i've been a bit overly stressed lately.... pretty much as stressed out as i get, really. the teach for america vs stay in chicago decision was really weighing on me. i couldn't even really function today. i just sat in my living room for hours, then went to bed and half slept and rolled around. but about a half hour ago, my decision came to me. "came to me" is really the best way to put it. somewhere between miss independent and creeque alley on my playlist, i realized that im staying in chicago. maybe dave loggins finally convinced me, im not sure. i just know that im staying - turning down at least 35 grand a year and 10 thousand bucks toward a masters from hopkins to hang around chicago and do an amorphous "something." because i want to. and as we all know, now i get what i want.
