i dreamed a dream

via

You know how I am going to be an Elementary School teacher and change the world? 

Yeah, isn't that great? 

I'm excited for that to happen, and I know it will someday.

However... sometimes I have other dreams too.

These are the dreams I have labeled "unrealistic" in my mind, but I really long for them to come true secretly.

I'm going to let you in on my secret dreams.

But you have to promise not to judge me.

1. A Personal Stylist. I have wanted to be this since I was 13 years old watching What Not To Wear. I suddenly realized that wearing the right clothes is ESSENTIAL to your future, and what you wear sends a message to those around you. If you need a make over, please come my way. I would be thrilled beyond belief to help you choose flattering clothes to wear. Dreeeaaaaaammmm come true. 

2. A Member of the Saturday Night Live Cast. I know you are probably chuckling at this one. As if I think I'm SO FUNNY I could be a member of SNL. I'm sorry. It's a dream of mine to be Kristen Wiig.

3. A Personal Assistant to an Editor of a Fashion Magazine. Yep.  Just like Anne Hathaway in Devil Wears Prada. Why not? Yeah, that lady was a huge jerk. But it was a cool job anyway, I mean look at all the cool things you get to experience! I also get a strange thrill out of running errands. Which I think would be essential for such a job.

4. Writer of an Award Winning Movie Script. I have this secret wish that I could write something SO BRILLIANT I will go down in history as someone who had the best idea for a movie. It would be a classic like Gone With The Wind. It would be mind blowing like Inception. It would be heart felt like P.S. I Love You. And I could watch it come to life on the big screen. And accept an Oscar.

Anyway, these are just some of my dreams. But since I'm sure I'll be made fun of for exposing them, I'm going to stop right there... Maybe someday. 

For now, I'll stick with being a teacher and changing the world.

Because... I guess that's pretty awesome too.

p.s. I'm coming home! I'm coming home! Tell the world that I'm coming home! tomorrow! tomorrow! there's always! tomorrow! it's only! a day! away! (that's what we call a fancy shmancy mash up)
