so do what you must do
to find yourself
wear another's shoe
or paint my shelves
there's times that i was broke
and you stood strong
i think i found a place
where i ..
sleep don't weep

I really shouldn't interpret this as "Yes Emily. Drop out of school temporarily until you have yourself figured out. Until you have worked to pay off debt you already have and to save in order to get a bit more travelling out of your system."
I really want to though. And maybe it's just because I have an exam tomorrow, but... I don't know. School hasn't felt right since January. Shouldn't that be a sign? It feels like such a waste. I'm only 19. I'd plan to go back to school in 2 years. Unless I miraculously find a life abroad, but that's not very secure. I know people who think logically would tell me to stick to it and do all that "fun stuff" after. That's not really how it works. Once I'm done school I know I'll want to get cracking on a career to start paying off whatever I need to pay off. I just want to go volunteer in India for a couple months (all I need is airfare!!), live with monks, maybe stop by Ireland for a wee bit and then face the music. Clear my mind. Look for other possibilities for my life. Other paths. Shite.
