The Earth According to Mark.

Has anybody seen my wings? I'm always losing the damn things.

Today I was walking to The Coffee Bean and some guy said - whilst talking to a friend - "Don't swear on your life until you've seen it with your own eyes." Damn. Fifteen minutes later I run into my friend Stephanie. She use to live in the dorms - literally my next door neighbor. We did a song together during the summer after first year, and she ended up going to UCLA. I found out she just got back from organic farming in Oregon, and she's pursuing law school (environmental law). So we hang out for a little bit, and she says something so strange to me: "You should do what you want now because you won't get the chance again." Damn.

I am trying to find a job right now. It's a saturated market of graduates. It's hard. Most people don't know this. They're usually too ignorant to know. And even though graduating a bio-major is an accomplishment within itself (most people drop and become psych majors), finding a job is another step. But during the downtime, waiting for replies, organizing resumes, etc., it's fair to say that I'm planning on setting just one week aside where I go on a tour. A real tour. No plans on where, but it's going to happen. I just need to book venues. One week. That's all I need.

Pieces.

Comments:
Don't say that people are ignorant and then act pretentious.

Just because you're a bio major doesn't mean that you're in anyway guaranteed to get a job any faster than a Psych major, or whoever dropped out of bio. Being in Psych isn't a sign of "giving up," it's a sign of different interests.

Besides, why would you want all those Psych majors to be more competition in the Bio department (if they chose to stay)?
 
I think what I said was taken out of context.
