, and tends towards social-work more than it tends towards creative stuff. Creative stuff is much more my bag. But, we'll see. A year isn't too long, really, and if it helps me figure myself out even by knowing what I don't want to do with myself, I guess it wouldn't be time wasted. I've already spent well over that long at the Bead, and I already knew I didn't want to spend my life there. Anyway.
Tonight, my wacky uncle is in town from Dallas, and my aunt is making dinner. I think I will hang out with my family tonight. They're usually quite a lot of fun, and I may get to sit in a hot tub to boot.
