The imminent end of grad school means I've got thoughts of future plans swirling around my head. Now I'm not sure whether or not (or at least how much) I believe in signs and messages and The Alchemist and all that, but if I did, it's pretty clear I'm meant to forget any real career dreams and follow my true path... as a nanny. Here's what the universe has revealed to me lately:
1. In an effort to procrastinate writing my final papers, I was perusing the video offerings on various television networks' websites. When I found that ABC was now offering Supernanny, my heart was filled with joy.
2. While hanging out with Emma yesterday, we got to talking about what makes a good babysitter (she's not so crazy about her new one). She, insightful and hilarious as always, noted, "a good babysitter sits next to me while I do my homework and offers to help." Sound familiar?
3. A group of us went ice skating in Central Park to celebrate Kashmira's birthday today. Technically, they ice skated, and I guarded the bags and shoes while sipping hot chocolate. This was totally my own choice, as I detest ice skating, but do actually enjoy watching and waving to my friends as they zip by. Something about my behavior prompted a fancy Manhattan lady to approach me and inquire, "Excuse me, are you an au pair?"
