Getting there

I've been spending a lot of time since my recent reentry into the blogosphere thinking about what I want to do with my life, As is evident from my last post. As of yet, no clear conclusions have been reached. For that matter, I doubt I'll ever come to a conclusion. At any rate, there are great things going on in my life but I want to get back some of the things I always enjoyed. These two main aspects are photography and making things.

Photography, not being as far removed as the later of my previous sources of enjoyment, has only been out of my life for about a month now, but I really do miss it. I miss dreaming about what/who I want to bee able to shoot and where. I always end up getting stuck at that dreaming part, tho. I never really go after it. I'm not sure why I always get stuck there. Perhaps it's lack of confidence. I always blame it on lack of resources. Whatever it is, I need to figure out a way to get over it and find people to shoot just for fun.

Now we come to the joy I always get out of making something or constructing something. I don't really know what it is but I've always enjoyed building things, whether it was playing with legos, building tree forts, building our deck, or finishing our basement. Ever since I was a little boy, I've always been building things. That is up until the last year or two. Now one could argue that I'm building things on a metaphorical level like building my education or some silly philosophical idea like that. What I mean, tho, is physically constructing something with my own two hands that I can then step back and be proud of. So, All that being said, I think I'm going to make a chair. It won't be done this week, or this month, but I think I'm going to go for it.

January in Charleston

So I thought I posted once over christmas but I guess I didn't do it right. I figure since a couple people are getting into the blogging thing to stay in touch, maybe I would pick up my game.

It's currently freezing here.. much colder than it's supposed to be in charleston. I think tomorrow night's low is 17 degrees. brrr. I hope all of my friends in other parts of the country and the world are having better weather than we are here.

So as of wednesday I was second guessing myself on my major due to my intense course load/hard courses and the stresses of trying to figure out the rest of my life and all that. I feel like the fact that three out of four of my house mates are done school but have little or no idea what they really want to do worries me and makes me question whether or not I'll be in the same situation come summer 2010... well hopefully summer 2010 and not winter 2011. That's the other issue that's weighing in on my mind is the concept of trying to graduate "on time," which would be spring 2010. That hinges largely on what ends up happening this summer and whether or not I successfully find an internship, which so far isn't looking very promising.

To sum all of that rambling up, I've decided to stay with accounting because I realized after today that I really am interested in my classes. As for the summer, I might just stay in charleston and try to find a part-time internship and also take classes so I can graduate on time. All the while, having a great time with whoever is here!
