In fewer than 12 hours, I will be a college graduate.
In fewer than 4 days, I will be 10,000 miles away, literally.For the past four years, I've lived safely behind these ivy gates. Life was certain: class. extracurricular. meal. fun. sleep. But all this academic structure vanishes when I receive that slip of paper proclaiming me a knowledgeable Scholar of the Arts. What will next year entail for me? What will it be like when I'm finally in the "real world"?
Yet before I officially embark on the New York type of life, I will spend some time reflecting in the land down under. While driving alone through national parks and the "almost" outback roads of Australia, I seek to find a sense of self and to create my own definitions of success, happiness and good. And if I later learn that my current conception of life is relatively clear, this trip will only improve and strengthen it further.
How changed will I be when I come back? No idea. ni idea. But I definitely look forward to reading your feedback and your insights. Please comment (private or public) to let me know that you care. And thus begins my first blog post.
