Anxiety.
Anxiety is no friend of mine! It send my brain spiraling out of control, my stomach cramps up and turns itself into a dizzy, and I find myself suddenly incredibly restless and unable to CHILL OUT. I suffered from a case of anxiety last night after listening to Sam and Kev talk about the job search and their plans for departing from Athens. It's definitely too soon for me to fret over what I'm going to do with all my stuff or who is going to help me do it but it's not too early to begin thinking about where I want to go...
And I have no idea! There's a bagillion schools out there and hopefully, fingers crossed, there will be a lot of options for where I'll spend the next 3-5 years or more! But it's a big decision and will be the first time probably that I set out for some unknown location to truly fend for myself and try to build a new community. Some might argue I did that for graduate school but knowing I was going to school and would be surrounded by 15 other folks gave me instant comfort for I knew I'd have a support system. The same cannot be said for next year.
So as I press on and the time continue to flies and wind down as I wrap up this graduate school experience in six and a half months, I'm hoping I can tell myself to CHILL OUT and not allow anxiety to keep me from getting a good night's sleep!
Cheers.
