At which point I will be in Greece. Enjoying all sorts of things. Culture, ruins, history...
I am so stoked about my trip. I am done work in 16 days, then I'm off! With two amazing friends and a group of about 30 probably amazing people. I don't know. I can't be sure. But I assume.
Also, I'm trying not to look too far ahead. I mean, I need to plan. Cause I've got a life to live when I get back, but at the same time, it's a hard to thing to do. It's almost two months away.
When I do bring this up around people, they all start clambering on the "Let's Get Carrie a Job" Train. Which I more than appreciate, don't get me wrong! However, it's a bit alarming. I start wondering, would I want that job? Would I enjoy it there? Is that even something I'd want to do in the mean time?
My ultimate plan is to be freelance writing full time out of my home. But until then I need to eat and live and things. And there is a reason I am not going back to my current job after I get back from my trip, as much as they want me. I want something I can call rewarding, fun, worth it. I want somewhere that helps other people and cares about things like the Earth. Something that I am proud to be a part of.
Or lounge singing. I'd love to be a lounge singer.
Well, I may not have a job, and I may no longer have a vehicle (a story for another day) but it's my birthday a month from today. And that's what matters.
Have I ever told you how much I hate deciding what to do with my life?
I hate deciding what to do with my life too. Let's call a summit and instead of making any decisions, let's just drink a lot and watch Doctor Who.
ReplyDeleteWhat an exciting time to be you Carrie! Terrifying, as well, I know, I'm almost there. In another year I'll have two degrees and be thinking, what now.
ReplyDeleteMy suggestion is try not to make looking for a job/career a chore. Because when I make things chores, like something on a to do list, I never do it. Kind of like how I haven't gotten my Quebec health care card yet. You know why, because it's on a list and has been for months. Make it something fun. Keep journalling about it. Or make it fun project, like make a binder with tabs and print off possible ideas. Well that's my idea of fun. but I'm a dork. Make a big chalk board or bulletin board just for job ideas. Make a big title called "the land of possibilities". I dunno, just jamming here. But the point is. This should be fun. :)
Love you. btw I'll be in Alberta on June 7. so I'll miss your birthday but we can celebrate retroactively.
I saw an accordion at an estate auction today and thought of you. You're fabulous, btw. Just thought I'd remind you. Now go write it on a post-it note and put it on your bathroom mirror, cuz that's what I would do if I was there. :) Love Erinn
