Wondering and Wandering I graduated. Now what? Do I live the life I never wanted to live? The one where I move to the city, get a job in a corporate cubicle, and slave away 60 hours a week for $40,000 a year? No thanks. How about 5 years down the road when I settle on a girl I don't truly love, buy the car I don't need, have the marriage that won't last, buy the home I can't afford? No thanks. I want to see things, I want to experience life in every way. This is the only life I've got, I might as well make the most of it and do something I won't foget. So here I am, travelling the world one step at a time. Where I'm going is yet to be decided, how long I'm there is up in the air, but one thing's for sure. Whatever I do, where ever I go, I'm going to be living. You can count on that.

pray to whatever god you choose

So in the past week I've had 4 chances for work as an aupair, today I've had two. Let's all hope one of them work out. You may be wondering why I've chosen the aupair route. It's the only job that I can get by posting online, and, you don't have to have a stupid work permit. Now for updates, it's been raining here, a lot. I've been eating well and Marion supplies me with the finest wine. Can't really complain but I'm starting to get itchy feet. As soon as something turns up I will let you know. I've realized that no matter how many times you say to yourself that money doesn't matter, when it's put in front of you, you usually won't turn it away. You have to have money to travel, lesson from the learned. I miss my friends, my family, and women my age, but I don't miss normalcy, being comfortable, stability, or routine. I think this travelling thing really suits me. I may never come back, you'll just have to come see me.

Money is the necessary root (route?) of all _____ (fill in with word of your choice).

There are numerous meds for itchy feet - try letting your shoes dry out (being purposefully obtuse).

Marion rocks! Jealous about fresh trout you had today. More pralines will come her way soon.

XOXOXOXOXO

It has been raining here as well. Thank the Lord. AR is still one of my favorite places to visit.
Sounds like I will have to keep my passport in order just to see you. Oh well I have always liked to travel as well.
Ms. Deanie said to say hello for her. She is one of your faithful blog readers you know.
I go home tomorrow, will likely sleep for a week.
I love you Grandson, my prayers are always with you.

I only have two more finals, and I can only imagine how insanely jealous you are of me, I know how much you miss finals week. :) I'll keep my schedule open for visiting. I'll let you know about Prague as soon as I start figuring it all out.
PS. I'm about ready for another batch of photos. Heed me. Love you.

My jealousy has yet to wane each time I read your blog. Maybe I'll just copy you when I graduate and go from au pair job to au pair job for a few years. Hell, maybe I'll just drop out and do it now. Beats the hell out of school... Thank christ finals are over.
