The Space Between
This is my month off before I start work in the real world, and today was the first day that I really had nothing to do.
I’m starting work in early January, and I have this month off to hang out in the Bay Area for another week and then go home to Seattle for Christmas. I think a month off is plenty. I like school, and I like work, so I can stand quite a bit of both of those things. A month off to spend with friends and family is good too.
People I talk to seem to incorporate a 3-6 month stretch of planned unemployment after college even when they know what they’ll be doing. I’m just not like that. I’m still taking 2 or 3 classes next quarter and not quite working full time, so I’ve been telling people that I’m taking “negative 3 months off” between school and work. It’ll be a gradual transition.
But for now, it’s the Tiger Woods 2005, the Tivo, the exercising, and the posting on the internet. And some Christmas shopping.
