It's already May. My lord, how time flies. Kristin and I will have been going out for eight months come May 11th, and that's exciting! I don't think I would have believed where I am even just one year ago. In fact, one year ago I was talking about finishing my screenplay for my Screenwriting class, moving into my second Grand Forest apartment, going to see what I hoped would be excellent finale to the Star Wars series, Revenge of the Sith, and playing a Star Wars RPG with JD, Dave and Margaret. Well, I finished my screenplay and I hated it, I just couldn't handle living in the same room as another person that I wasn't going out with, Revenge of the Sith was a letdown and that game disappeared as many games do. I recently started a new Star Wars game with Kristin and Edward on Thursday nights; that has been fun and fulfilling. Not to mention I was going out with Margaret then; that ended, and I was (am) glad for it.
I am looking forward to graduating and I'm actually not terribly frightened by the prospect of hunting for a job, though both Kristin and John are having a hard time because it seems no one wants to get back to you. I have lost quite a few people I considered to be friends since then, as the theatre cadre has seemingly turned their collective back on me; I have reconnected with old friends and have met new ones that have enriched my lives.
Soon it will be June and I will have revolved around the sun twenty-four times. I'm nearly a quarter-century old, and I feel like my life is just getting started. Perhaps I have been incubating all my life, and just now I'm beginning to break out of that shell. At one point I thought that shell protected me, but in reality an egg is very fragile. Besides, I don't need to be protected from life. Though it may be sometimes hard and painful, it is also a great adventure. Whatever may be, que sera sera. I look forward to grappling with life beyond the ivory tower. Time for this Rapunzel to stop letting down her hair and start climbing down herself!
