(!) off to the races..

if i have learned anything important about college lately, it is one simple truth:

this isn't high school anymore.

seems obvious, right?

well yeah.. until the reality sets in:

I have Bills to Pay.
I have a Calendar to Keep.
I don't have the same people around for Comfort.
I don't have my Best Friend there to talk to everyday.
This is different,
this is hard.

I wrote an essay for my Dreams class. Today was the draft-peer-edit. My comment from Dr. Seal left me incredibly confused. To paraphrase, he basically said "It looks good. It has potential to be great... how are you going to get it there?"

Ok, so pretty much I'm on My Own for this paper. Sweet.

I also realized that I don't have the same lifelines as in high school. i don't have the support from a mentor, i can't see my best friend all the time, and i miss my home stage.

its kind of strange, thinking that this is all hard and difficult. and yet, this is exactly what i wanted:
to move on
to grow
to meet new people
to win
to make a difference
to find the potentials of myself

the time is now, the race is started, and its a huge furlong before the finish line. may it be the best race i've ever run.
