Pensive

For the last few days, I've been feeling somewhat melancholy and pensive. Much of this comes from the continuing "go back to school / switch careers" part of my brain. I have, as I mentioned, committed to at least one semester more of school. I'm not going back on that resolution now. On the other hand, I still have no plan B. If plan A falls through, I'm going to be right back where I started. And, given that I still hesitate when telling people what area I'm planning on pursuing (accounting), at least part of my brain is still against this change.

I've been doing so much reading lately, all of it non-fiction. Almost all of it social commentary or alternative views of economics. It's so interesting. I recently read a book about micro-credit and micro-finance, and I think I may be changing my traditional charity institution from the Red Cross to the Grameen Foundation, a micro-finance support institution.

But none of this reading is giving me a direction. None of it is making me jump up and down and say, "I want to do that!"
