adios, aloha, au revoir, ciao, click-click, goodbye
December 31, 2005
the year is coming to an end and i closed out my undergraduate degree, friendships made through college, my stint as a bus driver for a university system, a couple months of self-diagnosed depression, and four and a half months of unemployment. on the reciprocal side i opened up a new job—not a career—and another year of new possibilities. the scary thing is that i'm still in the land of the unknown in reference to the pathway that i'll lead my life. it'd be best if i either started a career or even applied to graduate school, but i'm still undecided on the post-baccalaureate schooling. the idea of a graduate degree is unbelievably appealing to both my family and me, but it's a large financial undertaking for which i'm not quite ready to bear the burden.
during this time of the year many millions of people declare unattainable resolutions, or resolutions that are attainable, but never come to fruition. i've made resolutions in the past fully knowing that i wouldn't follow through. the thought is nice, but there's always the feeling of disappointment when i look back and realize nothing i planned panned out. so this year i shall not declare a resolution for the new year. instead i will keep doing what i'm doing, and also hope that i don't get sacked for knowing next to nothing about computer components.
have a fun, crazy, wild, relaxing, cathartic and safe new year's eve celebration as i know i will while visiting some non-college college buddies in the lovely city of san antonio.
(yes, i meant to say "non-college college buddies" as the friends in san antonio are from a different college, but we met through a mutual friend who attended my college. it's rather weird how it all turned out.)
