Post-graduation life looms large these days, and I've been feeling awfully pressured to get on the ball considering I have no concept whatsoever of what I want to do with myself. I've vaguely decided to go East for a while, be it for Teach for America, grad school, culinary school or general bumming. Those are the four main tracks right now. Did I mention that I don't have a damn clue about what I want to do with myself? Not one. My mom suggested film school to my great surprise. My dad thinks I should stick to grad school. My brother grunted or something. I'm pulling in as much advice as I can because I just don't know what I want.
Unrelated, but kick-ass: I made a little whirlwind tour of the mid-west last long weekend. Flew into Detroit and hung out in 9 Mile with my buddy Dar, hit up the grandparents in Wheaton (outside of Chicago) and spent two wild nights in the Windy City with the Vienna crew. Needless to say, the show this four in the morning was a bit lackluster in the banter department.

i vote for culinary school if you can live by me (or rather, if i get to live by YOU). and if you go for bumming, hey. i might be up for a little bit of that. i'm doing my best to shut out these looming when-you're-not-in-school-you're-really-nothin'-special feelings... but i have to admit, i'm suddenly thinking about law school and grad programs in history with an intensity that had never cropped up before.
wish our michigan paths had crossed: i'm headed there this week with D, looking at the Ann Arbor UM's english program. oh and speaking of crossed paths. you should be getting a letter for me any one of these days that isn't labor day or sunday. i was hoping it would arrive before you moved out at the end of August, but now I'm afraid it will arrive somewhere you're not...?
looking forward to Wake Up With Erica! tomorrow morning.
