Here it is: my first blog post. I recently sat down with myself and asked myself a series of questions…5 to be exact. Let’s consider this part of a quest to self-discovery…or a requirement for my technology in communications class. :p
Jess: What do you plan to do after you graduate?
Jess: Well, this is just about my favorite question to answer right now. The answer is certainly up for debate. To be perfectly honest, I have no idea. I would love to eventually end up in an Asian country teaching English or a speech class or something to that effect. As for an actual post-graduation plan, I got nothin. I am willing to go anywhere and do anything, and I know that my Heavenly Daddy has some awesome plans for my life. I just wish He’d let me in on it.
Jess: What are your favorite things to do?
Jess: I really enjoy experiencing new things. I like being around people who have customs, traditions, accents, and stories that are different from my own. Therefore, I’m game for anything that forces me outside of my comfort zone. I have also recently acquired a passion for cooking.
Jess: Ah, so you like to cook. What is your favorite meal to make?
Jess: Right now, it’s Moroccan lamb. You chop up lamb into bite size pieces, coat with seven different spices, and sautee with onions, garlic, dates, and golden raisins. Then, you serve it over couscous with pine nuts. Yum.
Jess: I see that you like experiencing new things and you like food from other countries. Have you ever been to another country?
Jess: Actually, yes I have. Last summer, I taught English for five weeks in China. The summer before last, I was in Taiwan teaching English for one month. I loved every minute of both trips, and I miss my kids very much. I still talk to some of them online every once in a while.
Jess: Here is a somewhat random question because I have run out of things to ask you. What are your greatest fears?
Jess: I am terribly afraid of E.T. I don’t know what it is, I just can not handle him. It is my goal to watch that movie all the way through without covering my eyes. I will do it…eventually. Also, I live in constant fear that I will get lice. I don’t know why. I have had more nightmares about lice than about anything else.
