on le start of the new semester.

I see a light, it may be a train, but it's a light nonetheless.
I'm still alone.
I'm leaving this city later this year.
It feels like I just got here. And I really just did - since the 16th will be my 1 year anniversary of moving to Lexington.
I like it here. But it's not where I am going to be forever. I get that sense in my bones.
I'm looking east next. East or Chicago.

The only thing I somewhat dread is starting fresh again. It's both exciting and a pain. But, I already have experience.. so it won't be too horrible.

The semester officially started yesterday and I have no motivation for it. This is awesome. I think it's because I'm looking ahead to the next phase of my life ... but I have to look ahead. All I see around me are graduates of my program who are still looking for jobs - amazingly smart and talented people who have graduated 7, 8 months ago or longer.

Most are staying local which limits their search, but it's still disheartening..

Graduate school is a beast. Staying positive (or trying to) is all one really can do. Else, you fall through the cracks.
Time goes way too fucking fast.
