This coming weekend is going to be pivotal for me, only because there are some “now or never” decisions that have to be made. So here’s a rundown of all the life-changing thoughts that will be going through my mind, and perhaps some of my recent crankiness, for which I apologize, will be explained.
I need to once again inform my landlord of my intentions with the apartment. My lease is up (again) at the end of April. I’ve been putting off moving out because moving from one place to another is a big pain. However, living here and commuting to work is expensive. This leads me to my next thought.
My job hasn’t been going in the direction I’ve wanted so I’m going to make some concerted efforts to make some changes. I’ve got mad skillz at various things and I’m always taking classes, so there’s no reason for me to be stuck. I could be working for a great, innovative technology company. I could be working for a great, innovative arts-related non-profit. What, exactly, should I be doing, and how, exactly, can I hook up with people who will find me valuable?
To determine this, I’m going to do a full skills and interests self-audit; I need to get it all down on paper. If law school is still something that interests me, I’m going to be spending time research and applying to schools this weekend so I don’t miss any deadlines.
Here are some other things I’ll be thinking about:
* Moving across the country
* Buying a house of some sort in some location
* Other things
The problem is that any one decision relies on a number of others. Cyclical dependencies can be frustrating.
Good luck with that. We have to make a decision about our apartment, too, but it’s mostly Carrie’s–because she has a number of similar life-altering decisions to make. Try not to go too insane with it.
