We Have One Chance, One Chance To Get Everything Right

I have a feeling this song might be terribly pertinent.

Haven't updated in a long time, and I guess it's probably because I've been avoiding posts like this...

I took my last exam today. Excited? Probably, yes. I don't have anymore schoolwork to do for... like... a long time. So why "probably?" I don't feel like I have to answer that question. It seems I would only offer an incredibly hackneyed answer. But it's all true. All the stuff about being "prepared" and have "reservations about the future." Yeah, that's all going on right here. It's the strangest feeling I've ever felt. It's the most secure-insecurity. I know I'm not going to fail in life. I know I'm not going to do poorly. I'm going to apply to grad school again, I'm going to go, I'm going to get my degree, be successful... It's not that stuff. It's kind of like my future is a connect the dots picture and I'm worried I might not draw the lines straight enough, or with the right smoothness. I'm just glad that there's free booze before graduation. :)

The lyrics of this song made me write this post... so blame them.

We have one chance.
One chance to get everything right.
We have one chance, one chance.
And if we're lucky we might.

My friends, my habits, my family,
they mean so much to me.
I just don't think that it's right.
I've seen so many ships sail in,
just to head back out again and go off sinking.

I'm just a box in a cage....

Didn't mean to laugh, didn't know I had.
Didn't know the better part of what you said
cuz in your head you are not home.

Didn't get the joke. Didn't mean to poke another,
just to save myself
from some something something or another one.
Well walk home.

I'm just a box in a cage...
