my big fat oof dilemma

after topical conversations with em back at school and with sarah now at home, the post-graduation dilemmas have been spending a good deal of time nipping at me heels. while i recognize that everything doesn't need to be etched in stone once the diploma is handed over, i still feel the need to get my rear in gear, as they say.

but where to even begin? i definitely enjoyed being in dc, and i think i'd like to live there again at some point, but i was kinda thinking to do something not east coast for the time being. there seems to be a massive migration to austin, but texas? uhm, red state whaaaat. plus, the idea of being land-locked seems so foreign and somewhat scary to me.

i think that i am going to apply for teach for america, but i'm certainly not 100% sold at this point. the idea of doing it in dc though, and taking classes at american to get my masters while doing it? pretty hot and tempting alright...

and w/ who yo? i had always imagined this after college time to be spent with a group of gal pals in a pad of vibrant colors and laughs over icecream till dawn. i dunno though, i'm certainly not going to let anything hold me back, but i also never expected to have a boy thrown into the mix either. there is much excitement/decision making which lies ahead, as well as great debts to pay off and a severe lack of funds to do so with.

"vacation," eh? suuuure. anyone have any great moments of clarity lately? lay 'em on me, killers.
