At the close of this semester - my last one in grad school - i'm being all emo and introspective. So of course i wanted to write about it, in chalk on the sidewalk that is my section of the Internet. Here are some beautiful things I'd like to do ... asap.
- Take a trip to Brazil
Write - and actually get publishedSing in a band - i already do this, but would like to continue until i reach senility - and beyond. You can have dementia and still remember lyrics.Live in a city and be a workaholicWork for a non-profit .... again- Rent a Tuscan villa for two weeks in the summer w/ friends
- Go to Africa, preferably while doing work, or serving some cause in some manner
- Live in a Foreign country.
Have an urban bee colony in my backyardRemain a Free Bitch as long as possible
The future is so fickle. I've been to psychics, I've had my astrology read. I've plotted and guessed. Yet - the only way anything I've imagined has come true is through action. So many of my dreams have been realized this way: living in italy, moving to Texas for grad school, working at the Smithsonian. I hope I can keep this magic going. I think I can. Mostly because I am full of BLISSFUL IGNORANCE. it's a flame i've been fiercely protecting since i was born - and continue to do so.
Also - I feel that as long as my mother or friends are telling me my ideas are crazy/ridiculous/"don't DO that!" I am moving in the right direction. Because no one boring or practical every had an exciting, crazy life. And that is what i want.
Still applying for jobs, still trying to decide if I'm staying in Austin or getting the hell outta town ....
only time will tell.
