Finally!!!

I'm headed to the DESERT!!! I'm finally going to Moab!! This summer is here to be what I always dreamed being in Jackson was all about!!! I'm first headed to Moab with Julia, we're going to meet up with her friends and then we're headed to the maze. It's going to be backpacking for about a week, and I'm sooooo psyched!! I also plan to make some crazy fun biking trips, and hiking trips.

As far as personal life; I'm working for a bike shop here in Jackson this summer, Fitgerald's Bicycles. I'm feeling 100% confident about leaving the production company I was with. It was by far the best decision I hade made in a while, maybe not quite as good as moving out of Nebraska, but I think you get the idea. Future plans are still a bit up in the air. I still want to go to grad school, and I still want to live in South America or Spain. I don't want to work in production, and generally find myself unsure with what exactly I want to spend my future doing to earn money. For now I want to explore as much as I can of the outdoors. I want to ride my bike for as much as my ass can take. I may even pursue my dream of a cross country trek. I still have dreams of travelling through Europe, but I need to wait for either their economy to start doing less well, ours doing better, or come into some money.

I've also found myself in a precarious financial situation. I've acquired quite a few medical bills due to my latest broken scaphoid. A scary state I must admit.

The grad program I'm thinking about is still Clinical Psych. but I'm finding myself not quite so motivated towards this goal. I do wonder if my level of interest is due more to a current state or mood, or if in fact I really feel that this program is not perfect for me. Rather than stress myself out in trying to force what may not be a perfect fit, I've instead decided to let life happen. Just do things as they come along, remain open to new ideas and maintain awareness of what I'm feeling so as to not miss opportunties as they come along.
