non sequitur; "it does not follow."
non-sequitur is defined as a statement that does not follow logically from what preceded it. Barring the awesome pun that is attached to my name because I have a soft spot for puns, I'd say non sequitur is the story of my life right now. A life with no relevance to the previous stage of my life.
It is - a rather optimistic interpretation of the phrase - a new beginning?
I'm a recent college graduate, hence the clever heading of this blog. I hope to remove "traumatic" from it in just a matter of years, but who's counting?
I kid, I kid...for those of you that know me personally, I'm a very happy camper most of the time. I'd say that right now I'm just going through a rather unstable phase in my life where I don't exactly know what I want to do.
Yes, I am applying to med school. No, I don't know where I want to go. No, I don't know what specialty. Primarily because I don't know if I will get in this time around, or even if once accepted, that I'll really want to go. Bottom line is, that stage has not arrived yet and I'm firstly focusing on showing the MCAT no mercy in July. After that, the decisions will come a' knocking.
But anyway, the point of this blog was not to tell you about every nitty gritty thought in my head, but more for artistic license. Simply put: I'm a closet artist. I love black and white photography, I love songwriting, singing, playing guitar, and I like creative writing. Unfortunately, once I got to college, I drowned in schoolwork, social networking, and $2 rails at the Fe. Not to say I had any issue with having a good time in college, no no, but come on, artists are supposed to be pretentious, sitting in cafes pontificating, smoking, and being pissed off! That's where the creativity flows! (Please tell me know you I'm joking..)
So yeah. Point of this blog. Right. I'll be posting original black and white photography as it accumulates and actually gets developed, writing, music as I record it, whateva. I'm a college grad. For now, I've got lots of time and no money. Which means, I can get CREATIVE! :) And to go back to the very title of this blog, consider everything you see here probably the most irrelevant, brief moments in my professional and social life -- which, invariably, make them the most valuable and worth documenting.
Jess out.

Good Ruck!! and hope you removed the "stress" as well as "traumatic". PSTD does sound better than P-CTSS. Artist are usually PSTD.
Yeah, more like I'm stupid and can't abbreviate properly. Problem is fixed! :)
Hey! You beat me to it - this is EXACTLY the kind of blog I was hoping to embark on now that I too am a (belated) college graduate. I feel all my artistic/creative aspirations have been squandered since leaving high school, and it's about time I resuscitate them before I get sucked into a monotonous lifestyle. I shall be keeping up with your musings sucka!
