When I finally decided what I wanted to be when I grow up (I’m 37) I realized I want to be an English professor. I have to start somewhere, so I am reading as many of the the great books I can fit in and have been taking classes in preparation for application to a MA English program.
I have been in love with the idea for as long as I can remember. I recently had the opportunity to spend an entire week there (thanks mom) and my fantasies about this fabulous city were validated and exceeded. Now I can think of little else. I have to live there, if only for a little while. I have two kids who are soon to go off to college and a husband, so making this dream a reality will be difficult, but not impossible. I know some French, but have added it to my classes this semester (I’m a life-long student). Wish me luck!
