Updates Galore

OK, so in lieu of writing out an entire entry on how I should blog more and how it's been a long time since I last wrote anything on here and how I really should try harder to write more, I am finishing this paragraph and considering that enough on the subject.

I'm going to Haiti soon. I, honestly, totally forget about the fact that I am leaving the country to go somewhere unlike anywhere I have ever been to do something....well, something. It's not that I am not excited. I very much am. But I do not really understand what I will be doing there. I want to help. I want to be useful. I am just not sure how. I am not too worried, though. God will use me somehow (right?).

I have received a few replies from the ridiculous number (35) of applications I currently have floating out there on the desks of assistant principals across this country. Two rejections. I'm ok with it though, I really didn't want to work in those two places, they were more back-ups than anything. (Seriously.) It's still quite early.

And now, to keep readers more interested. A random picture:

I will be moving in a few months. It is pretty much (99.9%) fact. This is incredibly exciting because I love going to new places and meeting new people and seeing different culture and travelling. I am also, sometimes, incredibly worried that it will all be a big mistake. I have so many other friends and family members...can I leave them behind? should I leave them behind? will they leave me behind? can I handle that?

These are questions I don't have (and sometimes am not sure if I want) the answers to.

It actually really bothers me that I ended that last sentence in a preposition. But there is no way that I am going to write "...to which I do not have (and sometimes am not sure if I want) answers." It undermines the entire style of this entry. :sigh: Linguistic dilemmas.

---

I have one final exam and one thesis standing between me and the end of my quaternary education. I can see the end, but I just can't bring myself to finish it. Procrastination is a temptuous mistress.

---

I miss late-night discussions on important (and ridiculous) things and themes. They were rampant in my earlier years of college. Now they have dwindled. I wonder if this is something I should accept, or something I can actively change.

---

I wonder that about a lot of (re: most) things. Is the path I am idly sliding down something that I should learn to accept or something that I should actively try and change.


Hurm.
