i lose sleep over ideas
i feel like writing (or typing) them out might force me to work a little harder to realize them.
idea a. take another job to fully utilize my work study. do america reads, look into the opportunity teaching english as a second language. save.
save for one of two things- india over winter session (arts in india program). pros- amazing experience, india as shown to me by a high respected professor of indian dance and native of the country.
or
(and this is a new idea)
take full advantage of the grace period given to me by loan companies. save save save save save and then invest in a multiple country air pass (or round the world ticket) and go to china and southeast asia, or africa, or central america (or... all of the above). pros- hostels, food, and living are cheap, and transportation would be the brunt of the cost. could easily live for 15 dollars a day in many of places listed above (and live COMFORTABLY). come back. either look for a real job (read. papa ginos) or... but must allow for loan deferment.
what i like about the peace corp is the 6000 dollars they give you to do with as you please. what i dont like is that said 6000 would inevitably go to paying off loans. oh loans, you and i have such a love hate relationship.
if i were to do the peace corp, i would only do it under the circumstances that i would be placed in a spanish speaking country. i just hate the two year commitment. i would come out 24 years old... 24 and a half actually. maybe even 25.
i abhor the fact that i am truly dreadful at saving money. truly dreadful. try as i might, i cant seem to get around instant gratification. this is a huge character flaw and one well in need of repair.
i also feel as though i've been quitting too easily in recent years. to give up on what are quite literally once in a lifetime opportunities because they appear to be too formidable is absolutely ghastly.
bloody hell, who am i even talking to?
