Against the Grain

The Banff mountain film festival was this weekend.  It was pretty awesome.  They show the kind of films that make you so envious of the people in them (most of the time).  After finishing up the last night tonight I realized that I would be perfectly happy climbing rocks and racing mountain bikes for the rest of my life.  

I mean, why should I have to go sit in a cubicle for the majority of my 20's and 30's?  As I think about it more and more, I wonder if I can just throw my degree out the window and just adventure everywhere.  It would be nice to contract durring the Winter and Spring then just kick back and have fun for the Summer and Fall.

I wouldn't necessarily be throwing away all of the money that was spent on college.  If you could buy friends then I would consider the friends I've made here worth much more than all of my tuition at RIT.

amirite?

Nights are the worst

I'm the kind of person who would choose where to live before choosing where to work.  The problem with this is that all of the places I want to live don't have a lot of entry level jobs available.

Careerbuilder and Monster are decent at finding these kind of jobs, but most of the time they end up being helpdesk positions.  Am I wrong in considering myself above those positions?

RIT's jobzone search is great at finding jobs in NY State/Rochester specifically.  I'm more than half tempted to look around here.  But do I really want to watch everyone leave all around me?  And can I really stay here

I'm kind of at a loss for what to do, but I have a week to decide right?

Also, today is Valentines day.  I hope everyone is doing something nice for their significant others right now because this time last year I was dumb and took my relationship for granted.  Even though it won't change anything right now I still regret it it horribly.  Hindsight is 20/20 and sometimes I wish it wasn't because it makes everything I did so obviously wrong.

Happy Valentines Day :\

Arch Drive Goodbye

Its been almost a year and a half since I last posted here.  I am now graduating school and leaving Rochester.  I am also leaving lots of relationships I have formed since my last post.  Its funny how a major event of my life was left completely out of this blog by only a few days.  It would have been nice to have kept posting and kept some kind of record of it but I doubt I will lose any of my memories of that time since a vast majority of them are wonderful.

Where I go from here I do not know.  Time off would seems like the best option to me.  Work leaves me exhausted most days and climbing has left one of my fingers injured and in need of healing.

I hope to make the most of these next 2 weeks in any way I can.

Here I Am

I will be back and updating soon.  Stay tuned.
