One year ago today

One year ago today I wrote in my then new journal:
There’s a level of excitement in starting something new. New hopes. New dreams. New life. What these pages ahead hold for me I don’t know. It all feels so fresh now. I breathe clearly and dream passionately. I look forward to falling and the lesson the fall holds. I look forward to flying and the dreams that’ll grow. I look forward to living.
I wrote that at the start of what would become my most intense class here in Athens. A class that had my classmates and I all trying to do individual essays on the same topic. The class stretched my classmates and I like silly putty. Working on the same topic at times was more competitive than any cross-town rivalry I’ve seen, but it was the drive of my classmates that became one of the key ingredients in my growth.
Here I am a year later thinking about one of my final classes and the multimedia project I’d like to pursue. My legs shake in the uncertainty, but hopefully, just as last year, my classmates\friends will again push me to new heights.
