After about three years of working without vacation time, I finally decided to take some time off. I have made it a quarter of the way through, and my vacation time has not been what I expected. Without being so pre-occupied with work, I have plenty of time to ponder where I am at, and where I want to be. I came to some startling revelations, but I am still pondering what I will be doing about it. Until then, however, nothing changes.
The boredom, on the other hand, has actually been pretty depressing. I remember being able to just call up a friend and go out and do something. Now everyone is understandably busy with their own life. Some even have their own families now to take care of. Being surrounded by older people has actually made me forget how far in life I am, despite only being 23 years old.
Right now, I am thinking that I will just bide my time until I am presented with an opportunity for change. I am also thinking that this train of thought is what most Americans do. Instead of creating an opportunity, they wait for one to fall on their laps. The problem is that I have no guide, or mentor, to help me. I guess that I will just clean the house until I can figure something out.
I have plenty of time to just think.
