I think I should be treated for skizophrenia or bi-polar disease or something. I feel great!
Have any of you walked the UT campus before? (besides those who attend school here....wise-asses, lol) Today, while walking back from a class, around 5pm, the sun was getting lower, the sky was still blue, and I was beneath the mass of trees to the left of the tower, right before the HMA, and I inhaled a heavy smell of sap. It was sweet. Then I happened to look up and saw the infamous UT Tower and I could've cried. It was so beautiful. I actually stopped in the middle of the side walk and let the world keep turning as I stood still and watched it.
After what may have seemed like 1, 2, 9 minutes...(haha)...I started to walk again and noticed about two or three other people doing the same thing. Fanning a hand over their brows and looking up at our school's most beautiful structure.
Heh. If I ever feel like going home again, I'm gonna go straight to that spot and thank God. This is an experience that I will remember for the rest of my life. Neither of my parents ever had the opportunity to go away for school. As a matter of fact, no one in my family (that I know of) have ever done what I am doing. Sure, everyone's encouragement to get out into the world and experience exciting things helps, but I don't think anyone's encouragement could've prepared me for the epiphany I had today.
Nothing as sweet as exhaling.
