Back to the whining

[firemyst]

I thought I was doing better, and then today I had a huge downswing. It's probably the stress from the move (just to a nicer house in the same neighborhood for anyone who doesn't know yet) and the fact that I think all the dust has gotten me sick, but I started freaking out about everything all over again. Do I really have any idea what I want to

Aw, Kitty, this is such a hard place in life to be! You'll figure it out, I know you will.

And to put in my 2c - remember, you don't have to do it all at once. If you really want to act, you could do it now and go to grad school later. If you want to do grad school first, you could still go into acting later. Or there are plenty of places you could act as a secondary to your primary schooling/career.

But the point is, no matter what you do, if you decide you don't like it you can always quit and do something else. Nothing you do right now will determine the course of the rest of your life.

And if you ever need to talk and want someone on the other end of the phone to talk or to just make reassuring noises at you, you have my phone number <3

One of the things I've noticed working with other archaeology grad students is that I'm freaking young. Like, really freaking young. As in most people tend to go do something else for a while, decide they don't like it, and then somehow (sometimes through a very circuitous route) find their way back to school. So while you may need to pick one or the other to focus on for now, that doesn't mean you won't be able to have done both by the end. There's plenty of time.
And as far as the worrying not doing any good but you doing it anyway, knock it off. You're sounding like me, and it's really creepy :-P

Just remember, none of the decisions you make right now are permanent ones. There will be time to change your mind, change your direction, and keep moving forward, and I have a lot of faith that you'll look back on your life someday and be happy.

Seriously, though? Don't forget to schedule in time for yourself, if that's how you need to do it. You are important and deserve time off. Write it on the calendar if you have to, but do it. Don't neglect yourself.
