gettin' on that subheading jam Family Little brother with Asperger's is having girl trouble so now I gotta be on call to walk him through that. Dad just turned 68 this weekend. Health So I'm only 24 but my bones think I'm like 70 plus and I've been waking up with intense hip pain and hobbling a lil. I think it's a gluteus medius or minimus strain that may or may not have happened because I tried to take a picture of my ass once. #millennialproblems ? Work Sucks. 6 weeks til my predeparture orientation, then another week until I can give my notice, then 4 more weeks til I leave for Kosovo. Beyond Comfort Zone Edge Progress Report I'm really pretty nervous about being done with school because I haven't had time off from school in 18 of my 24 years. I need to relearn how to read for pleasure and not to skim through 200 pages looking for headings. I also need to embrace slowing down and not trying to get things done as fast as possible (as exemplified by me trying to bring my travel scrips to the pharmacist yesterday and having them tell me to come back 10 days before I leave for Kosovo lol) . So I guess I have my work cut out for me
I think a lot about my friends who just graduated or are soon to leave school. So I've been out of college since the fall of 2012 (dropped out, not graduated). In the period immediately afterwards I had the adjustment of "what the hell do I do with my life" now that I had all this undirected free-time. Then I did whatever seemed the most interesting. Then I travelled. Then I found myself a lot more ready for settling down for school -- shit, I actually can't wait to resume. I was going to try to finish school in another state but the more mature® me realized that there are a ton of resources and advantages to doing it at home, living with mom. So that's my plan now for the next 3 years or so. But here's the thing. It took me a while to get used to being a free, self-directed adult. And now I feel like I'm giving that up to go to school full-time again. And my friends, who are starting or are in the middle of their I-just-left-college-what-the-fuck-do-I-do adjustments, are going to, in three years when I'm done school, be in the middle of their lives. My point is that there's just a necessary and unavoidable amount of post-university discombobulation you have to get through. And the sooner you start it, the sooner you see it through to the other side. And I'm happy for you, because you're balling out (counter-radicalism?? that's awesome) and you're very young and that means you'll be very young when you're through the discombobulation. I really like the subheader life-categories jam, I might cop that too.
