Things have been much stranger since the year began and have continued to escalate since Spring Break began.
It's 3AM on the 27th of March. A Thursday. I'm unsure of when grades are supposed to be finalized but things are okay. I have some of summer to look forward to. Iowa, Florida/cruise, sergeant school for the Army, Samoa. I was offered France, Cameroon, Spain...
Won't get to do any of that. And my active drilling contract with the Army finishes up in September this year. I could stay in for another 3 or 6 years and get a 7 or 15 thousand dollar check for re-enlisting. Time is ticking and I'm unsure if I can withstand the weekend a month of stagnancy for another six years.
I graduate in the fall if all goes according to plan. Took two years longer than my peers, and it wasn't like I took those two years to contemplate my future. I have no idea what to do with an anthropology and sociology degree besides go on to get a masters in education. None of this seems pertinent to what ventures I have going on now. Managing a limo service? Selling roses? Sales? (Note to self: find someone else to sell roses for me. I'd rather do something else.)
I'm willing to learn how but being successful is still up in the air. It scares the fuck out of me. And the possibility of being locked into Seattle for the rest of my life.
