Home Stretch

So here's to my first complete year back at school. Almost over. Whenever something is ending, I'm always reminded of how far I have to go. Not in a bad way anymore, but in an exciting, I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts way. Summer is coming up and I'm pretty stoked because summer is my favorite time in Utah. I played around with the idea of going home for the summer, but it just doesn't seem to fit anymore. Minor mental break down, but I'm fine now, thanks for asking. So I was thinking today about where I want to go with my life and I can honestly tell you that I'm not really sure. My latest kick, thank you Joylin and Cultural Anthropology is still graduate in Anth obviously, because I love it, but then I'm thinking maybe I want to work for a non-profit incorporating Anthropology somehow. It seems to fit quite nicely actually. I honestly just want to do something with my life that means something. Not that my life hasn't meant anything up to now. I think our lives always mean something based on the people we touch, but I mean really do some good in the world. I want to meet the people of the world. I find that the more I learn about other people's cultures and way of life, the more compassion I have for the people of the world. I heard a song today that really struck me. It was talking about you pick the date and I'll pick the city kind of a thing. I love that. I want to be able to just call up a good friend and say, "hey, next month, let's meet in Barcelona, or Santorini, or Istanbul." Awesome. Life goal attained. All after listening to a 3 minute song on Youtube. Yep, I'm really simple folks. So, that leads me back to my present state. Do I have that option right now? Um, no, but that's ok. Right now, I've gotta focus on the big picture. That's getting this education thing done so I can move on with my life. Until then, I want to explore this side of the country. Who's in for the Grand Canyon??????

Here's a little auditory snack for ya!
