RT #8: Things I could do instead of going to law school

1. State Department or CIA. Wow them with my awesome Spanish skills and promise to learn Arabic for them too. Also promise them that I can become a lawyer if and only if they pay for my education.

2. Flee to New York City and work at an unpaid internship for a publishing company while commuting from New Jersey and working nights at a strip club, er, restaurant.

3. Open a chewing gum museum in Singapore.



Notes on this Note
- I had to start numbering my "random thoughts" in my iPhone (they are now dated as well). Every time I edit them the phone changes the date of the note. Annoying! Thus, another method of cataloging them was necessary.

- I still want to go to law school. However, the chewing gum museum sounds mighty appealing. It would be a special place in Singapore for all those dissident gum-chewers whose oral fixations are simply unsanctioned. Also, I think the bank would really love this idea, maybe even more than the idea of me going to law school, as it would most likely cost less.

My comments are in reverse order as follows:

3. Be sure that your Chewing Gum Museum in Singapore features gum made ONLY with cane sugar. (Get it?) Did I ever tell you that "I love to Singa(pore) about the moona and Juna and the Springa..." (Ask a Looney Tunes® fan what that 75+ year old cultural reference means, or better yet, go to YouTube® and enter the words, "I love to Singa cartoon" in the search engine.)

2. Lincoln freed the slaves. As a general rule don't work for free for anybody. Get a paid internship. In Cahleeforniah, they get around that little pay for work obstacle by offering class credit in exchange for gopher duties. If you do that, be sure to have survival money. Not everybody can be like the woman in the 1960s show That Girl (A SusieVision® staple, ask your Mom about that TV show). I don't mind the strip club job, (yes I do), but New Jersey? Really?

1. If you go to work for the CIA you might get a bad guy boss like the one the TV character Nikita has. Then you'd become a fugitive rogue agent. But at least you might get to work with James Bond to bring down SPECTRE. The State Department? Working for Hillary Klintoon? Ecch.
