A New Box of Q-Tips

Today I bought a box of 750 q-tips. That got me to thinking - 750 Q-tips is 2+years.

Will I remember when I bought this box when it comes time to throw it away? I went to Venice with Sara, Ariela and Rachel today - then Sara, Ariela and I went to Target. It was great to be with my LADD Angels. But, I don't remember when I bought the last box and I think that only had 500 in it.

In any case - 2 years. What could happen in the next 2 years. Lets think back two years. Labor Day weekend 2004. I dont remember anything in particular about it. But, the circumstances - I had just started as a JCSC, school was a week or two into the semester at CSUN. I was struggling with adjusting to a new setting. I didn't know what I was doing, but I felt like I had a good model and help from those around me.


WAIT A MINUTE - that sounds like, well, a lot like what I'm going through right now. But how did I get here?

If you had told me two years ago that I would be doing now what I am doing -
that I would be in two masters programs; that I would be trailblazing a potential new dual program; that I would be a USC student; that I would be an HUC student; that theatre wouldnt be my career; that I would be missing Hillel this much; that I would be going to school because I want to work for Hillel; etc. etc. and so forth - I'm sure that I would never have believed you.

Life was clear - I was working for Hillel for a year and then going back into the theatre world. Duh.

So, what will happen in the next two years? What is known? I should be done with my masters degrees. and... well... other than that, I don't know.

My life seems to be in two year segments these days.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see what else this new box of q-tips will bring.
