A Time of Transition

December 9, 2002

I am free. The LSAT is behind me and no one is looking to hire anyone until the first of the year. My Uncle Ted is in California until the 17th and my Uncle Mike is working on a big trial this week. I have absolutely no obligations for the next two weeks, which happens to be wonderful timing.

Over the last few months I have been living here in New York, trying to find a job in web design and enjoying the fruits of the city (both literally and metaphorically). It has certainly been fun, but also a disappointment. I thought that I would have found a job by now, but it seems I am either under-qualified, over-qualified or not needed. Occasionally I am an odd combination of the three. It has made me question whether web design is a career I really wish to pursue. I am pasisonate about design but I don't know if I have the goods to have a productive career. I also don't know that I want to sit in front of a computer for the rest of my life.

The months following college have been ridiculously uneventful. They were actually a lot like college, except without the few hours of homework I would do a week. I'm officially bored now, but I just don't know what to do. Should I go back to school? If so, for what? Do I succumb to pressures and just go into "business?" Do I just say "fuck it all" and go be a ski bum for the next few months? I truly don't know.

I know my life plan doesn't have to be decided right now, but I need to have some semblance of a plan. All I have decided is that at some point I want to teach.

This is the part where I should have some insightful statement to end this entry, but the whole point is that I am totally confused. So I'm leaving it with an open ending. If you want to figure out my life for me, leave a comment.
