I'll show you the sky

Ok. I'm fairly certain I have a plan (no, a dream) for after I graduate:

1. If I don't go to Israel this summer, I will go to Israel over the summer of 2011
2. If I can, I will continue to work at 3M as much as possible to save up money
3. I will take the GRE or whatever test I need for grad school. I'm so uninformed about these things. I'll probably have taken it already my senior year. Anyway.
4. I will go to Holden Village, probably something like September-February. Maybe longer. Who knows.
5. I don't know what I'll do then. Apply to grad school?
6. Do the Santiago de Compostela May-July

Basically what I'm saying is that I want to do something new, and that I have no real plan. And that I'm dying to go to Holden Village. That's really the main thing I want to do after I graduate. Maybe I'd even stay for a year. Maybe I'd even stay for the rest of my life.

I can't quote anything from the New World Symphony

PLEASE TELL ME IF I HAVE AN INTERNSHIP THIS SUMMER.

I want to plan my escape.

I don't think I mentioned what my 7-year-old cousin Jack said at this year's Super Bowl party. "I'll be right back. I've gotta go do something awesome."

I think the cure for burnout will be making things new again. I've already started with a different kind of shampoo. Well! Halfway done!

Here is a list of things I will do over break (some may look familiar from my Christmas break list)

1. Clean and rearrange my room
2. Put finishing touches on my collage so I can hang it up
3. Make Ukrainian eggs
4. Make clay millefiori beads for decorating things
5. Water my cactus, dang it! (I see it every night before I fall asleep and only remember then, but then I never want to get up to get some water)
6. Walk to Minnehaha (if it doesn't rain one day this week. Geez. Whatevs, I walked today in the rain for a good 2.5 hours)
7. Memorize my lines (that might be ambitious)
8. Get really ahead on biochem
9. Practice guitar
10. Have a bath day

Oh, and I started at 3M today. They're ordering me a lab coat. HOLY COW!

Hurry boy, It's waiting there for you

I know what my problem is now. It's called "burnout," and it's real.

I'm going to try to deal with that now.

First edit: Also, it astonishes me every time I read an INTJ description how accurate that is to me.

Second edit: Also, I think I'm going to listen to "Africa" by Toto about a million times over break.
