help carrie make decisions about her life

is it selfish to be posting this on inauguration day?  woo!  go obama!  
ok, now for serious matters.  my life.  so we're a ticking the moments til i land back in the U.S. (hopefully not in jail for being an illegal...haha.  joking mom!..i hope.)  and i need to start making some decisions about my life.  eww.  i hate that.  
first some answers to some FAQ's:
1. YES, i am coming back to the U.S. in may.  3 of my best friends are getting married.  two to each other (steph and zack) and the other is pantsy (otherwise known as miss jennifer lyons).  since i'm a bridesmaid in both, i should probably be there, yeah?
2.  NO.  i don't have an italian boyfriend (yet.)  and no, i'm not dating that crazy tenor.  (p.s. sarah p. and liz verified that he was completely insane b/c they met him...that's ANOTHER blog entry)
3.  I have NO IDEA what the hell i'm going to do after this.  german?  french?  (i should probably put SOMETHING in my bank account before i do either of those..)
segue!......

so, what should i do?  nannying is TOTALLY out of the question.  hell no.  here are some options.
1.  auditions - i should probably be doing something in music, right?  so, i can go to new york whenever i can for auditions....but who honestly knows what will come up?  i could end up doing rogers and hammerstein in ohio (not complaining...any job is cool w/ me!).  another option....dare i even say it?....disney?  ::gasp::  i know.  it could ruin all the fuzzy feelings i have for disney.  oh wait - those don't exist.  so, could be a good jumping point.  i do have a "disney" voice i suppose.  but there's no way i'm getting stuck in orlando, florida ::shiver:: (literally just did.)  so what do i do?  cali?  paris?  a tour?  just go audition and hope for the best?  i'm interested in your feedback.  especially those of you 'in the biz' who know about this kind of stuff.  
2.  school - yeah, i should probably go back to school.  i'm REALLY feeling britian for grad school right now (mostly because i KNOW i will melt at those accents. damn.).  but when? and how? and for what?  good questions.  i suppose i should start thinking about that.
3.  real job?  - yeah i know i'm a teacher here and whatnot, but i'll be honest...not so totally into teaching.  never was.  music?  yes.  ESL...ehh.  it pays the bills while i'm travelling.  i'm just being honest!  i mean i love the kids, but i don't want to do this forever.  what the heck am i going to do when i get back to philly?  crawl back to SRO?  for those of you not cool w/ the 'lingo' that would be Starr Restaurant Organization that i worked for as a server for 3 years...good money but not the sort of life i want.  i was pretty miserable.  just ask jeff king or sarah p.  - they had to put up w/ me.  my apologies.  

anyway, these are some things i got going on.  i should try and think of some stuff to do while i'm basking in the 60 sunshine in january, heck yes roma!  woo!  jealous?  you bet your bottom dollar you are ;)

Adivce, advice, advice. What to say? How about we get together and become gypsies? We can hang out I. Street corners and you can sing, I'll cook, and Cinzia can do portrait sketches. Sound advice there. No?

Well other than that I would love to go and see my sister performing somewhere. What is your dream? Really you are bound by nothing. You proved that when you went to live in Italy.

I'll go and work for SRO! Only in a slightly different compacity.
