n. The low rumbling of distant thunder

Google is amazing. How cool is it that when I'm doing something and have a question, I can quite literally type that question into Google search and get 10,000 answers? And then, there are times I find myself getting out of control.. Today was one of those days...

I typed in "What to do with my life post-college graduation"

Not kidding. I'm asking a search engine to help me find direction in my life..

I get tons of responses back with "finding the right job" and "winning the interview" but that was not what I was looking for. Justin, has recently decided to remain at MSOE for an extra year to complete his Master's right away. Which suddenly reminds me that I will be graduating in a year and will have to figure out something to do with my life. This year difference that is now in place between our graduation dates makes me think, "Self, this is a wonderful opportunity to go experience something." The time span of a year seems to perfect, too planned, like God said "Let there be a year for Kayla to go do something," and so, I search. Or rather Google search.

I've considered many of the "traditional" non-traditional things to do post-graduation such as backpacking through Europe, Peace Corps, go live in the middle of Canada by myself foresaking all belongings. But none of these seem right. First of all, I have no money, so anything that requires much money is pretty much off the table. I don't necessarily feel the need to make money in my year of adventure, but making enough to pay for living would be a plus. And the idea of traveling alone has never appealed to me. I'm not nearly confident enough to pull something like that off. So what does that leave me with? Well, not much. So the search continues.. input always welcome from you, my hordes of readers.. ;)

That's me, backpacking through Panama. Maybe... :)

Always,
