“I is excited”

Ignore the horrible grammar in the title, believe me I know that it should be “I am excited.”  But “I is excited.”  I feel like I am excitement personified.  I’ve been worrying a lot lately about what is going to happen after I graduate, and going straight into grad school was less than exciting.  I’ve been playing with the idea of work, part time student, full time chem student… it all seemed so meaningless to me.  What is the point?  I’m just wasting time till I figure out exactly what I what out of life.  And I was remembering a conversation with Aaron about volunteering, not even what was said but just thinking about the concept of it.  In short I’m seriously researching the Peace Corps.  I would be able to complete a life goal of mine, I want to live in another country to experience the culture in its purest form.  I would also have time to figure out what I want in life while helping people.  Then I wouldn’t see it as wasted time, because we only live so long and I want to have people say “damn she really did live life to its fullest.”  The Peace Corps also have health care, which is a huge concern for me.  I would get teaching experience, which is what I want to do at some point and time in my life.  And it might also give me the edge I need to get into my dream grad school.  (If I told you, you would just laugh at me, but it is Yale… I’m really am shooting for the stars.)
