Randomness

I realized that I haven't actually written a post in a bit. Let's see...yes, the world is right where I left it. I'm entirely not feeling like classes this week but I'll deal seeing as next week I'm headed to Boston. New flirtations make me happy...but that's all I'll say about that. I wonder sometimes if you can always look back at your life and see how much you grow or if it's something that wanes as you get older? I know that I change and grow in such huge amounts...the 'me' of now is different from the 'me' of August for example. I've had some serious re-evaluations of what's important in my life. But that's been nice actually. My brother send home a message that he's fine and going to be stationed at Vilseck, which is the same post we lived on as young children. My uncle also lives in that area so that is a good thing for him. I cleaned my room last night and that had a wonderful effect on my space and mood. Life is pretty decent right now. Let's hope I didn't speak too soon.

Future Stuff...

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.
