long long hiatus..life has been busy and crazy, I just finished fall quarter of my sophomore year and I am still alive!
my life since the last couple of posts consisted of school 60% of the time, work 30% and leisure 10% but that lived up that leisure time...
I absolutely loved all my classes except macroeconomics. This following statement sums up my feelings toward the subject:
"An economist is a man who states the obvious in terms of the incomprehensible." -Alfred A. Knopf
other than that, life has been pretty amazing. I worked like crazy and got to know my little kiddies. I really am loving babysitting/tutoring for this family.
When I did have a chance to go to a party or two, I made sure to have a great time, you know, kiss a couple of frogs. Mostly though, I was just a homebody. I really enjoyed the time I had to myself.
I really do not want to make this post long and exhausting, so I'll leave it a little vague but I do want to share what has been one of the greatest things that has happened to me, I am finally realizing what it is that I want to do. I have been struggling with what I want to do after college. The best thing I can do is head on over to grad school right after, but being realistic, I feel that I will be too burnt out to work efficiently. Since I have decided that I do not want a family of my own, at least not anytime soon, I figure that I will have time to go to grad school later on in my 20s. So I have explored my other options: move back home and get a good job to save up money, try to get a job in NYC or San Francisco and get a hip apartment to live the independent city life, travel the world, or join the Peace Corps...
Right now I am really leaning toward the Peace Corps, the only thing that is making me a little hesitant is the two-year commitment. It is not at all that I would not want to give up two years, but more like, I am scared of the effect that it will have on me once I move back to the U.S. because I have heard horror stories. My latest option is my favorite, but many people think I am crazy. After college I want to move to Israel.... and you know what? I will do it.....
today: Aesop Rock "Coffee" and anything by The Beatles
