Momentous May 22
I haven't posted in weeks. Mostly because my life's been accelerating and feeling somewhat out of control.
Today was my graduation. And my birthday. Most people I talked to forgot one or the other (usually the b-day.. but lara remembered that). The ceremony was mostly unremarkable except for the fact that I was really excited as it occurred. I remember back at high school graduation I was only excited about it being over. I was ready to leave, and that's all I felt. The only upsetting part was packing up and that's only because I hate packing for being such a pain in the ass. But this, this was different. I've been feeling pretty ready to leave for a while (my last month of school has been prepping plans for the next 7 or 8 years of my life from the apartment to furniture and whatever, and helping megan find an apartment at the same time. But suddenly, despite not having too many people that I'm going ot miss especially, I feel really physically and emotonally drained.
I feel I'm desperately going to miss college and not just because of the fact that I now have to get on with my life. Here I was intellectually stimulated, had a few really good friends, got to see most of them regularly, had fun playing rugby, and was for the most part very comfortable while it all occurred. I know I'm not going to have the same thing in the future, and I know that I can't have this ever again and it drains me. AECOM could be awesome, but it'll be in an entirely different way. And oh yeah... it's for reals now....
