Big things.
Before college, I can't remember large portions of my life. It's not that I've forgotten or have repressed it or anything. The issue is that there's nothing salient to remember: going to school, going home, watching TV, playing nintendo.
This is why I don't get cable or have an XBox
Things become more clear, not just over time, but with events and variety and so on: if you ask me what I was doing on a particular month starting after highschool, I can usually give you an answer.
Graduation-to-the-present has been one seriously intense sixteen-month period with a lot of firsts and strange experiences and wrong paths. I wonder sometimes if I've been wasting time, and while I have, I've also been learning from the experience.
This September, I'm in a better position than I've been in any other. I don't know where my life is going but I'm untethered: I can study or work or both or neither. Given the choices, being at school to qualify for graduate studies seems like a good deal right now. The part-time job may be a bit much though.
The last year has given me perspective and... wisdom? I've been away from Vancouver, and I realize that Vancouver isn't perfect, but it may be the best thing going. So it is with school: it's just that I haven't been away for this long before.
My twenty-sixth brithday is coming up.
