I'd also like teaching woman's studies and multicultural Literature. I can see writing a book, perhaps an autobiography but something definitely nonfiction. I can see me writing for a newspaper.

Astrological Sign?: Pisces - the fish. The Water sign. Some qualities of a Piscean are intuitive, emotionally receptive, imaginative, enthusiastic; unworldly, deep need to remain connected to spiritual life, though often not attached to traditional forms of worship. Pisces is a comforting sign, willing to make self-sacrifices, with kind generosity; adaptable, flexible, and creative; impressionable, indiscriminative, tolerant, weak willed and easily led. Vague and psychic. Symbolic of the piscean are two fish moving in opposite directions set against each other, like two sides of an argument; rarely failing to see a question from all sides; full of inner turmoil. A true dreamer who is more concerned with intellectual concepts than with the possible material gains governing any given situation. Most attracted to strong characters, who can act as a source of inspiration and guidance. (This all fits me well)
