Gack!

What would James Bond do?

OK - so not to harp on the eyeball issue, but it's irritating the living crap out of me. It's getting WORSE. I don't know how long to wait before I cave in & go see the eyeball doctor (excuse me - the vitreoretinal surgeon). The thing is - as I've been told time & again, along with every piece of information I've read - they are just going to send me home & tell me to wait it out. Suck it up you big baby! You'll be fine! Quit your whining and grow up.

Growl.

I've done NOTHING for school for 3 days. Oh, wait. I did read my Crim Law. Aside from that. nothing. And it's 3:30 on Sunday. I just have zero desire to do anything right now. I'm getting so excited about quitting work. I dread having to go to St. Louis this week. I really don't want to go. I want to stay home & maybe have those days off to work on my paper. I really think that it is work along with all the other stressors that I've added over the past month that contributed to my eyeball issue. I keep reminding myself that I'm going to be leaving really shortly - at the end of this week is a payday and after that I only have ONE pay-period left at Farmers Insurance Group. Then I'm DONE.

So many people ask me how I can just up & leave my job, then take off around the world. I want to ask them how can you NOT? Given this opportunity, would you shy away and not do it? I'm always going to have student loan debt - whether I do this or not. I'm certain that clerking for the United Nations won't exactly HURT my resume - presumably it might even help a wee bit. How could you NOT take the chance that you mind find what it is that you're looking for out there - if you were in my shoes, you know you would. I've earned it. This is mine. Maybe I'll be tired, or lonely, or scared. But it's all overshadowed by the wonder, the excitement, the experience. What else is there? To have lived and tried, or to die and never go?
