memorializing growth
Today is the first day classes at EMU. I'm trying not to let it matter to me, but there is something final in the fact that my summer holiday continued on as normal and nothing marked the beginning of a new semester. My new adventure is beginning soon, in two days actually (you can follow my Rochester adventure here ), but I am somewhat saddened that my EMU adventure is actually complete. It's not that I miss school (I'm sure that will come soon), but I miss the person I was at EMU. I miss the passion, the conviction, and the having of a goal. And I'm worried that the lessons I learned and the things that stretched me are fading away. Something I have been reflecting on since I walked across the graduation stage four months ago is how to mark this ending. How do I represent all of what EMU was to me, all the friends and memories, the hopes and dreams? And of course I cannot represent all of it, but I don't want things to simply fade away without making the effort...
