kendra inspired me to write again when I should be studying price-maximization concept of microeconomics, and the "policy window" in management. blah. don't get me wrong. i feel downright grateful to be in school right now. it's challenging and interesting (did i mention oppressive?). but it's not really me. you know that i've known that all along. "public affairs"? i was the girl no one thought would graduate from college, let alone go on to study more!
since september ryan and i have been living the life we've tried to avoid since moving here: no time for grocery-shopping, cooking, cleaning, social lives of any kind, or seeing each other (except over homework at the kitchen table). in response to our woeful tale, we've had differing advice:
"quit!"-- that's what all the kindred spirits say...the ones who also wish they were studying geography, or hiking in the olympics, or baking bread with friends.
"just deal with a wretched life for 2 years. it will be worth it."-- that is what most people over the age of 30 say.
"Wait and see how it goes."-- those are the passive-aggressive, non-committal seattleites who want to be nice, and don't want to be wrong. and, i think that's the advice that i'll follow--at least for now.
but i'm missing camaraderie and little adventures...
what should we do?

Kelsey's homeland is northern Minnesota; Ryan's where there are mountains and forests. But we are exploring ourselves and our world until we find a place where we can be forever.
