Everybody's living for the weekend
Have I used that title before? I think I have, or else it's always on my mind come Friday. Friday comes so frequently, so it seems.
Did you know I've never worked a long term full time job like this before in my life? Not a big surprise since I just graduated, but worth mentioning anyway.
This week has been rough, and with rough weeks comes serious thinking. I have decisions to make soon about the rest of my life in terms of grad school, a future career, and what I want out of life.
What I definitely don't want is to be living for the weekend like I am now. Life is short and I can't justify giving most of it up to something I don't enjoy. Most people don't like their job, right? That sucks.
The thing is that I can't think of anything that I would love doing for a long period of time. I like change and I get bored easily. I like sleeping. I like making my own decisions about how my day is spent.
That's why I like being a student. I guess I'll just be one of those for as long as possible. Great, decision made. Now I can get on with my weekend - a long one at that!
Feel free to comment, friends and strangers.

Jess, your comment hit home with me! I had a two hour conversation with your father this past weekend on just that subject. Where am I going from here, what the heck am I going to do with the rest of my life?? I know exactly what you mean when you say that you don't know what would interest you enough to spend a long period of time doing it. I think it's common and natural for people in their twenties to be confused and lack direction. But if you manage to figure out the secret to finding a meaningful career let me know!!
I agree completely! We've graduated from university, now what? All this education, we should be able to put it to good use. I'm confused too, we all are.

I guess we could have worse problems than confusion. At least we have choices and options thanks to our education.
Hey Jess,
I think we're all going to change our minds a zillion times in terms of what we want to do but what you're doing now is amazing and while you're there I'm sure you're getting a taste of the "real world" (aka not being a student). I think it's great that you had the courage to pack up and head to another country to try something new.
I love reading your blog!
Enough random babble.

Hey Heidi, great to hear from you! What are you up to these days? Are you an official working woman?
