Fourteen-Day Dream

09/11/2012


Accompanying Song: 40 Day Dream by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes

It's been a fourteen day dream/adventure/spiritual journey. Just fourteen days ago, I was at home lounging in my aloof summer mode that, oddly enough, switches on easily but lacks an off switch. A mode that spent days hijacking friends' Netflix accounts, which I consequently got kicked off of, and meeting up with my friends for Taco Tuesday, everyday. Summer always seems to be memorable and yet, not at all. It would take me several moments to collect my thoughts on what to tell you what I did over summer break. However, the last fourteen days have been like the Caribbean waters, so clear that every detail and contour of the vast ocean floor is visible and accessible. Obviously my summer was not lack-luster, but the things I learned starting August 28th have permanently appended themselves to my cerebrum. From the lesson on how to find a parking spot in the student parking lot, to how to ask others for much needed help on the still confusing IDH forms. Each day presented itself with challenges that were fixed, but never easily. Yet, the most memorable obstacles and challenges are the most rewarding and teach you the most. The clarity of these challenging two weeks is somewhat creepy but also encouraging me that it is all worth it.
