Oh crud . . . I'm out of blue tape!
Guess it's fitting though, since I'm leaving the dorms (and Res Life's too watchful eye) for good.
The "oh my God - I actually made it!" feeling about the composition major has wound down a bit (oh don't get me wrong - I still feel like the luckiest kid in the school - I went in, I got what I wanted, I'm going to work toward that goal now), and a little more pensieve mood has set in. So much is going to change, so fast - it's hard to believe its only been 2 years of college - and I have only 2 (maybe 2.5 - 3 depending on how things go with piano) more years to go. That's FAST! I feel like I'm graduating high school again, such is the amount of change I feel like is going on (apartment away from campus, a real, defined major of my chosing, a new music group - Vox Vesterae - we're on facebook! - a job at UATV - yay for technology! - taking a day-job for the summer, various other creative projects - O_o, o_O . . .)
And a slew of people graduate this semester and after fall semester - people I grew up with (okay, so high school isn't exactly completely growing up with them, but you still know more than a lot of people) and people I met here - but still feel like I've known for ages and ages (that's what living a dorm does to people)! Some are going to stay here, but some are going to go on and get out of here (I'm with them - I'm not staying in AZ forever - to elsewhere! . . .where?).
It's mind boggling!
. . . And I'm getting ahead of myself.
Still, all this change makes a person feel kind of small. I'm accustomed to change, but this is the most I've dealt with in a long time.
