(no subject)
so tomorrow at 7:00 AM i am leaving for Reno to go on a business trip. It's weird. I am totally not prepared for something like this. I don't even know what to pack. I have my "work clothes" but everything else i have is street wear. I have a couple kind of nice going out clothes ... most of which i think are inappropriately too sexy for business. i guess you only know about these things by trial and error. i'm a little excited, i think it will be fun to get a better grasp of the industry i work in, i truly believe that the longer i stay in a job like this, the more i'll know and the better i'll perform. However, i'm also very concerned that i'm going to either feel shy/awkward at points, get lonely, and feel homesick. i will be gone for 4 days...not that long i know, but if i'm not having fun i'm sure it can drag on.
i had a pretty good time up in SF this last week. its always so much fun to get to see A. though its becoming harder as we all keep getting older and i still feel like the one that doesn't really have any direct path for life. when i look at my 3 best friends--they ALL know what they want to do for a career: 1) Social Worker 2) Forensics Doctor 3) Body Modification
I have no idea what I want to do. I don't want to go to grad school unless it's necessary for the "big picture" simply because i can't afford it, and because time is money. i don't want to spend my time doing something that won't work in my benefit down the line. Now of course i understand that no matter what having a masters will help me down the line, in fact, i'll probably even be compensated for the degree... which brings me to my second point: even if i do decide to go to graduate school just because i love and miss school--i'd have no idea what to get my masters in. I love womens studies, and that hasn't been completely ruled out- though that will limit a lot of the possibilities out there if i go with it again... (and at this point i've 80% chopped the idea of law school out entirely)
Anyway, on a far more exciting note, I got tickets to go see the White Stripes in concert at the Forum and I got an email notifying me of a upcoming Tori North America Tour. I really think I should be surrounding myself around music more.
Oh, and last night i went to shabu shabu downtwon which is pretty fuckin' amazing and then afterword S. showed me the pictures from his trip to Death Valley and some of it was so fuckin' beautiful i almost cried...can't even imagine really being there if the picture can get me that worked up.
then again, i did just get my period. if you can't tell by this entry i'm pretty f'in emotional! and craving chocolate like its nobody's business. i feel like every year , chocolate becomes more and more of a necessity to survive my period.
Ok did i mention that i am totally obsessed with Man vs. Wild? this guy is even more of a badass than jack bauer, because he's REAL. I wonder what that guy is like when he is not traveling and fighting to survive? sitting up in a pent house somewhere boozin' and chillin? or is he just a normal guy? with a family somewhere? is Bear Steve Irwin's replacement? I dunno, they are both different concepts but i can see the comparison ..
