Kcunning gave some great advice earlier today:

Maybe also look at taking care of kids or tutoring if you're okay with those kinds of work?

Breathe.

Works part of the equation! When I'm working I do get into a flow and spend less time negatively wondering, worrying, and wandering.

Thank you! Your comment just gave me an overwhelming sense of peace. If you don't mind, how did you come to accept who you are and not accept the expectation of ease and leisure?

What else may help you cover all your cooking bases...

It's late so I am not going to look up the resources for these research study psychology statements but here it goes (b/c I just reread your comment):

Ponder this please...it seems like you're not taking the easy path by going camping but perhaps you are now going off into a different extreme that still consists of other people (your friends who said you're too girly) defining YOUR LIFE!!!

Yea, Kirac! Yea, camping, reading Walden, and self-reflection! Also...

A pat down sounds kind of intense! Thanks for the info b/c that would have freaked me out a bit, too. Do the workers watch you pee, too?

'Glad you passed and good to know!

Aarrrggghhh! Yeah...maybe most of the drug testing is for people who work with kids...I would love to know if people in the banking/stocks/trading sector get random drug tests? What did you end up doing instead of the camp art counselor position?

Wow, way to go for your Dad...also slightly scary! My system is sensitive and I'm sure my luck would screw me over (in a good way) and prevent me from entering a profession I have trained for/spent a lot of money on but I kind of hate b/c I didn't pass a drug test.

Oh, I definitely will take his word...he won't smoke while I'm there. He'd have to put me outside...last time he did smoke and I had a really bad reaction which kind of freaked me out which is sad b/c I was planning on getting employed and having weed everyday b/c the jobs I'm looking at are super stressful...might…

I would really like to visit my manfriend in another state, but I would stay in his apartment and I am wondering if his weed smoking ways would possibly cause me to not pass future drug tests... please let me know your experiences! He says he won't smoke while I'm there for three days, but I am looking for jobs right…

Wild Target

Please help! I need to gather some courage to get out of this state and away from my loving suffocating family. An out-of-state job offer is waiting for me in the wings. Please share your stories where you've move out/away or did something where you felt like you were really you. Bring all the details and share stuff…

I've not tried them all:

May I add some funnies to your already solid plan:

Congratulations on getting through the semester(s) with A's and B's and setting up couples counseling!
