The past couple of days have been rather productive. I’ve managed to write two new songs in relatively short order which means the new album now has nine completed songs. There are still a couple more on the way, but I just haven’t quite gotten around to finishing them yet. I will do that soon though I hope.

Another piece of exciting news in my life is that I’ve started preparations for a grant application and proposal to teach English to German middle school and high school students in Germany beginning next year. If I get it, I should be able to work on a Masters degree at the same time. I’m really rather excited about it, although it is a real pain to get everything together for a grant. I will definitely get through it though because it is absolutely worth it.

Well, I’m not sure what I really want to do anymore. I am about to graduate with a degree in both history and German, but I am not sure what I want to do with my degree anymore. I have been considering going abroad to Germany for a while and teaching English for a couple of years, but I really kind of want to start pursing a more permanent career option with the current economic situation.

The other consideration I’ve been having as of late is going into politics. I don’t really know if this is just a passing phase or something I am legitimately interested in though. All of the commotion surrounding the inauguration of Obama and everything has made me think it might be a viable career choice.

The real problem I have though is that I’m just too interested in too many things, so as I’ve said, this might just be a fleeting interest that will be gone within the next few days. We will see though.
