The title says it all. I really have no idea what I am doing with my life right now. I have been skating by on the sheer thought that I am in college. That is what I am doing right now. But what about later. Later is becoming sooner. Sooner than I have expected. There is so much to do and I just want to get started. I have recently been overwhelmed with a desire to move on.
