Future?

Hello to all...I know it's been a ridiculously long time since I've posted. I've been slammed working 2 jobs and taking 6 hours of graduate courses. It's been a crazy semester thus far, and I'm no closer to figuring out what I want to do with my life, but...I do know that I'm not ready to be a full-time graduate student. I am tired of school, folks! I would absolutely love a master's degree and maybe eventually a doctorate, but for right now, I need a breather.

So, what's next you might ask? I have absolutely no clue. I'm in the process of trying to figure that out actually, and honestly, it's been pretty frustrating. I have this whole "fear of failure" thing looming over my head, and I don't want to look back on this time of my life 20 years from now and think, "Man, you really screwed that up." It's stressful, annoying, frustrating...in all honesty, I'm ready to be out of this chapter of my life.

My general "plan" for the time being is just start applying for jobs in any place I can think of. I'm open to any suggestions or thoughts on the matter as well. :-) I'm thinking that I like the journalism/public relations field since that's mostly what I've been learning in school recently. I've had an internship with Habitat for Humanity this semester, and I've loved that! Since that doesn't necessarily involve my degree though...I'll take any type of job that combines the two, lol. Seriously...I'll take any suggestions anyone might have... I'm willingly to move almost anywhere, and I absolutely LOVE to travel. Ha ha...I feel like I'm selling myself to a potential employer. Oh goodness, I think I've looked at my resume a little bit too much lately.

In other news, my current travel plans for the summer include Costa Rica, the beaches of Alabama, and hopefully New York and Maryland. I'm going to visit Frank while he studies abroad in Costa Rica, and this will be the first time I've gone back since leaving so I'm pretty excited. The beaches of Alabama will be our family vacation for the year, and it's always nice to spend quality time with the fam so I'm pretty pumped about that, too. I'm really hoping that New York and Maryland work out, though, because I've never been to New England. Travel plans make me oh so happy. :-)

Three weeks left before finals, a month and a half until I take the GRE, and two months until I'm chilling on the beach of Montezuma in Costa Rica with my bro. The summer's going to be amazing...just hope the rest of the year follows suit...

Love and peace to all,

Amelia
