finished.
so. i graduated. i now have a bachelor's degree in interdisciplinary studies with a focus on non-profit administration, psychology, and women's studies. my whole college career was aimed at non-profit work though. i am not feeling the whole ecstatic moment though. i'm just glad that i'm finished with getting up early for classes.
so the next question is: what the hell to do now?
i have a lot of ideas...one is standing out more than any of them. which involves moving overseas to south america. i want to work in the orphanages (how angelina jolie of me..) or teach english/literacy skills to the natives. i just want to experience a complete culture shock. i am trying to save up as much money as i can if it ends up working out! the older women i work with think i should go for it. they keep telling me how they regret not taking advantage of every opportunity when they were younger. so i'm not going to live a life of regret.
i am so tired of my routine schedule in sc. i work friday, saturday, sunday 33 hours...then i get monday, tuesday, wednesday, and thursday off. which is really nice. but i want out of south carolina for a little while. i have no drive to try to find better employment here. i could apply for higher positions at the charles lea center, and probably get offered the jobs, but i want out. out. out. out.
my summer is going to be fucking amazing though. i am going to chicago in june, (hopefully) seeing the smashing pumpkins live again for the first time in 7 years, going to miami to meet someone very special to me, then spending the next 2 1/2 weeks showing her around south carolina, maybe going to pride 2007....so i've got a busy and exciting schedule!
then hopefully i could go to south america for 3 or 4 months and volunteer. what an experience! i am trying to learn spanish now. i just have to sit down and actually spend time reading and memorizing the words/sentences.
i had a friend pass away last wednesday which was really depressing. it really shows how precious life can be. i had just spoken with him last friday night, and now he is gone. and if it turns out to be a hate crime-then that is just horrific. RIP sean kennedy.
my moods have been going up and down all over the fucking place. i think i'm just stressed with decisions and everything else that has happened. the one person i want a hug from lives 3500 miles away. :( most people think i'm nuts for going to meet someone from a different country i met online, but i am just going day by day and i haven't been let down yet. she makes me smile like no other.
i need sleep. i've so been lacking sleep these past few weeks.
i hope everyone is doing well!
sorry this entry is all over the place!
