8 Months Later

Tomorrow is my last day of co-op. I don’t know if I’ve been looking forward to this day. Sometimes you just want things to change and sometimes you want things to stay the same; but whatever happens time marches on and you have to make the best of it. Take chances, make mistakes, get messy. I move into a new apartment on the first of September. I start school again a little over a week after. The new along with the old. I don’t think I can honestly tell anyone what I learned (not co-op wise, I learned a ton of stuff there) about life or myself over the last 8 months. And that isn’t a bad thing or a good thing. It’s just a thing, a fact. I traveled through time, one second at a time, and experienced life along the way.

Start out in a completely new environment.
