Class is finally starting tomorrow after this five day period of moving in and all the excitement and festivity of Dawg Daze. Tomorrow is the official start of my time here at the University of Washington, and I am dreadfully thrilled. I have an English composition and exposition class, an environmental studies course, and a wildlife course tomorrow. Lots of beginnings, lots of lecture, and lots of information. But I am anticipating the best.
Still, life has been absurd here in the past five days. So much has happened. But now that fresh start I have been seeking for so long can truly begin. Even though I have been here for over a month through academic coursework and most recently through dormitory life, I have not really begun the true journey of this university.
It's weird here. Life now happens, like it really happens here. Life keeps going, it doesn't pause here for the events that I encounter. All the emotions I feel, my friends endure, all happen while this structure of class occurs.
I have seen good friends from high school. I have seen old friends from middle school. I have met new friends. I have felt alone. I have felt surrounded by love. In the span of these five days I feel that I have already grown incredibly.
This morning, I felt life going well. My cough has subsided. My depression is fading. I am slowly becoming more comfortable with my own skin. I feel like life is headed in a good direction.
