Livejournal Virgin?
Wow. It's good to know that there are still some new experiences in life. This is my first Livejournal entry. (cherry pops and juice runs down my leg) My apologies for the visual! I chose to start a livejournal because my old friendster blog has been extremely troublesome. Their system is constantly spazing out on me. In addition, the formatting on cut-n-paste pieces are often bizarre. So let's see how this goes?!
This is a mental sounding board; sort of a low cost psychiatrist, if you will. I can be a bit of whiner, but I think my concerns are warranted. Lately things are have been slightly off kilter for me. I graduated from college all set to enter the Peace Corp, move to the Philippines and save the world, but when I got there I was crushed by the weight of being hundreds of thousands of miles away from home. It was as though something had died inside me; I no longer had a sense, fundamentally, of who I was. Living in a society where gender roles are so rigidly prescribed was a frightening experience.
So I quit after being overseas for a month. The relief I felt when my plane hit the ground landing me back in US was indescribable. Despite my relief in returning to my everyday life, there were several small bumps in my attempts to acclimate myself. Life just isn’t what I expected it to be post-graduation. I feel a little lost, in all honesty. I guess it’s normal to be a little disillusioned after you graduate. Is it pitiful to say that my life is less fulfilled without school?
So now onto the next stage…
