I've taken quite a long hiatus from the Collective, but now I'm back. My absence has been due to a lot of things, but most of all it's because my life is very much up in the air at the moment, so my free time has largely been spent in constant panic of where I'm going to be in the next few years. I'm graduating college in May, and (presumably) heading off to law school in the Fall. I have no idea where that will be quite yet, hence my general unease about the whole situation.

I find myself wondering if I'll ever see any of these people again after I graduate to go off and do my own thing. I could be in D.C., New Orleans, Chicago, Portland, or even just up the road in Tallahassee: who knows!? So here's a sort of travel mix - an aural journey through some of the things that are floating through my head right this minute. Enjoy!

7 Jim Guthrie : Lovers Do
I've been casually dating this Canadian girl (from Vancouver) for a little over a month now, and I've been meaning to give her an all-Canadian mixtape that I made for her. I worry that this will officially move us into "relationship" territory, and I have no idea how that would work if I don't even know what city I'll be in in only a few months.
