thoughts from a gay college student

busy

I haven't written for a while. This is the part of writing
a journal that I usually fail at. That is I cannot keep up
with it. Well I don't know that I have that much to write
about anyway. I have been writing a paper and doing a lot
of drawing. Me the aspiring academic, I even have a paper
to write while I am on summer break. Actually I am writing
two. Ok I know that must make me sound like a huge nerd.
Really one is because I am a huge procrastinator, and the
other is my attempt to not procrastinate on a research
project that I have to do this year. Right now I am
supposed to be editing one of those papers, but I am
writing here instead.

Lets see, there must be something new in my life... Nope,
not really. I went to lunch the other day with a good
friend of mine and my roommate from my freshman year at
college. He is working a few hours away this summer, but
drove up and dropped in.

Oh I guess the most exciting thing that has happened this
summer is that I might move to South Carolina after
graduation. I think I might go to graduate school there.
This prof I know might have a really cool project for me to
work on. I don't really tell that many people that I want
to get my PhD, because most people can only think of a
reason not to do it. "it takes too long" , "think of all
the money you won't be making" I don't think that many
people can appreciate why I want to do it. Its not about
money, its about being able to do something I love for a
job. That shouldn't be such a bad thing.

Ok, back to work
