A pretty lady I know angered the Greek god of emesis, Ipecac. Ah well, Boston another time will still be fun. I'll take a rain check and she'll take some extra strength Pepto Bismol.
So I didn't get the internship I was banking on at Hill Holiday. Unfortunately for me, I'm left high and dry now as far as summer jobs go. I'm going to apply to a couple of different full time jobs for the summer. If at all possible, I'd like to get away from my parents and work somewhere else. I'd like to be in Allentown so I guess I'm going to have start planning and looking right in the area. Dr. Kussmaul mentioned I might help him setting up the Linux network at school for the computer science program and I figure that might be the first place I look.
For some reason, one of the more pressing issues on my mind has been where I'm going to live after college. I always figured I'd take a job and then just live where the job is right outta college. ...But after some good advice I'm wondering if I want to take a few chances right out of university. I'd like to go live down South for a bit where the rent is cheaper. I'd also like to live in a city (if I can afford it). Then, of course, I wonder about living in Vermont or New Hampshire. So where exactly am I going to go?
Really, I'm not looking to find myself. I think I've got that much down and I believe that puts me ahead of a lot of other people. Know thyself? Check-a-roo.
So what am I going to do? I want to stay close with my friends but I can't help but feel like after college is over, the same thing that happened during high school graduation will occur all over again: I'll keep in touch for a little bit but then I'll slowly lose touch. Psychology studies are right: You're emotionally close to those that you're physically near.
I don't want to lose my friends.
Kate is going to live in NYC and follow her passion. Rob is probably going to work in some big accounting firm. Tim is going to seminary or whatever it's called. Ben is probably going to be a teacher or go to school some more to be a psychologist. Alli is probably going to work for the government.
Holy crap, that's it for my close friends that still go to Muhlenberg. I'm friends with a lot of people at school but I only have a few close buddies. Ouch.
Do they all know what they're going to do? Aw crap. Now what?
