Post-Grad... T-minus 8 months.

Okay. A quick post, with probably a lot more to come on this subject later, but...

Post-grad plans? There are three main options:

1. Stay in NYC and work or something like that.

2. Go back "home" to Boston and work or something like that.

3. Go abroad for some time.

Currently, going abroad seems very appealing, as of late I've been questionning how much of how I see reality, life, Christianity, and even Jesus, is effected by the culture around me. I want to take this year (and hopefully the rest of my life) to really dive into the Bible and prayer with God to find out what being a Christian, following Jesus, and living the life I am called to lead really looks like. There are a lot of assumptions and questions that are be implied in those few sentences, but that's for later discussion. Basically, it'd be crazy to go abroad for a bit. Currently considering and looking into Peacecorps and Food for the Hungry... maybe even JET, but that seems less likely.

Any thoughts or suggestions? (On the general future/post-grad plans or on organizations abroad?)

yeap.

Said it before, and will say it again: life is crazy. Honestly I never know what will even happen the next day.

Oddly, though I've been in school for my entire life and am still a student, I've never felt like less of a student than I do now. I think it's about time to find myself apart from academia. People say that in college you figure out who you are, but I think I am just starting to do that now.

(Ok, not like I don't know who I am and the past years of college haven't advanced my exploration into the question of "who am I?" but I am seeing it in an entirely new light now.)

Uninstall

Today I uninstalled warcraft III.

It's about time. Hopefully I will be more productive and constructive with my time now.

Oh, life.

ah sigh.

Life, you confuse me. I have recently realized that navigating you is both incredibly easy and difficult all at once; impressive, impressive. Not really sure how to cope with my majors/minors, future life, "passion" for music, passion for God, for people. Not sure how to deal with money that I will soon "need" to put a roof over my head and food on the table. But I'm not sure what I really "need" anyways. And I'm not sure where I'll be "going" or doing in the not-so-far-away future. I need to make myself write. I realized writing helps me make sense of things but I do it so little; I think partially because I've stopped slowing down from my oh-so-fast pace of life. So it's time to slow down. Hopefully. Here and there.

One thing I think I've neglected is that I really enjoy playing musical instruments, particularly with people. I also thoroughly enjoy singing, pretending to beatbox, dancing (when nobody's watching, or I can pretend that nobody is), occasionally pretending to rap... you know the deal. But I really like playing musical instruments.

I hope that this year I will put all the countless hours that I have spent learning various musical instruments (and in particular the guitar) into something cohesive and... musical. Or at the least, I'll get considerably better at guitar and singing.

Knowing me, I'll probably stop writing here right after this post, as well as fail at practicing guitar and recording different doodles. But we'll see.
