o11; if not graduate school, then I pilgrimage
Things are... complicated where graduate school is concerned. I am frustrated, and I just want a clear yes or no on my acceptance status. However... if I don't get accepted, I have decided that come September I am going on the
88 Temple Pilgrimage in Shikoku, Japan. Half the beauty of the two China trips I journeyed on was the climbing mountains to temples or other sacred/historical sites. Those cleansed me, and I know these will too. I also know that I have the mental discipline to handle such a pilgrimage.
I have found another guide to the pilgrimage
here. Rikku and Gina will be in ECNU as they've been accepted and Steph's enrolled in massage school right now, so if I go, then perhaps Paine will come with me if she can afford it. If not, then I will journey alone. I have no problem journeying alone.
While it's true that I would rather go to ECNU and I'm a bit sad about it because I was very ready to begin down my path for my Ph.D, I think I will need an experience like this to heal after all that I've been through since January when I was forced to return to America in the first place.
