Chapter Three

I have just made the decision to deem this day as the beginning of Chapter Three. The number three really has no significance. It seems right, and so it will be. 

It dawned on me a couple of hours ago: A lot of things are changing for a lot of people right now, myself included. I have always been an advocate of change; I feel that change is more often positive than negative, despite the rigors that it brings about.

School is once again rapping it's persistent knuckles on my window, and I'm feeling lured back out into the wilds of education. I feel unnaturally renewed, mostly in my spirit, and I'm certainly ready to get back to it. Whatever "it" will be. But "it" will be something. (Belmont is doubtful).

NOVEMBER 11th!

Saturday

What a Saturday it has been.

I am laying in bed. I am a bit worn out (less sleepy, more weary) but don't feel like sleeping quite yet.

I am content. I am at peace. And I am getting to know the meaning of both of those things a bit more everyday, it seems.

All Things Considered

At this point in time, it is hard for me to realistically believe that I am meant to have a "blog". 

I don't use this blog in the way that blogs are meant to be used. I don't even use this blog the way that blogs aren't meant to be used. I don't use it at all! 

Naturally, the next question rears it's smug little face: if all of this is true, why do I insist on returning to this little cubby hole on the web every so often? I guess it's because I can. And because I honestly enjoy the act of writing. I don't so much care to share it, but blogger.com makes it so darn easy, it's hard not to. 

So here I am, saying many things, and still, having not much to say. 

I have been trying to make the most of this semester. It's funny that I refer to it as a 'semester', although I am not enrolled in classes. For a brief spell, when classes were just getting started at Belmont, I felt a bit melancholy about my decision to take time off. That feeling soon passed. I feel confident about my decision now. I have been steadily working on things not necessarily academic, but still important to me. 

I will leave it at that.
