It’s going to be a while till life is good again. It might take a certain job, a certain person, a certain place, a certain purpose. I want to spend some time reflecting on this year, to see what can be learned.
First of all…I strayed from my goal. I left Wash U. too early, I had some momentum, some allies. I didn’t know what was practical at the time. My goals were not unrealistic. I just discoverd some other 24 year old who started a project that just seemed like a good idea. It involves students on college campuses putting together print-on-demand books that reveal things that the avg. college guide doesn’t. I’m pissed, because they accomplished their goal. They made the right contacts, got out the mass e-mails, made their presence known. I had a golden project…but wasn’t bold enough to get it to where it had to be.
I applied for a job this summer at a couple of NYC hostels. I need to be around something foreign to make me feel alive again, but not necessarily go back to my camp. Going to watch a movie called “he died w/ a falafel in his hands”
Went shooting w/ the dad today…good time.

also… i can’t remember for the life of me if i told you about this or no but check out http://www.couchsurfing.com if you have a second. it’s an awesome site, perfect for travelers, meeting people, getting free places to stay. look for me under Caitlin Murphy.
