It's been a weird mental juggling act trying to see how all these work/activism/experience, etc things will play out and I think I have to step back and remind myself to position things with my job (because as much crap as I talk I <i>do</i> like it) and let things settle before I go into full on panic mode. ;) Thanks for understanding.

Of course, I understand that you have to make a living too. And one thing that no one seems to much want to acknowledge is that one is in a much better position to be an activist if one is making a stable living. I'm not really going anywhere with this. Just try not to stress about it too much (I know, easier said than done), you've got lots of time to decide, and whatever you do will be certainly be worthwhile and rewarding in one way or another!
