School Year
School days, school days, good old golden rule days. Remember the Little Golden Book with that song in it? My grandma had it when I was a little kid.
But anyway, this school year has been insane. Last semester seems like 10 years ago, and I don’t say that to complain about time going too fast, that I feel old (at the ripe age of 23 :P), or anything like that. It’s because so much has happened, and so much has changed. Me, the world, other people I know. It’s not all bad either. Not at all. In fact, some is good, and yes, some is bad.
I just can’t recall a time, recently anyway, where I feel like this. Maybe my first year of college, but even then it didn’t feel like this. Maybe it means that I’ve made progress. I dunno. I’m not complaining in the least, guess I’m just getting my thoughts out on it, I guess, and it’s just weird how…how much has seemed to happen in 9 months. My knowledge has been tested, my cultural identity has been challenged, my relationship has mimicked the one Katy Perry sings about in “Hot N Cold,” I’ve had 3 different jobs in the last year (liked and disliked), I’ve met celebrities I’ve admired, I’ve been in less than ideal situations, I’ve even had my hair dyed, straightened, and even hacked off. I think just about everything about me has been questioned or challenged in some way. So now, here I am, and I’m definitely kinda wondering just what all has happened…
It’s all character building stuff. Even the mistakes I’ve made, I’ve learned from. But, no matter, it’s still mind blowing because it’s been so much. But I’m sure eventually it’ll all pan out.
Next year is something to anticipate, too. I’m picking up Chinese, so on a daily basis I’ll be speaking 4 different languages. hahahaha! 
But we’ll see how it pans out. It could be VERY interesting.
