Beginnings
And so, my last first day as an undergraduate at Florida State has ended. The day felt long, but not overwhelming. As per usual, things are starting slowly. And, also per usual, I am using this slowness to get ever so slightly ahead. I just want to give myself a slight buffer before my life begins to percolate. And, while getting ahead, I even found time to do yoga and have given myself enough time tonight to meditate and relax before sleep.
Things feel like they are coming full circle. In a striking bit of parallelism, my Advanced Shakespeare class that begins tomorrow is being held in the same classroom that my first class at FSU was held (Williams 201, for the curious). And so, my first class and my last class are in the same place. I like that. It makes me feel like the past four years have been a part of a grand narrative, a fate, if you will. I want this semester to bring things full circle and offer closure. A very large, very important chapter of my life is close to finishing. I want it to end well. Perhaps, God willing, happily.
All I can do, though, is hope and trust. Hope that things will go well and trust that, whatever the universe sends me, I will be able to handle it with dignity and grace. At any rate, the semester has had an alright start. Most semesters do. We shall wait and see how it ends.
Please God, let it end happily.
