Poetry submissions and Jobs

I got a hair up my ass today and decided I really needed to submit some poetry to different journals. So far I've successfully submitted to one place now I'm just trying to find some other journals and publications. Just trying to make a name for myself and push myself towards my dream. Though I never thought it was so hard to write a short bio about yourself. I know myself I know where my writing comes from but I don't want to sound stupid or like I'm full of myself.
Anyway, lately I've been focusing on trying to find a good career path. I'm thinking teaching but I want to substitute first. I've taken the cbest for substitute teaching and didn't pass the math so now in the mean time, I'm trying to study and look for other jobs. Just need to get out of my minimum paying job. I have a bachelors degree for Christ sake.

fifty shades of grey

I'm currently reading the popular series Fifty Shades of Grey. My thoughts so far. I would love to have an amazing female protagonist eventually in some sort of book. The constant strewn of book about women fawning over men is starting to get old. The only time I can root for Anastasia so far is when she's emailing him and putting him in his place but then the second the emails end it goes back to her being pathetic and hoping what she said didn't just piss him off. I mean don't get me wrong. I've been there, when I've fawned over a guy and acted and said stupid things but maybe I just want more of a personality instead of a women defining herself by the man she is with.
I want more! My boyfriend says I need to write my own book with a strong female lead. Maybe I will. But for the time being I'm going to try and get through the series and figure out what all the fuss is about. I just hope it's not popular because of just the sex scenes cause I might as well just watch porn.

Sorry that was harsh and probably something you didn't want to know.
