Six

A wise professor once told me to plan for the future in intervals.

"Think about what you want to do in the next year. You won't be doing this forever but just for the next year or so. Then it won't seem so hard to get there."

I'm not sure about the next year, but I have a lot of things I want to do by the end of six months. For one, I'm going to run a half-marathon six months from now. I will have also completed my volunteering commitment as an ESL mentor, which I assume will be a thrilling experience. And last but not least, in about six months' time I will embark on a crazy adventure for one year. A year that will hopefully teach me everything I so wish to learn about people, perspectives, cultures, and life. Ah, it feels good to be excited about the future again.
