I was just sitting here thinking about all the things I want to do, and there's always this, "later... later..." being whispered in the back of my head.

I want to go to grad school I think, and study language and immigration, and the effects of both on life and society. And I keep thinking that I'll have to really take some time to figure out how exactly I'm going to say that so that it doesn't sound really vague, and also figure out how I'm gonna go about getting a degree in something like that.

But then, in a different context, I think about how I might be going to Belize with the Claretians in a year or two. How am I gonna go to grad school if I'm in Belize?

I think I need to go ahead and start my plans, not wait to figure them out better. And if I have to take a years-long break before I finish them, fine. But if I just wait to start until future stretches out, certain, before me... God, I'll be waiting forever.

And then I'll never save the world.
