I think I've always liked my name, at least from what I can remember. And I liked it even more when I found out I was indeed named after the song "Amie" by Pure Prairie League.
Because my best friend is obsessed with things like weddings and baby names, I too have thought about each on more than one occasion. Baby names especially. But it's so incredibly hard to find the perfect name. For me, the perfect baby name would be one that isn't incredibly popular, but it would be popular enough to have personalized pencils and rulers. Because, let's face it...when you're in third grade, there's nothing cooler than personalized school supplies. And just when you find a name you think you might like, you realize you don't like a nickname that could come from that name. Oh, well. Shouldn't have to be thinking about that too seriously for at least a few more years.
What I do have to think about now is growing up, and the idea absolutely terrifies me. In a little more than a year, I will have graduated college and will need to be looking for a REAL job. With benefits. And it's constantly...first of all, I have no idea what I really want to do, and second, if I do figure out what I want to do, what if I can't get a job doing what I want to do? It's all a big mess of not-knowingness, and I'm pretty sure that's the way it always has been. But it will come and go just like everything else, and hopefully I'll make it out alive.
Today's lesson focused on names, and I tried to use it to get used to pronunciations of words. I'm still a little off at times, so that needs work.
And then there's this whole concept that in Lithuanian, when you greet someone or want to get their attention, the ending of their name changes. Yeesh.
For now, it's bedtime with Lola Bell kitty cat...and it looks like she's already beat me to it!
Labanakt!
