59 Days To Go

   It's all a matter of time now. These past few weeks have proved to be slow-going as I expected. Consequently, I don't really have that many updates. I've spent my days finding ways to keep myself occupied, while trying not to pull my hair out (what's left of it at least!) The last 2 times I ever counted down the days like this were in anticipation of my return from the sandbox, and while I was in BCT a few years ago. I must admit I'm not a fan of waiting. Be it as it may.
   I can almost swear that I'm turning into the guy Edward Norton portrayed in Fight Club. My nights have become my days, a time in which I operate. It hasn't really been by choice, it's just something I've grown accustomed to. I've also been watching a lot more television than I have in the past. Although I still believe most things on broad cast television are shit, I've become a big fan of Jimmy Fallon. That dude rocks! I often pretend to plan some of the many trips that I'll be taking while in Europe for these coming holidays. I'm not really sure  what I'll indulge in for xxx-mas or NYE yet, but it's going to be of biblical proportions as TJ would say.
    The search for grad schools has also begun, does anyone know much about, or ever heard anything of The Open University that's based out of the UK? That's one option, along with distance learning institutions here in the US. I might consider Penn State's and the University of Florida's distance programs too. Decisions decisions. At the end of the day it will all depend where in Europe I end up, even though I'm almost sure it will be Germany. If that's the case, The Ruprecht Karl University of Heidelberg would be a serious option.
    I made a few goals for myself since I last posted an update, and quite honestly I've been pretty irresponsible about them. Nevertheless, today marks the day my habits begin anew.  I've gone ahead and found a temporary job for these next two months until I leave. Knowing me, I forced myself to find something very subtle that would allow me to meet new people and create space for interactions. I'm going to be a stripper! hahaha kidding, I'll be bar tending in Bethesda.
   Sadly enough, that's the only real development in my life right now. I know those of you that actually read my blog whenever I post something are very good at giving me feedback, and I really appreciate it. I do it to clear my mind, and to share with you guys this little transition of mine. So here it is. Needless to say, many of our paths have prevented us from catching up in person the way we're used to and how we all prefer. I can honestly say that I'm stoked to see some of you at homecoming on the 30th. Until then, if you're fortunate enough to have my #, hit me up and we'll set something up. If you don't have it, it's not that I don't like you...you should just know how much I hate phones to begin with. Your questions have been answered. Cheers!
