There are two goals I will pursue this, new week. Goal, the First: find friends here at Virginia Tech that I haven’t seen in some time and set aside some chance for catching up. Goal, the Second: Do everything I can to usher back in my academic spirit since most of it was summarily crushed last week.
The first goal was spawned from last night spent with old high school friends. It was remarkably comforting and encouraging to see that other people have heavy eyes, too. With graduation comes the arrival of broken ties, a figurative axe severing the future relationships or contacts we will pursue as friends, buddies, comrades. Far from apathy, this parting ways is natural and allows for new relationships to come on the scene. But, I’m still not looking forward to missing more people.
The second goal is self-explanatory. The three-option path that the university is granting us will be a significant help for me.
At the moment, in the meantime, I am taking an afternoon to immerse myself in fresh air and accelerated motion. Nik and I rode this short trip around New Year’s and a Spotlight search helped me locate the details long after the initial adventure.
Happy Earth Day, everyone.
