The Next Update - Ambiguity Personified

Why should I post if I have nothing to post? If I do have something to post, should I wait until it is more concrete? I fear looking fickle when I merely look ahead to see what's next on my life's meandering river.

In sum, the current curve balls:
- I'm not going to Asia.
- I successfully added a second major (Economics), which nicely complements my Business Strategy major. To complete the degree, I'll be attending every waking hour for the next calender, not school, year. In the next year, I will complete 4 hours of Math, 24 hours of Econ, and 15 hours of Business Strategy. The rare departmental clearance came (I'm the only one that I know in the last few months who has gotten cleared) because I've finished my GEs, general business requirements, and my honors requirements. Because my primary major occurs in a sequence, I need something to fill the gaps. Consequently, a minor moved to a major fits the bill.
- I have no internship for this summer (Wow, what a loser. :) ) Anyone know any people who have sweet hookups? The vaunted BYU MBA program, ranked #1 in BusinessWeek and #3 in the WSJ by corporate recruiters, only has a paltry 50% with internships right now. I suspect the undergraduate to be something similar.
- My current internship with Dow is finishing up to no real fanfare.
- The honors thesis is taking shape. I hope to be completely finished by this October.
- I'm frustrated as I'll get out about the current economic actions taken by an administration that appears more interested in dooming the future to move his agenda along than to actually really fix the crisis. I typed up two posts and never posted them because I feared the repercussions of doing so...
- I'm still dating Thamina after 5 1/2 months. A record for both of us.
- I am unsure where I'll be living in the Spring/summer & Fall. If anyone knows anyone who wants a roommate, shoot them my way.

In essence, my life is one unsure mess. Nothing seems certain. The future has never been so ambiguous, which has forced faith and hope to take the helm.

As for more substance, headlines will have to do. I promise to flesh out some of these things by the end of the week and not bite my tongue on social commentary. I encourage responses and lucid, fact driven conversations with those of conflicting viewpoints.
