history repeating...
August 2002: just returned from my 2nd summer at camp, and I was missing it so much. I said that I felt old, so much older than my high school friends. I said I wanted to live a simpler life, out in the country, providing for myself. I said I wanted to "get on" with life. I asked, "who am I?"
July 2008: I have just spent my first year not going to camp, and I am missing it. I still feel old, much older than other ALTs I associate with. I still want a simpler life, though it always seems to become more complicated, and I still want to live in the country, though not hunting for my food... I still wonder who exactly I am, but I have become nervous about "getting on with my life" because I don't know what the next stage is. If you can't see it, should I be blindly walking about?

I have the afternoon today and tomorrow free. Thus the 3 posts. Note, THREE. Triple the number I've done in the past month. I figure I've had a political post, a JET life post, and a reflective post... so when I am looking back in another 4 years I'll have a rounded veiw of where I was at.
