Procrastinating

If you never see me again, it's because I lost myself in the mountains.

I finally turned in my GAP paperwork, which means I get to graduate on time, which means I get to be a twentysomething after May. If you want to know what my idea of being a twentysomething is, listen to Jamie Cullum's song "Twentysomething". It's got all the right phrases and feelings that capture what it feels like to be old enough to want more in life, but not be wise enough to know how to get there. Meanwhile, all we do is hang out and have fun. Not a bad plan.

Speaking of plans, I've been toying with the idea of going to Europe for an extended period of time. Visit the relatives in England, visit friends in Germany and Norway.... maybe even Lyon! :) And by extended period of time, I mean more than two months. Technically, I can't stay longer than 3 months, unless once I'm over there I find some fab job. Although, I haven't exactly thought of going over there in order to find a job. Because what kind of job could I have? Teaching German, probably not. Maybe if it was an International School. But then you have to be certified. I could teach English, but I'd have to be certified in the TESOL or TEFL. Which is easier than being certified to teach at a regular high school, etc. Who knows... maybe I'll go over and meet the man of my dreams, get married and involve myself in whatever way I can to stay happy. Maybe I've already met the man of my dreams, but never thought of him that way, and this time around it'll be easy to see that.

First, let's write some papers, pass the MA exam and breathe. After that.... we'll see where life takes me. The travel bug has bit me yet again. Oh dear......
