This indecision’s bugging me

So I’ve been planning this little post-graduation backpacking excursion to Japan for a while now (and by “planning,” I really mean hemming and hawing and growing quite attached to the couple of thousand dollars I’ve supposedly set aside for it).

It’s now time to book my flight, and I’m panicked with anxiety over whether I should risk forfeiting any possible May/June employment prospects by running off to Japan for a month.

So, since popular vote is obviously the only sensible way to decide matters of great import, I’m going to solicit the Internet’s advice (with the caveat that I am not necessarily promising I’ll adhere to it).

Also, while determining whether I should postpone what could quite literally be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for the vague possibility of secure and comfortable employment (ha!), remember that I’m a journalism major (double ha!).

So, as Mick Jones (or Rivers Cuomo, apparently) would say: should I stay or should I go?

PS — This is, largely, rhetorical, but some encouragement would sure make dropping $900+ on a nonrefundable plane ticket a lot easier.
