New Directions

Life is life... watching T.V. If you don't like what you're watching then you can always change it.

I have a pretty rough week ahead of me. I have two tests. One Tuesday in Scuba, and one Wednesday in International Relations. I have tons of Comp 1000 work due by Friday. Tonight I get back my test from last Monday. Tuesday I have Greek Convocation. Saturday I have three philanthropy events to attend. And last, but certainly not least (because it's the only thing that I'm actually looking forward to), Kody and I are diving in Vortex Springs, Florida. So yeah... busy week.

I have been thinking a lot lately about law school and all of the things I want to do before I go to law school and I have come to the realization that if I go straight to law school after I graduate then there are so many things I will never be able to do. Once I enter law school I will take on lots of debt to pay for schooling, while I'm there I hope to meet the love of my life, and once I'm out I will have to go straight to work in order to pay off all the debt that I have racked up. Then comes kids and there goes freedom. Not that those steps would be bad, because they wouldn't, but there are so many more things I want to do before I settle into a routine life. Mainly I want to live abroad. 

That brings me to my next point.

A few weeks ago my American Foreign Policy professor mentioned the Peace Corps during one of his classes. I have heard of the Peace Corps before but it was never something I had given a lot of thought to. Well over the past couple of weeks I have not been able to shake this feeling that the Peace Corps is something I need to do with my life. I am going to start the application process as soon as possible and hopefully, if I am chosen, I will be able to start just after I graduate. I'm very excited about this opportunity to live abroad and doing something that can better this world.
