After another late night thinking session, I came to the end of my journal late yesterday. While this doesn't seem like the most exciting thing in the world, it's always a significant event to me. Here's why: each of my journals (and there are many) become good friends to me. I take the small notebooks everywhere with me, truly, and so when I place a completed book on the shelf, I feel as if I am losing the company of a dear friend.
I got to thinking about how different my life is since I started this journal last July. I just wanted to take a moment to document some of the changes that have occurred to me in the past year.
- This time last May, I was still working on my undergrad
- I thought I was moving back to Michigan
- Had no job
- Had no life (No really, I was a really huge hermit last summer!)
- Was considering going to law school
- Didn't have a place to live
- I was flat broke
- I had a really great tan
And that just about sums up my life last summer. This summer, on the other hand, is much different.- I have a job
- Not in school
- Studying for the GRE
- Planning to move to Ohio in a few months
- FINALLY found a graduate program
- I have more of a social life than I know what to do with
- Never home (i.e. not a hermit)
- Have some savings
- Absolutely no tan
Lastly, but most definitely not least, Trust me when I say, that's huge progress! Hopefully this next journal (another mahogany brown leather book like the one I just finished) will be able to document another year of great changes. Something tells me, it will.
