lightning

dense fog. down pour of rain. flashing lights in the night sky.
and hungover.

i see snow!

i woke up. went downstairs to make myself a coffee. came back upstairs, put on Patsy Cline’s greatest hits, opened up the blinds, and it’s snowing! it’s beautiful!!

to school or not to school

in times of unemployment and recession, many people go back to school. i’ve been considering and reconsidering this idea for days/weeks/months now. the program that i am most interested in happens to be here in new york. although further education was definitely not part of my post-undergrad plans, things change. in my last few months of college, i regretted not majoring in urban planning. however, that regret didn’t last long since i veered towards the arts.

now, that interest in urban planning is resurfacing and my other bachelor’s degree would make a pretty smooth transition into getting my masters. i wouldn’t be able to pursue this until the spring of 2010, 1 year from now, but i suppose the process would have to start soon.  once i start the process, it seems like my life will be on a set path for the next 3 years. yikes. the idea of that is a little daunting as i am not sure how much i like putting myself on this track or any track in general.

my mother is right, im a lost soul.
