ALBUS SEVERUS POTTER
Hi, whoa, it's been a while since I've done this. And because of that, I just wrote an entire entry and then deleted it. Way to go, Alex. I guess I've gotten bored with livejournal in the ... 5? ... years I've had this thing. But we'll give it another go.
I've been back in the US for almost 3 months now. The transition has been weird ... at times very difficult in so many different ways -- many of which I did not think it would be difficult in. Third world Spanish speaking country, but living with extremely rich people ... to being rather broke in Boston ... yeah, weird. I could go on and on about everything I miss (nearly everything) and everything I learned (which I still can't wrap my head around), but I'm sure none of you want to hear about that. But if any of you do want to speak Spanish with me, anytime, anywhere, let me know. :)
Lately ... for a while ... I've been at a loss regarding what I want to do with my life. My future. Ooooo, the future. I'm so sick of people asking me about it. Senior year ... where to go next?! There are at least 3 masters degrees I want to earn, and perhaps a PhD somewhere along those lines. But really ... where to go to school? East Coast or West Coast? All advice welcome! What day in September should I take the GREs? Do I really want to go to grad school? Some small part of me wants to graduate, fall MADLY in love, get married, move to the Cape, have lots of babies and spend thousands and thousands of dollars at Crate and Barrel to decorate my new -- permanent -- home. Some small part of me is sick of moving every 6 months. Small part. What do I do?
But for now I am still deciding who to support in the 2008 election. I do adore Jon Stewart. And miss you folks. so much. For now, though, we are all where we are and can do little about whatever differences and distances there are between us. So buy yourself a nice bottle of sauvignon blanc (as I clearly have done) and have a beautiful late-summer night.
kokoro.
