Life.
So, I have absolutely no idea what I’m going to do with myself for the rest of my life! I have this amazing opportunity to go to graduate school, which for a long time, I thought was my dream. I though I wanted to become a professor, though… in the last 6-7 months I believe I have discovered that it will not be at all as I have imagined it. Do I want to commit myself to two years of graduate school for a degree that offers no promises, and frankly provides few opportunities beyond getting my Ph.D.
Do I want to leave my friends and give up two years with my family for something I’m not 100% sure about?
Since I’ve moved to New Orleans, I’ve simply fallen in love with this city. I love my parents excitement over their memories, the lives they had here. I love its proximity to them and I love the people here. I am not sure I can imagine living anywhere else. I have been looking for jobs, though rather unsuccessfully (I’ve only had one interview that I’m still waiting to hear back from), and I have been seeking the advice of gurus in the fields that I am interested in (advertising and Architecture). While they may seem a little different, I’m interested in design, in a much more hands-on work environment. I was able to visit an architecture firm, and I simply fell in love. I could REALLY see myself there, see myself doing that. You know? So I looked into perhaps getting my masters in Architecture, rather than history. Since then, I’ve interviewed at a boutique advertising agency. If I got the job, not only could I stay here, I would get some legitimate hands-on experience in the advertising world and with design.
As a last resort, I have been looking for paralegal jobs. Since, after all… my dad was very pro-paralegal. Well, when I mentioned to him that I was thinking about staying in the city after all and finding a job, he freaked! Yes, I understand that Seattle has invested a lot in me, but should I really let THAT sway my decision in staying or going?
What am I going to do with myself?

So, I suppose naturally I’m beginning to have some reservations about moving across the country and leaving everything/everyone behind. I have begun an intense job hunt. I’m calling, I’m e-mailing. I’m submitting resumes. I feel like it would have to be a pretty kick-ass job to keep me in Louisiana, especially when I have such a lovely offer waiting for me in Seattle. Wouldn’t it be nice though, to stick around?

Scholarships and Fellowships!
Today, I got an e-mail from UW saying sorry for the delay and that said, a letter about my fellowship and scholarship information would be sent to me by e-mail on Monday! The e-mail also said that they hope that their offer of scholarship would make it possible for me to attend in the fall.
Um… SO WOULD I!?
I’m so excited!
