It's been quite a while since I've posted anything on here. But I guess it's time again. Not too much to report, really. I have classes, including two seminars that are keeping me very busy.

I definitely understand your indecision here. I finally opted out of going to medical school because I don't think my tenuous mental health can handle it. I'm going to be doing missionary work abroad for a year, then probably maybe possibly teaching high school?

I would highly recommend doing something that you only want to do for a year or two, so that you can have a healthy transition from school life into the Real World(TM) and figure out who you are when you don't have papers due and unfinished homework. If after that school doesn't look so bad anymore, think about going to seminary or some other form of grad school. If after that time, of course, you look back and say, "Man, I'm so glad I'm not in school anymore!" then grad schools aren't such a good idea. But give yourself time. We're all going to be burned out at the end of this year. We've spent our whole lives in training for what we're going to "be," only to find that we don't know what that is! Give yourself time. Stop training for awhile. Live, exist, think, pray. Don't push yourself to find an answer that you may not be equipped to find just yet.
