coming full circleness
Well it's been a year today since I took off my boyhood and put on my manhood. Except you know, I'm a woman.
Yeah, graduated a year ago today. Became a "real person" as I like to say. Quite honestly, I still don't feel like much of a "real person". I've got senioritis again b/c in 2 weeks I leave Capital Rep and go on to new and better-paying things (or at least I hope). Things sure have changed since graduation though.
I'd be lying my white ass off if I said I didn't miss one thing from MCLA - my peeps; the housemates and our extended family-types, my fellow anime geeks, my freshmen (who are obviously no longer freshmen), my former IEP kids, and all those random faces you learn to know fairly well.
But here at home I've miraculously re-connected with many friends from high school as well as made some new homefries, which is always cool. I never thought I'd talk to some of these people again and I've seen them and talked to them a good amount since I came home.
Things were rough at first with my job, but I really learned a lot there and I really ended up feeling a good connection with my co-workers. Not many people will do crazy one-day road trips to Vermont. You know those are some good people when they do stuff like that.
I've almost forgotten what it's like to be in school. Yeah, I still look back at a lot of memories, but I can feel them slowly being replaced by the new things I'm experiencing now. I thought it would be nice to just take a moment to reflect on things from the past year. I feel like I've finally gotten ahold of the person I want to be and wouldn't let myself be in school for one dumb reason or another. I feel lighter, even through all of my struggles. I feel like I've grown more than I ever could have.
I've done just about everything I set out to do when I graduated. Now if only I could shed 15 more pounds and make more than $20,000 a year (right now I'm actually only making around $10-$11,000). =P
I really want to get a tattoo of something really meaningful to me. Maybe a pisces symbols, or something Irish, or something about being free as a bird... but not free bird.
