Relax [Take it Easy]

Haven't been back for awhile. That could be due to the fact that not much has been going on recently. I recovered from my experience with tonsillitis/strep throat and have been just going to work and hanging out around the Village. In all honesty, that's it. That's my life. But I'm not going to leave a post with just that. So I will go into some detail as to what I've been doing.

I decided that once Uni was over, I would walk home from work everyday. This happens to be close to a three mile walk, so I'm getting a good amount of exercise in. It also gives me a lot of time to think about life and what's next on the agenda. It's funny to think that I came here to delay "real life", but end up facing the same issues posed to me during senior year. People have asked me what I want to do or what my plan is, and it's kind of scary to think about the future. I know that I'd like to work in the print/new media field, spreading information around to other people. I'd enjoy bringing truth into people's lives; it's depressing to think that the media is hesitant to tell people what is actually going on. Although I am not one to be the judge of that. I jest with people and my response falls into the line "if someone will pay me to read and write, I'll be happy." And the quote has some truth to it, but I don't want life to be that simple. I see people at work day in and day out and wonder to myself, "what are they doing with themselves?" Obviously, again I am no one to categorise what people are doing and what value it has, but I want to feel like I'm accomplishing something.

It's weird to think that Christmas is right around the corner. When the high temperatures are hovering in the mid to low 70s, Thanksgiving and the Holiday season is far from my mind. I usually associate a cool fall day with Thanksgiving, and hopefully a white Christmas. Usually doesn't happen, but it is fun to hope for. Oh and I've definitely started listening to Christmas music.

Just for kicks, the countdown to being home is now at 18 days. I've never wanted to be back more than now. Not that homesick, just miss the security of it. I guess.
