hey you!
ReplyDeleteI just got through reading all of your posts, and I found myself saying wow on a number of occasions.
I think my college experience has been pretty awesome, but I really admire your adventure. I love the stories you write here (although how much of it is the truth I don't know... you do have a history). I feel as though I can relate, like I'm there, but then I also know just how far away I am.
I love that quote by your classmate, btw. Pretty inspiring... I'm going to go out and learn something tomorrow, for serious.
Have an awesome day!
I'm so glad you posted - it's really good to hear from/about you. It sounds like you're having the much-anticipated amazing experience you hoped for. It'll be interesting to see who you become. :)
