i can't remember whether i've told you guys this so forgive me if i have and i'm just repeating myself.
one of the analogies for my life that i had when i was going thru undergrad was that of the young, inexperienced 'warrior' who goes on to slay the dragon and save the princess in those RPG games, like zelda, etc. typcially in these games, you start off in a small village of some sort, where you have to collect weapons and magic potions, build your strength and fighting skills and so forth. that's how i thought of school. there was always hope and anticipation that once i left i would actually start 'living', or at least get to the interesting part of the game outside the village where there are monsters to fight. i'd always be restless too, in that i couldn't wait to get ouf of the village, i wanted to be out there as soon as i could, coz the 'village', while safe, was pretty boring.
my point assuming i have one....) is that there was always this feeling that i was at the beginning of something. it's been a while since i've thought this way. i'm beginning to suspect that i'm not in the village anymore. it's not good or bad, just different...
