The Birthday Entry
Another year older, another year wiser.
Today was an uneventful day as far as birthdays go. I held my office hour, met with my group for a bit, then worked all afternoon. I lucked out: no hotline calls. At least I had that solace on my birthday. Anyway, I don't "celebrate" anymore. Dom and I are not exchanging gifts this holiday/birthday season, because we are buying a second Cobalt Flux very soon. We're splitting the cost, of course, so that is our gift to each other for this year.
I look around me and wonder how I got to where I am today. The answer of course is simple. Dom has been my rock and my purpose these last 3 years. Everything I have done has been for the betterment of our future, the most pertinent being my grades. College, in my opinion, was easier than high school. But on the same token, I may not have tried as hard if I didn't have something to be working towards. Sure, I knew what I wanted to do with my life. But when I chose to go to FSC, and when I graduated, Dom was not yet a part of my life. Only on that most wonderful day when I met him, life screeched to a halt, and I learned a lot more about myself. I learned how to truly be myself, because someone loved me for who I am.
With the beginning of a new chapter in my life just on the horizon, I have been very reflective lately. Another life change is just weeks away, but my constant is there to walk with me through it. It's exciting, another step closer to being done with my schooling, actually having a degree.
I have some coding to do. I could definitely do without Data Structures this semester. It's just an extra hindrance to my already limited free time.
