Long time, no see (again).

Eyup! Guess who's on her travels again?

The last time I posted was in August 2017 when I went to Canada so it's been a while! I'm not entirely sure how often i'm going to be able to write over the next few months but i'm at least going to give it a go!

So to catch up on the main 2 years; I graduated from LBU and went to visit Priya in Canada, when I got back I was promoted to Supervisor at LEGO, where I stayed up until last week. I'm now sat on a plane on my way to the USA for the summer to work at Camp Saginaw as their Dance Specialist.

It's pretty much going to be non-stop for me for the next 8 weeks. At camp i'll be on duty the vast majority of the time looking after the kids, so access to my phone/the internet is really limited! To be honest, i'm looking forward to a little detox, (i'm really gonna miss Instagram though).

So as for my flights, i'm on my 8hr flight to Atlanta now, then after a 4hr wait I board again for a 2hr flight to Philadelphia, where i'm staying in a hotel tonight to be then picked up for camp tomorrow. Next week is orientation and then we welcome the campers as they arrive for their 7 weeks!

After 8 weeks of what i'm expecting is going to be the most rewarding hard work i've ever done, i'm meeting my cousin Sam in Miami for 4 weeks of travelling up the East Coast and visiting Orlando, Washington DC, Atlantic City and ending in New York in time for his birthday, and our flight home. He's currently on his way to Camp Winaukee in New Hampshire.

Rambling Post #11: What Do I Do Next?

I'm pretty sure 99% of Undergraduates experience this, but right now, i'm a little freaked out. Graduating from University always seemed like something that was far away and it was something that 'Future Annabel' would have to deal with, not me. But now i've started my final semester at Uni and it's all starting to get a little real.
So what do I do next?

Samuel L. Jackson memes are always relevant.

Obviously the usual thing to do after graduation is find a full-time job and become a proper adult.
No.
Not for me.
Not yet.

Don't get me wrong, I can't wait to have a proper job and get earning more money so I can get my own car and maybe a flat. However I get the feeling that as soon as I get a full-time job, i'll get comfortable and forget to do other things that maybe when i'm older i'll wish I had done whilst I had the chance. My problem is, I just don't know what order to do them all in.

24 weeks to Graduation.

So there's Camp America, travelling the South-East, save up and get myself a car, summer working at Disneyworld, Masters Degree? (still unsure about this one), volunteering abroad, move out...
I know this is totally a first-world problem kind of thing but it's been stressing me out and I suppose it's always easier for me to write things down to make sense of them.
I suppose the logical way to go forward would be to get the majority of the travelling and volunteering done, then go for a Masters if I decide it's something that i'd want to do. Then I suppose it will finally be time for a graduate job and to get my own little flat.
This is the first time in my life where I don't really know what's going to happen next, and whilst it's quite exciting with endless possibilities, i'm used to having a plan and a structure and knowing what to expect, so it's a little scary.

For now I guess I just need to focus on graduating.
