Life's Complexities

This week has been a good reminder of the complexities of life. Everything is a balancing act and my equilibrium is continually shifting. When you're in school it is so easy to sort things into categories: this class, that class, this extracurricular, that party. The challenge is figuring out how to mesh it all together when you're no longer on a four-year graduation plan.

I am moving forward with Peace Corps. But I also got great news about my work project this week. And there may be opportunities to do international work at my office relatively soon. Plus I really like the community I have built up in DC. I guess what is behind the desire to join Peace Corps is the desire to make a difference in communities in West Africa, plus my desire to learn more about that part of the world. So I guess the moral of the story, for now, is there are many paths to the same destination. I just gotta keep balancing them all a little longer and see what works out for me.
