It seems like my life constantly shifts focus. That's ok, because that's the way I am. But I've thought things through to a large degree and while I'm not sure what the job prospects will be, I really want to be a college professor. There...it's said out loud and in writing. I've been checking out women's history programs. I'm looking at applying to (in order of preference): Chapel Hill, NC, Yale, and Brandeis (because of closeness to J mostly). But something I'm definitely looking forward to is having my own apartment. Some part of me really thinks that I should find out what I like in a living situation and that space for myself would be a good thing. If nothing else, I want a few semesters to myself before I choose housemates. I'm so burnt out on living with people...J's really the only person I could see myself living with, but we're both in complicated life positions so that is probably not feasible before I figure out what I want. So that means a few more years not living with J....but that's ok. It'll suck but we'll get through it.
