Turbulent twenties: happy... and not.
I'm sorry. I realize that the vast majority of my blog entries have been excruciatingly boring lately... essentially since I graduated, that is. Life has gotten significantly more complicated since then, as anticipated (but in some unanticipated ways), and a variety of things have taken time away from some of the things I considered unbreakable habits. Like blogging, for example.
I don't really have specific things to write about at the moment, I suppose. Or maybe I don't have time to write about specific things as I wish I could so I generalize them? Or maybe the changes in my lifestyle to then-employee now-freelancer and graduate student don't permit anything with more detail? At any rate, Amanda and I got to catch up a little over lunch just the other day and we discussed the few of us that still blog post-bac. I've gotten over the feeling that I'm somehow invading the undergraduate SHU blogosphere with my posts, but the others are creaming me with worthwhileness! I feel like I'm not writing content like I used to. Good thing or bad thing? Neither? Both?
Sigh. Meanwhile, the big life questions are hitting me at a rather inconvenient time. I won't get into it here because if you still read this you probably already know what I'm talking about and if you don't then you will eventually. (Cryptic enough for ya? Ha.) Among the fruition in friendship and scholarship I'm (finally) experiencing in my graduate program, it's still hard not to be occasionally overwhelmed with the feeling of inadequacy and loss. Like I am now. Turbulent twenties. I can't wait to be older and have all this junk settled...
I just got my course schedule for the next year laid out with my advisor today, and that feels good. But knowing that I've got everything till graduation--May 2008 to May 2009--set in stone subsequently causes me to think beyond that. Because it's not just possible but necessary. Necessary but somewhat impossible. Somewhat impossible and becoming foggier each time I think about it.

Don't forget Mike Diezmos and Moira Richardson.
I'll be happy to keep reading what you write, as long as you find it useful to you.
