When I got to work this morning, I noticed a couple snowflakes fall onto the windshield of my van. Snow. On May 2nd. Excuse me while I shake my fist at the sky� Okay, that’s better. I didn’t really shake my fist, though. It was more like a couple twitches of the wrist. Anyway, the Weather Oracles have assured us that Spring will return by the end of the week.
Now that summer is coming, a lot of my extracurricular activities will be ending. My Civics class ends in a couple weeks and my Humphrey Fellowship ends next month. In some ways, this is a good thing. I haven’t been able to stick to my daily writing schedule as much as I would like, at least as it relates to the book. A more open schedule might allow me to actually finish the thing this year. At the same time, I’m going to miss these regularly scheduled social interactions and group discussions. I’ve met a lot of cool people through these opportunities and I now consider many of them part of my circle of friends. I’ll have to resolve to find ways to keep in contact with them while looking for other networking opportunities. There’s a part of me that likes being kept busy and constantly meeting new people. I’ve never considered myself an extrovert, but I think people are endlessly fascinating and love learning about what drives them, what their quirks are, and so on. I’m sure other things will come up, even though I have no idea what they will be.
