road

this week i'm commuting from lincoln to omaha for the last week of my internship. fortunately, i've been riding with a graphic designer named stacy that works in the marketing department, and she's great. but with all of this driving and the fact that my senior year is literally days away, i've been thinking about life, journeys, etc. (the semi-sappy blog post had to come eventually).
i'm not really one to look back and let myself get carried away with nostalgia. i like to live in the present and occassionally daydream about the possibilities of the future.
the "future", along with its unknown possibilities, is coming up faster than i had ever imagined or hoped that it would. and lately, looking back and sharing stories of my past with stacy has been the comfort i need to begin this year full of decisions. scary, life-changing, wonderful decisions.
at least for the next couple of days, i can dream about the days of watercolors painting birds on sketch pads, my pink and white bike with silver tassles, boardgame high school hangouts and the rush of my freshman year of college.
things i can look forward to? seeing everyone again, new classes, football season and the "surpise" going away breakfast the department is having for me on thursday.
stacy spilled the beans.
