Lights
Driving home from the work in the dark, all I see are trails of lights; illuminated beads of white float towards me, while I follow a string of glowing red. Cars so tightly knit and uniform in speed, like an endless, radiant necklace being pulled around the beltway. Transient messages on green signs evaporate from memory as they fly backwards into oblivion.
It feels like Christmas.
I'm really enjoying my job thus far. The commute is slightly bothersome, especially during traffic, but nothing spectacularly terrible. Could be much worse.
Edit: Another thought - I am eternally grateful to everyone who helped me get here. My mom, my dad, my professors who taught AVG, my coworkers at BreakAway, and my new friends at Big Huge. Today was the first day I wasn't utterly exhausted upon returning from work. The semester draws to an end, but I still have another one to go. Finals are just the initial test of my patience with school.
I want to finish strong, but I'm losing steam; work is becoming a larger priority than schoolwork... which isn't a bad thing, considering school is supposed to prepare you for a real job. But now that I have the job, it just feels like I'm going through the motions to finish with a degree that "qualifies" me something I already have. Hah.
