Okay, I'm at the library and i intend to finish my chemistry lab report and write up the prelab for tomorrow's lab. I have been chronically procrastinating for the past two weeks. I have been paralyzed by the decision of what to do with my life. I will finish my Bachelor of Science degree in a few months and don't know what I'll do. I haven't found a job and honestly I'm not very optimistic that i will find one, one that will pay enough for me to live on in current state of the economy. The only other option unless i want to work at Walmart for the rest of my life is to join the military, attend officer school, and start out as a lieutenant. The pay is comparable to what I could expect to get in a civilian job with my lack of work experience and I the military will pay for me to go back to college and get another degree. So I'm thinking that after four years of military service as an officer and a masters or medical degree will better prepare me for the future. Another plus is that i will probably get stationed outside of North Carolina. I'm getting tired of all the visible poverty, the crowdedness, and the hard scrabble life of the east cost. I think I should find my fortune out west where there's more space less people. Fewer rude, lazy, and ignorant masses living on welfare. I'm tired of all the low income housing developments, all the drugs, all the shooting, and other random stupid shit perpetrated by those with no future other than a work-release program. I'd to think that in places like Texas would be a lot nicer in terms of the people and the economic conditions those people allow themselves to live in. I like to think Texas is more of a get-up-and-do kinda place instead of a place where the majority live in crowded rundown neighborhood in poverty. In Texas people work hard and don't loiter around on front porches doing drugs and drinking malt liqueur.
Oh well, time to get to work. I will take out my lab notebook and bring up the powerpoint slides for the lab and start working.
After i go to the bathroom.
