I feel stifled by this town, this state, this life. A fresh start is all I craze. New job, new school, new friends, new location, new everything. A new life.

There is too much stimuli in my life... too many souvernirs, too many trinkets, too many thoughts, too many people, too many responsiblities. And each a reminder of a life I don't want to live anymore. Simplification; that's what this is all about.

I've always been taken in by the myth of the Phoenix. Being reborn from its own ahses and all that. Something so poetic, so visceral, so significant.

I need to die to be reborn. In a way, I already have died. Every step I take is another I cannot retread.

I think I arrived a year early for my new life, and now all I can do is wait around and pass the time until it happens to me.

Simplify.

Now you have an idea of what I felt like over Christmas Break....I definitely think a fresh start in an area outside of Michigan would do you good, and by listening to your plans for grad school it sounds like you are on the right track. However, it seems like you are looking at the upcoming last year of being an undergrad with a lot of dread, and you shouldn't. I admit that I want to start my career now and sometimes wish I could skip the last year of school, but try to enjoy this year, because everyone I talk to at my job wishes they could go back and be an undergrad again. You're only young once.

i first thought you were quoting an ani difranco song.

anyways.

Summer internships in other states are a nice way of getting out of michigan and expiriencing a new life. Testing it out in a way. A lot of National and state parks need help around summer time. But i would think other professions would have similar options.

In case you are open to suggestions, that is :)
