I keep looking back at all the entries I’ve made since I started this new blog and it’s pretty much a hodgepodge of content all along the lines of ‘What am I thinking about right now.’ We have reviews & in depth character analyses of movies/TV characters, snippets of emo book lines & song lyrics, the written text equivalent of ‘routine vlogs’ as youtubers do nowadays (lol sorry I came of age in the blogger & livejournal era), and then them travel listicles. Well, welcome to the mind of a Gemini. Heh. I also have about 7 drafts of entries that I just never got around to finishing. I’ll get to it one of these days haha.
You know how in songwriting you have to just live life to have something to write about? I guess I’ve been doing that and, heyo, will I have something focused to write about now. Here’s the big life news: I’m going back to school. Grad school.
Weee!
(Here’s hoping I’d still feel like that when I’m in the middle of a paper or midterms or whatever.) And the kicker is, it’s not simply grad school, it’s grad school abroad.
Yup, I’m picking up my life and cramming it in 2 suitcases (and a carry-on) for the time-being.
In all honesty, I’m really excited to see what this next year or so will bring about for me. I traveled alone once before and I absolutely loved it. The independence, the freedom. I thought it’d be scary but I never felt more confident and, for some reason, disciplined. Haha. Sartre was right, once you’re thrown into the world, you just inevitably shape up and become responsible for everything you do. I guess this is gonna be that solo travel experience x100.
I’ma try to put everything into this blog so I can make sense of everything and have something to look back on once it’s over. Maybe I’ll do a special Grad School tab even haha. Let’s see.
I turned 28 recently too, so that’s something. I’m basically living the last year of my twenties in another country, doing a whole new thing, and being fully alone as an adult. Monumental life change indeed.
Here we go!
26 & OVER
