zeal rising

well quite the (final) semester. All sorts of interesting classes: anatomy via dance, cooking (science), consumer culture studies, "Japan through its literature," and a seminar on modern russia.

Met lots of new people, did a lot of new things (especially school-related activities: dinner with Pres. Sexton, lots of varsity games, cultural night events, etc.; also, delved into Jewish culture via a new friend), and decided I was done with school (for now).

This lat bit (leaving school) came about as "the logical next step" culmination of my semi-intense life experimentation, which really took off around the new year '08 (basically right before this blog was started).

I'm home for the holidays, and then perhaps off to Oregon (where I hope to find more like-minded people in a less consumerist, more natural environment).

However, once my decision to leave school was made, the possibilities for my future keep opening up (aside from student loans...DUN Dun dun). Now I'm toying with the idea of returning to my childhood home, sunny Californ-i-a; 'cept probably the (other) southern part.

to adventurous days ahead, full of vim and joy...

Cheers,
