End of the Road

Hello Reader,

May your Sunday be lazy, but not rainy as mine seems to be.  I can hear the constant dripping of water outside my window and perhaps needless to say... I'm keeping the curtain closed.

My college is wrapping up their presentation of Camino Real by Tennessee Williams with their final performance today. Camino Real means "end of the road" and that's precisely where we, mostly I, find myself today.

The academic year is almost over.  I'll have to commence a furious search for full-time employment within the next couple weeks.  I'll have to pack up my life and leave my new home to go back to a place that now feels less like home and more like a vacation destination.  Lovely to be at, and comfortable to be sure, but no where I really want to live...

One can approach this end of the road with celebration, fear, cautious optimism, melancholic moping--the kind that makes you lapse into thunderous applause and numerous pats on the back when you realize you had the guts to drag your sorry butt out of bed--or they can approach it with all of those reactions previously listed, as I seem to have been doing in a vicious cycle over the last week or so.

The fact remains... this is it.  This is the curtain call on this particular play, this particular year in my (mostly epic) life, but good thing there is ample evidence of its existence. Good thing our year has been documented, both digitally, and with not so carefully written letters, almost too numerous to count.  There's the facebook statuses, the tweets, the tumblr posts, the BLOGS--100 posts now on Dorm Room 718, and of course, our memories that we shouldn't necessarily discount. Oh, and the folded ticket stubs carefully tucked away in my wallet. This roller coaster has left its mark quite visibly on a number of mediums, including human hearts.

Was it good?  Bad?  Horrible? EPIC?!  Hindsight will be 20/20, but it's been all of it.

Now this isn't the last post of the school year by any means, but know that it's winding down, speeding up, and doing everything in between.

Let's resolve to let the epicness continue.
