Maybe I am more sensitive to the topic right now and that is why I have been noticing all the adventurous photos put up on Facebook by kids my age now. It seems like everyone has the "on a mountain" "in a large field" "next to an exotic animal" "jumping off a waterfall" picture that you know really means "I did study abroad and didn't learn anything for 5 months but did some pretty awesome shit and spent a lot of money". I am clearly bitter about it. Probably because if I were to take the "adventure I'm on right now" photos, the album would include profiles of all my coworkers, of course, images of me standing atop the copy machines I have tackled this summer, the dark office I have survived like crawling through a dark flooded cave, my sunshiney room as a huge field of freedom and portraits of my family sitting around the dinner table - obviously in comparison to the "we did thanksgiving dinner together in a different country and made our own traditions" image from study abroad.
Ahh the parody never ends.
Off to tame the wild beasts of my backyard now, erm, I mean, read in my backyard next to a wasps nest whilst swatting at them.
Sweet sweet post-grad life.
