When you become complacent, it is time to do something drastic.
I want to be so busy I forget about the warm nest of apathy I like to retreat into when I feel like things have gotten too heavy. Working for The Fine Print, a progressive monthly magazine making its debut in Gainesville in September, has been my first step. Right now, I am busy creating flyers. I should actually probably get busier on that, but I work best under deadline. I also put in an app at The Alligator for a production job. I was told they needed people and I do have a little experience, but I haven't gotten that phone call yet. I think I might go by later this week. I really want the job. Not only would it look great on my resume, but I feel like I could really learn a lot.
I'm also holding onto the idea of going to Japan for a year after a I graduate to teach English. This involves applying to the JET programme. I need to devote more time to Japanese. I lost my study partner though, due to a change in majors, but hopefully this won't hurt my motivation. I want to get really involved with the Japanese Club as well.
I want someone to give me the opportunity to better myself.
I want to be so busy that if I decide to make that drastic decision, I won't have time to dwell on its consequences.

Consider this: when will you have the opportunity to go to Japan when you are old and complacent? Do it while you are young and rootless. The older you get, the harder it is to change.
I myself am still considering the opportunity when i graduate. My parents lived abroad for 5 years and so could I.
I left my cell at your house. I hope you read this. Can I pick it up?
