my hiatus has ended

After months of hurried activity, I've finally returned to the double-edgedness of blogging. A got a nice wake-up call a couple of nights ago and I realized that I need to slow down a little bit and take some time to reflect. I suppose part of that process is journaling, but seeing as how my handwriting skills are the equivalent of a third grader's, and I have zero patience, blogging has proven to be much more convenient. Plus, I now have something to do instead of policy hw. I re-read my last post trying to remember what I last wrote about: I generally blackout for a few minutes while I write these things and what comes out is more of a stream of consciousness than ordered thought. I think it's funny how I'm now taking my own advice about motion and meaning a few months down the road. Wonderful how that works.

Where to begin...I guess that the last couple weeks have been an exercise in trying to tell people what they already know. It's surprisingly difficult. It's also surprisingly rewarding. There are three people (off the top of my head) who have struggled through this process with me in the preceding weeks, and they are nothing short of wonderful.

This next semester (and year) are going to be full of some pretty fantastic stories. It's senior year! Stay tuned.
