One week until the rest of my life begins. I think the weight of what that really means hasn't quit sunk in, though i get glimpses of it now and again. I realize that, you know, i never actually HAVE to go to school again if i don't want to. I don't have to go next fall, at any rate.
I could travel more, though that costs money. I would like to spend some time in Thailand and perhaps in China.
I could do a mini-mission (money, again). I've thought of working with aids victims in Africa with some people i know. At least that would be productive.
I could always just move out and get a job. THough doing what, without a degree, i have no idea. I've always wanted to be a river guide. I wonder what the requirements are for that.
I could try the starving artist thing. I could probably make it and not be all that starving.
I am eighteen years old with two years of college under my belt, just graduated from highschool and a citizen of one of the richest nations in the world. The world is at my feet...so why be conventional???
