This morning, a few of my colleagues were playfully "predicting the future" by rolling the dice. I wish it were all that simple. I wish I could just know things definitively, but I can't. I wish I would know with certainty where I'll be living in the fall or if I would get caught if I got myself a fuzzy pet (which is technically against my apartment's policy); little silly things perhaps, but in a sea of uncertainty, it would nice to just know.

Goosefrahbah?
Today, I am dreading the immediate future. In a few short months, I will have completed my undergraduate degree and hopefully be starting graduate school somewhere on the other side of the country. When that time comes, I will be really embarking on the world on my own. I might choose to move in with my boyfriend, which will no doubt lead to an awkward conversation with my parents, and could, perhaps, lead to alienation from my entire family. I may also be forced to "come out" as an atheist to them, an encounter I've been avoiding since I would undoubtedly break their hearts. At least I would still have my awesome support network of fabulous friends...

I'm in the same boat. I honestly do not know if I will even get into grad school and Kay would really like for things to be stable for a possibly growing family... terrifying.
