EUTCo Ball
So yeah. The EUTCo ball was absolutely wonderful. Many, many brilliant people there... It was an evening spent in what was probably the best company of any evening I've had all year (although Jon Nash, Roisin, and Ollie Laundy were all notably absent, unfortunately). It may have been the last time I'll see some of the friends I've met this year, which is disconcerting...
Whatever I do immediately following graduation, I don't think I want to start on my own again. I would prefer not to put myself in another position where I have zero contacts, no friends. Of course, I now have friends in the south, in England, in New York, and there's going to be a veritable diaspora of my peers after graduation... I'm starting to realize that this fact may not be all bad. Before, I was always bemoaning the fact that many of my friends will be scattered to the four corners of the country (or the world!) once we graduate. Now, I'm realizing that this just means that there'll be a whole host of locations in which I could potentially find myself that would put me close to friends I've made.
Who knows? Jordan might end up on the west coast-- maybe I could move to LA for a while! Be closer to the heart of the videogame industry, if I decide to pursue journalism in that field-- or, hell, I could even give voice acting a shot. Maybe I'll find myself in New York, within easy reach of my sister in time for her senior year! Maybe there'll be an opportunity for me in London, or I'll get pulled back to Stratford for some reason... I could even find myself in Georgia, with David and... David. Although who knows if they'll still be there in a year and a half...?
I think that I would like to avoid placing myself in a situation where I'm not near anyone (unless I go immediately to grad school, in which case I would be with lots of people my age and making new friends among my peers would not be particularly difficult).
Ugh, I should have been running errands all so far today, and I've just been playing Phoenix Wright. I'm a bad student (that Kenyon essay is still not completed, but coffee with Wendy and David yesterday confirmed that the absolute, final deadline is not actually until July 15th).
Okay, well, I've sort of lost my train of thought. Looking at hotels for David and I to stay in tomorrow night... Maybe I actually oughtta get off my ass and do some of these things that I have on my list. Later!
