sanity, insanity, serenity and confusion

haven't posted in so long. duh.
in the last few weeks i have, despite the uncertainty (of everything and everyone in my life), found a new serenity. i feel happy and satisfied. and i have some sort of plan. i do, really.
my plan is...
after i finish here, travel some more, go to australia to see jana... see more of malaysia and thailand and also cambodia and laos. spend the last few days in bangkok to do LOTS of shopping.
to go back home, to paris, first, chill out for a couple of weeks.
then to go back home, to london.
find a place. possibly on my own, i'd love that. unfurnished. get furniture off my parents. get together a nice, cute little flat.
find a job. possibly at the same time as the above. possibly with a charity (which would be the best). but basically something interesting enough that i don't want to kill myself and good enough that i earn enough money to have a good lifestyle.
in 2007, do my masters. so not this year anymore. i've also changed subject - i want to do something a lot more specific. at the moment, my money's on an MSc in Social Policy and Development at LSE. specific enough but i think it would allow me to work both in europe and abroad.
and then... well i think i've planned enough right?
but a big part of it all is that i want to keep being like i am right, serene and happy, and i want to develop independently, have my friends close to me, watch films, read books, and have some stability. i feel like i really need that - i'm sorry i'm not like i thought i was. i mean, i want to travel and shit, but i can't imagine living my life moving from developing country to developing country every six months. i need my life, something stable and sure.
so what do you think?
I think it's a very good plan and you will be doing lots of interesting stuff! and i perfectly understand you would desire stability. after all, you know what travelling in developing countries is like, so it's a very rational and wise decision. i don't know whether you remember my doubts on oxford and london a bit but, i think i'll apply to king's college. do you know anything about it? do you think it's a good university? i'm so, so unsure about what i want to be doing from september on...
