Sorry for double post. I don't want to forget this feeling.
I took a morning constitutional- down Mendenhall, up Spring Garden, and then turned at the top of College Avenue and slowly made that all too familiar journey down. Maybe it was delusion from lack of sleep, or maybe it was because I haven't been up this early and active in quite a long time, but I got halfway down College Ave, and I felt like a prospective again. Everything seemed fresh- and the sky looked like I never have seen it. I watched three planes fly overhead, and I felt like I didn't know where I was- but was excited to be there, on the verge of something new and different.
As it turns out, just half a month over four years ago was the last time I felt quite that way- the first time I came to Greensboro. As I walked around the dorm, I could picture it- the airport van pulling up, me meeting Jay at the loading dock door. And the end of that visit- the van from a different direction this time, and Aaron Dell walking me out and telling me to have a good life if he never saw me again.
It's all so crisp, so real. I feel like I'm standing in front of my high school on the last day for seniors.
Time to shower and put on those robes- I'll be live tweeting from the commencement ceremony, so check it out on that twitter business:
