Journal Entry #  4   Date:  November 27, 2002 
Entry Title:  Life Decisions
Hmmm, what to do.  Tomorrow is Thanksgiving.  Most of the students have already gone home, so I practically have the dorm to myself.  I am kind of enjoying the quiet, yet kind of bored too.  I will probably catch a bus home tomorrow morning, or whenever I can get my stuff packed.  I get to look forward to days of torture with my relatives, but I don't really have a choice in the matter.  My parents wanted me to come home today, but I think it's good to have this evening to contemplate.  My dad is asking with more frequency now what my plans are for next semester.  I really have to think about what I want to do so I can be fully prepared to defend it when my parents tell me that whatever I have chosen is obviously dumb. 

Tonight I need to think about what matters to me, what makes me happy, and how I need to go about achieving my goals.  No easy task for one evening, but whether I sit for one evening or fifty, it won't help to think with anymore clarity.  I need to put aside my fears and just make a decision and follow through with it.  So with that siad, this is going to have to be a short entry while I go do my thinking, and another day I will write of the results.
