Future (doom music here)

After much dispute, these are my current life/career goals for the possible future. Note, these have the possibility of changing at my own personal whims.

Option 1: High School teaching. 
*Need teaching certificate/masters degree.
*Don't exactly like being in front of a group of people
*I would need to do this in more than a few years time because sometimes people think I'm either still a High School student OR just out of. I'd like to avoid that.

While you might be wondering why oh WHY I might WANT to do this, I have these moments where I will read something or come across something that I find fantastic and my brain automatically goes into the process of; how would I teach this. How could I get everyone involved to a point of understanding and (dare i dream) to appreciate it?
And! I think English teachers have a real bad rap sheet. I've had some pretty outstanding English teachers in my time which disputes the stereotypical sucky ones. (i've had some dreadful ones too, but that's neither here nor there)

Option 2: Library School (still) 
I'm not sure if I mentioned this here.. there.. anywhere.. but I got denied from UW. At this juncture I am trying to figure out if this is just a higher power saying, 'hey, amanda.. choose something else..' or if I should just apply some more and to other schools. My problem is that one way or another I would be forking out $40,000+ for this, and I want to know I'm doing it for the right reasons... and not because this is what happens next.

Option 3: Editing
There is a certificate program that I ran across. 9 months, 3 courses. It's not a degree, it's a certificate. Mostly I'd like it to pad my resumé for the possibility of editing. The writers conference that I volunteered at heightened this interest, especially since the girl that stayed at my house is my age and the manuscripts she accepts are what she likes to read. Umm, that's kind of awesome. And for some reason, my little kitty brain thinks I could do it. Especially with the extra training. Although, I can think off the top of my head of 2 people that I was going to look over their stories. (you know who you are) And I have started, but not done much with it. Sorry for that.

Option 4: Travel
Work, save money, blow it on awesome trips... to return and save up again. (rinse and repeat)
Main places: Italy, Scotland (i did not get enough time there), New Zealand.... And I really want to go up the east coast in the fall. I have friends/family from Washington DC and on up to Maine. It would be absolutely lovely. (don't you just love new york in the fall? it makes me want to buy school supplies..)

I need to go to bed earlier. 0430 really kicks my trash every-morning...
