As for everything else… it’s pretty much the same as always.  I’m still in oklahoma, trying to make the best out of a stupid situation.  Erin’s up here still, but now has a job, although it doesn’t require her degree.  I feel like things will improve soon, but I guess there’s no way to know.

You know, it’s amazing… hardly anyone I know is actually doing what they thought/hoped they’d be doing after college.  I think that’s one of the biggest misconceptions/lies about how to achieve your goals—you feel like if you can make it through college—the tests, studying, expense, etc—it’ll all be worth it because in the end you’ll have a job you love and you’ll be rich and everything will be good for you.  Well, I guess like everything else a college education is no guarantee.  I’m one of the lucky ones out there.  Of course now everyone (myself included) is kind of at square one, trying to decide how in the heck we’re going to do the things we dreamed of doing when we were kids.  When we were in school, we at least had a direction (get through school!).  Now there’s too many directions and everyone either doesn’t know which to choose, is too afraid to choose, or chose and is just crossing their fingers and hoping it somehow all works out in the end.  It’d better work out in the end.
