What's next?

Why is it so difficult to do nothing? Why does it feel like life will pass me by if I don't fill every second with some form of activity? Don't even seem to have the patience to watch tv anymore. It has to be tv + phone or tv + surfing or tv + eating or sometimes...more than two activities at a time in any case. Arrghh...maybe it's coz of the abandoned assignments at the back of my mind. I know they have to get done eventually but...why now? :p Come to think of it, can't even write in my journal anymore. And when was the last time I actually wrote a letter? Used to love writing long, long letters. Still do but do not seem to have the patience these days. Perhaps when I get back to ol snoozeville (Victoria, BC) I will be forced into being patient. That'll teach me...

So now that it's February ALREADY, time to think of...what's next. What happened to my plans of getting a working holiday visa for the UK? What about volunteering at a nunnery in Tibet? Are they do-able plans? People keep saying to do all the things you have always wanted to do, while you're still young and have the time. Hmm...but I'm almost sick of the poor, starving student lifestyle. Need to make me some money and buy stuff. For starters, a car would be nice!

I don't know. There is neither enough time nor money to do all the things I've always wanted to. So the that leaves us with a trade off. How the heck would I know if a trip to India would be as valuable as a trip to the UK? How does one choose? There is just too much to do out there. Guess it is precisely these kinds of decisions that seperate a person's life from another.

There's also the issue of getting to that age where people would wonder about why you do not have any work experience yet. Ahh si...what's a girl to do?

To work, or go travel...now that is the REAL question.
