I just haven’t had much to post about lately.

Actually…that’s a lie.

The last 2.5 weeks, my brother was back home from the island on his semester break. He went back on Saturday, and his classes started today. Woot. I sooo want to go back already. Or just go somewhere. I’m addicted to travel, and I don’t have the money to slake that thirst. (feel free to replace “travel” with “shopping,” “fine dining,” “living alone,” or any other things I can’t afford at the moment).

Getting a job is top priority, and making contacts is the best way to go about getting said job. Basically, in order to do any of that, I need to move to D.C. already, because if I keep trying to apply for jobs from here, I’m not going to get anywhere. So now…I just have to work out the logistics of actually going out there for a while. Hmmm.

In the mean time, I have some things I’m looking forward to doing in the next month, including visits from far-flung friends, and maybe a graduation party here or there for my friends who will graduate in a week or so.

A lot of times, I think about how I’m behind in so many ways, but then I realize that where I am today is not entirely of my own choices. And honestly, if I had done things in a more traditional way, it’s possible that when I got sick, I wouldn’t have had such immediate access to care and the doctors who know me. I would have been working and would have had to take several weeks off, which could have been hazardous to keeping a new job. And I would have been alone somewhere, without my family, and miserable. No, things definitely worked out the way they should have, and I marvel all the time that they did.

So…yeah. I might get fustrated from time to time that I’m not where I’d like to be, but I know that if things had been different, they might be a lot worse right now. I just took my “year off” after school, and not before. And I’m ok with that, even if it was partly decided for me.

For now, I’m just ready to start a new chapter of my life. I’m excited to move, but at the same time, I am sad to know that I’ll be leaving my family soon. Then again, I’m the kind of person who will buy a plane ticket for a weekend without thinking too much about it, so…we’ll see.

Still making loan payments. That sucks. And I have some bogus late fees I’m trying to work out. Meh.

I bought a dress online without knowing if it would fit me at all (first time for everything, eh?). It arrived today, and it totally fit. It was even a bit too big, which is better than too small because I can have it taken in. This pleases me.

Stream of consciousness = end of blog post.

Ciao!
