…..

there are so many opportunities, so many things you think you would love to do. so many things you feel like you should do. so many things. I tend to always have some sort of idea on the backburner, a back-up plan for if whatever I am doing now fails. the last few years of my life have been ridiculous in that most of my plan “a’s” have come to fruition….but my luck is bound to stop sooner or later. anyways…my main back up plan was to apply to the peace corps if I didn’t get into grad schools. a lot of people want to save the world in their own little way (at least people I know at my naive age right? give us awhile to get bitter I guess). There is still a route I want to take to save the world, but my friend dan is taking the ballsy route of the peace corps. Mongolia. More than two years. Hottest and coldest place on earth = gobi desert. him and his girlfriend wanted a few photos before he left, so I took some. It’s like when I travel I am so busy taking photos of everything I have to stop and remember to ask someone to take a pic of me, or turn the camera on myself, mainly so my mom can see it. They never take pictures of themselves so that’s why I was there. anyways, good luck dan. you’re doing a noble, ballsy thing that I couldn’t bring myself to put in the forefront of my plans for many reasons, one of them being a little too scared to commit that chunk of time away (despite how much I like thinking about going to obscure places, I don’t actually get there as much as I would like).

everything else around here is more or less the same for the moment, good people but not a lot to do. for now that’s ok …about 6 weeks till I head out to for awhile, and am essentially gone from here for the next two years with awhile in new york city, a short surfy stint in north carolina with family and the start of school all over again.
