Life is so unpredictable sometimes, and I'm learning to love it. Some people like to plan everything out and want to know where they will be in a year or in five. I used to be one of those people, but I am learning that half the fun is in not knowing. I am just going to go where life takes me and enjoy the ride. Last night, I made a last minute decision to apply to Winona State's Counselor Education Program. I love the LAX area so much, that I'm not sure I am ready to leave come May. I just found out that half of my application is due November 15th, yes in about two weeks. I could potentially have an interview the third week in January. Holy. Cow.
Today I also made a decision to temporarily shut down my facebook account. I wouldn't say that I spend as much time on FB as some of my other college friends, however, I do find myself wasting time and being highly unproductive while browsing facebook. I have so many other things to do right now, filling out grad school applications is a job in itself, not to mention all of the other MUCH more interesting and fun things to do around LAX. I figure even if I spend 30 minutes total on facebook each day, that is over 3 hours in a week that I could spend seeing a movie, taking an art class, or just relaxing. It will be interesting to see what happens with communication between me and my friends who live close, who live far, and family members that I keep in touch with. FB has become such an effortless, and, in my opinion, impersonal means of communication at times, that I think it will be refreshing for me to have to pick up the phone to call my sister or my friends in Milwaukee.
I'm a huge Train fan. Here's my song of the week:
