If My Life Since High School Were a Book

I think I'd be on Chapter 10 right now. Here's how I would divide it up:

Chapter 1- Post high school. The time immediately after I graduated when I wasn't going to school but was working at the restaurant and the toy store. This is the time during which I met Sara and learned how to drive.

Chapter 2- Working at the Library. Working at the library and going to Fullerton. During these years I switched majors from History to Anthtopology and then almost to Linguistics.

Chapter 3- Going to London. This is when I went to London. It was such a cool experience it gets its own chapter.

Chapter 4- Post-London. Getting back to my real life. Finishing up at Fullerton and working at the botanical garden and the bookstore in Pasadena.

Chapter 5- Doing Jack Crap. After I graduated from Fullerton, going up to Seattle and back a few times, working at the veterinary clinic. I got a bad case of bronchitis during this time that I think was directly related to being so stagnant with my life.

Chapter 6- Extended time in Seattle. I went back up to Seattle and spent an extended period of time there. It was while I was there that I decided to go back to school, get a Master's, and train for a real career.

Chapter 7- Getting my post-bacc. I went back to Fullerton and got my post-bacc in speech path. During this time I also worked at the Huntington.

Chapter 8- Going to U Mass. After I finished my post-bacc I went to U Mass and moved to the east coast.

Chapter 9- Living in Manhattan. I lived in New York like a big jerk for the first few years out of grad school.

Chapter 10- Now. I'm living in Westchester, I'm married, and I'm trying to figure out where to go with my career. My mind is occupied with things like buying a house and deciding whether or not to have children.

Hopefully there will be many more chapters yet to come, and hopefully they will be as relatively tranquil as the ones that have come before them.
