Eureka!

(Did anyone else watch those science videos in high school?)

Anyways, the reason for the shout of joy is that I finally feel like I'm coming out of the funk I've been in for the past little while, at least in terms of school/life anxiety. Most people that I've had a serious conversation/communication with of late have heard about my uncertainies with my program, life, career, future path, etc.

I've been questioning all sorts of things, including what's important to me/what makes me happy, and I've been losing faith in my ability to make good decisions, or at least ones that I can be satisfied with.

But finally, I've been re-inspired. I've re-discovered what I'm interested in, what I'm passionate about. And I'm starting to accept that there is no clear job/career path out of all this. I'm beginning to see how all my disparate interests may have a way of coming together, and it's very exciting. I just need to study what moves me and have faith that all the pieces of the puzzle will fit in as appropriate when the time is right.

Sure, I still have no answer to the question, "What are you doing next year?" or "Where are you going to be?" but as a good friend has told me (with the help of Picasso): "If you know exactly what you are going to do, what's the good of doing it? It's much better to do something else."

Of course, job/career tips are still always appreciated, as are opinions on geographic location. :)
