i am always amazed at how fast the semester goes by. around midterms i know it feels as if it will go on forever but inevitably finals come and another semester is done and the closer i am to being out of higher education. it's a weird thought, being done with school. when "student" is the thing you've identified with for 20+ years, the thought of being done is a little scary. crazy dynamic of approach/avoidance with the end of school, good thing i have year and a half left to sort that all out :)
life brings new unexpected things, which although take some getting used to sometimes, are what life is all about. i've been struck with the importance of enjoying where i am in life right now. sure there is crap that sucks sometimes, but above all else my attitude in the midst of everything is what determines how much i either love life or just survive it.
