I realize that maybe it's time to grow up. Well, at least a little. I have tired just a bit at my nomadic lifestyle, sharing rooms, and packing up and leaving every 5 months to move on to a different place, a different experience. Not that the things I've done in the past have been in regret, I just need a more permanent lifestyle. I'm well into adulthood and I no longer want to live in a place where there are community bathrooms or you have to drive 6 miles to the closest shower (yeah, Alaska park offered me a job...I just can't do that everyday!). I would like to buy some stuff, move, make some friends, and stay awhile. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten any opportunities to try it. I realize there are a lot of people in this unemployment boat right now. Any job offer that I get, I am very grateful for. The catch? There is a job, in a place I love, with lots of friends, but a job that's going to be sort-of difficult for me to do. And it's only for 5 months. I just wonder if I am prolonging the inevitable? Should I focus on my "settling in one place" plan or should I go have one more fun summer? One moment I think I know the answer, the next second I talk myself out of it. And I thought I would have it all (okay, not all, but at least the job part!) figured out by now. Argh.

You could have a permanent job you hate and a stable lifestyle.
You could have a seasonal job you love and a nomadic lifestyle.
You could have an easy job that doesn't challenge you; you won't grow.
You could have a sort-of difficult job that challenges you; you will grow.
According to the difficulty is the reward, and this summer will be rewarding!
so true...thanks Jeffrey! I'm pretty sure that I made the right decision. And I get to see you soon! Win win!
