Off into the wild blue...

[mordelis]

It's an hour before graduation and I sit at my computer, knowing that this is the end of my time here at Kenyon. It's been a four years that have dramatically changed my life, who I am, and how I think about the world. It hasn't been all tea and biscuits, it has had it's darker moments (last semester), but in the end I certainly wouldn't have traded it for anything. I've met some of the best people here at Kenyon and I'm proud that I can call them friends. I'm going to miss this place terribly. It's been my life for the past four years (I've lived on campus for two years straight) and now I'm not sure how I'm going to cope with not being here anymore. I'm going to miss Kenyon. Mono no aware as the Japanese would say. My time at Kenyon is more beautiful because it cannot last. I enjoyed it more because I knew it would end.

I'm not sure what's coming for me after graduation. I have no jobs lined up, but I do know that I need to find something fast because I need to have my own place in less than a month. I'm terrified at this prospect, but I'll just have to take things as they come and not let them get me down. Before too long I'll have place of my own and I'll be able to get online again and update and email people (until then I won't have any access).

You can reach me at:

(740) 358-6447 - My cellphone

740-345-4692 - My mother's phone number where i'll be staying for the next few weeks.+

Try the first one and if that doesn't work, try the second.

I have to go line up for graduation. I'm terrified.

Farewell, Old Kenyon. Fare thee well.
