Beginnings
"Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end." Seneca
My last beginning has indeed come to an end, and I still haven't quite managed to process that, dammit. I'm not going to work in the morning. My radio is not sitting on my hip, my swipe card is not hanging from my belt. I don't have four keys to manage, and I don't have a pair of gloves in my back pocket. It's over, and i can't quite make myself believe that. I don't want it to be! It seems like three months went way too quickly. I don't have to get up in the morning and put my name tag on and walk up the winding drive, or skim the fingerbowl. There won't be anymore finding of frogs in the long pool, or mucking the moat. No more late night trips for ice cream with the other interns, or general insanity. I have to remember that.
And with the ending of that beginning, I begin my sophomore year in college. It feels so weird. I'm glad to see everyone and I had an amazing time tonight. Tomorrow I have to go buy books. And then to fencing practice, and then back here to finish settling in, which is great. I'm back!!!! :)
