What am I doing today?

Not as busy as I have been...

-Arabic class (Drama club postponed)
-Clean house, get groceries, laundry, blah
-Need to get a new inner tube for my rear bike tire (again!)
-Watch Arabic movie from Ahmed
-Find job/apply for summer internships
-FAFSA application
-Figure out life

Shit. I haven't posted for a year. What have I been doing?

Fadil just got his blog started and I realized that I still have an account with Blogger. It was unsettling to read my two earlier posts and think about how much has changed in a year. I feel like pretty much the same person, but a lot of things around me have changed. Right now, I am at my desk in Bloomington, having graduated from college, without a job and wondering what I am going to do with myself. Not that free time has been a bad thing. The most prevalent questions right now are:

-What career path do I pursue in grad school. Do I do complete a public policy degree? Would this type of work be rewarding?
-How do I preserve my independence in the future, e.g. avoid the ennui of working in middle management?
-Where do I take my personal life?

I think I've gone from too little freedom in school to too much freedom. I don't know what do to with it and I wish that I could strike out in some new direction. Grad school is a return to drudgery in a way, even though I like school much better than I used to.
