Enjoy The Journey...

As with any destination, the journey is the most important part. I forgot the saying in its exactness, but you know what I mean. I know I am meant to travel, as each journey I've ever embarked on, the introspect gained typically runs parallel to whatever it is I'm experiencing at the moment. Does that make sense? As I navigate the world, I am also navigating my life, that's pretty much what I mean. Ok, disclaimer, I've just had my morning (4:30 p.m.) *smoke* break so pardon me for getting all deep. lol. Trust me, there were some opportune, highly entertaining shallow moments that I took great pleasure in last night. Errrrr.....or this morning? lol. When a pizza goes in the oven and a bottle of wine gets opened at 3:30 a.m. you know it's good times. I have the photos and the video to prove it, although I won't be disgracing my wonderful new friends by posting their drunk videos, the pictures, yes, the videos NO. ha ha.

Soul Suckers.......Land of Cheese......My academic future

Ok, so that's a bit overdramatic, but when have you known me to be otherwise? Whether my words are poetic and kind or bitter and distasteful. My job is sucking my soul dry.

I have had lots to update but much like my moods, my thoughts have been fleeting. I did get a very nice visit to Madison this past weekend. I will always have a place in my heart for good ole' Wisco. I got to hang out on a farm with K and help (sort of) put a hay shed together. I got to build a raging bonfire. And I met some really cool people. We didn't really DO much, but it was the not doing anything that I really enjoyed. I can't wait to see it when the city is in full bloom! Oh the glories. Then I took a short jaunt up to my Aunt Kathy's house and got to meet two of my cousins that I hadn't seen since they were babies. I definitely have to make this a more frequent habit. For several reasons. Anyway...here's some pics of good ole Wisco.






I bought two more books recently, someone please stage an intervention. Is there a 12 step program for book addicts? I'm serious.

I'm feeling anxious, scared, excited, happy, bewildered and befuddled by my future. I started to get in contact with my professors from DePaul to write me recommendation letters for graduate school. I'm terrified with delight. So yea, I am having trouble focusing on a topic, trying to merge all or several of them into one. Here's my train of thought:

ESL (English as Second Language), culture and media studies, linguistics, Latin American Studies, liberation studies, and education) And the concepts or thoughts or ideas I want to produce out of my studies are paradigm shifts, causality, and liberation. he he. I don't ask for much do I?
