Many Paths

Sometimes it is funny how life will throw you a curve ball every once in a blue moon. First I must update that the jam making possess went very well. We made over 50 jars of jam and both kinds taste wonderful. I was going to make some more today but i got kinda jammed out and I wanna wait for a friend of mine to get home so that we can do it together.

Ok curve ball time. So I have been thinking about how I don't really have a direction to my life right now. I wanted to travel and I did that this summer and it opened my eyes to a ton of things but long term I am a bit torn. Yeah sure I want to own a house that I can share with a few of my friends but if I do that I am limited to where I can work and what kind of job I can have (international stuff goes out the window). Sure I want to own a backpacking store but if I do that am I really helping the world around me? With all the problems in the world I feel like I should be helping to fix one of them. It seems that the only thing I know for sure is that my jeep wrangler will be by my side. Thats not to much to be banking on when you only have one more year of college left.

So today I get this e-mail from a college in Michigan that says one of my profs from Adrian has sent in my name to go to this grad school of a masters in leadership with emergency response as the focus. Its a really cool program and it would only take me two years to do but I would have to move out of this are and prob go to DC when I finish the program. So it has a lot of stuff that needs thought around it. Talk about a job that would make you feel like you give back and it would let me travel more.

I think I just need to find a path. Then again...
Not All Who Wander Are Lost

PS..
If I ever go into big business and end up selling car insurance or some bullshit like that please shoot me on the spot.

sm if you ever get into big business i will personally kidnap you and brainwash you back to the good side. You know you can still really help the world even if you own your own store. One.. you can donate money... two you can take vacations and visit your crazy friend Amanda and help her for a bit on whatever hopeless quest she is on at the time. I promise not to lose you to the dark side.. even if you think that we are not friends anymore and you have washed your hands of me watch out for if you go dark I will jump you and before you know what hit you you will be hostage to the light.
