planning...

So for as long as I can remember I've been writing down song lyrics that I hear that relate to whatever I'm going through at the time.  For the last few years I have been jotting them down in my planner because I use that at school and my ipod is glued to my head at school.  The other day I was listening to Regina Spektor's On the Radio for the 10 millionth time and the line "you try until you can't" hit me.  I wrote it down on the calendar and realized that this is my motto for life.  Life is not about giving up.  It's not about voluntary failure.  You try until you can't try anymore and then you can say that at least you tried. 

Lately I've been feeling that urge to just throw in the towel.  It's normal for this time of year I think.  School is winding down and getting hard and BORING and since I am not sure I want to do anything with my future degree, it's really feeling like a waste of time.  But I KNOW I have to finish.  I know it won't be a waste of time and hopefully somewhere along the road to the end I will figure out what I want to be when I grow up :)  and if I don't, I will just try to figure it out, until I can't.  However long that takes...

Love and Regina Spektor stuff :)

p.s.  I'm opening up the polls to find out the next place I should live.  I graduate in 8 months and basically the world is at my feet!  Leave a comment with your opinion of where I should move next!  Please keep in mind that I HATE all things freezing cold and super rainy and windy (I'm a weather snob) so Antartica, Alaska, and most parts of Canada will not be viewed as reasonable options :)
