Funny that I say that, it actually provides a decent introduction to the topic I wish to write about today. You're probably saying that I planned that out, and you're absolutely right. Nonetheless, I want to write about how time absolutely flies and how much things can change over even the slightest bit of time.
I've been working for my school for around a month and a half now, and when I first started it seemed like it would be an eternity until my two months of work would be over. But now that I am approximately three fourths of the way done, I find it quite hard to believe. So much has changed over this brief period of time that I feel like returning to my life after Orientation would be like a complete culture shock. Some of my friends from pre-Orientation seem like completely different people, not only in the way they appear but in the way that they act, talk, and generally portray themselves. I am finding it tough to come to terms with the facts that I very well may be returning to SJSU in the fall semester to a group of some familiar faces but also a group of complete strangers. It is just so hard to get a grasp on this.
As for the concept of the rapidly moving scope of time, I couldn't be more shocked about how fast things are going. Granted, I have heard the expression "Time flies when you're having fun," but this is just over the top. I never would have come to expect that a
And lastly, I too have changed as a person. I've grown more as a mature adult, and I have come to realize that I am capable of doing things that I would never had been able to do if it wasn't for the amazing experience I am living through at Orientation. I've made some new friends, I've had to tinker with some relationships with people, but generally I can walk away satisfied with the person that I have become. And if you haven't noticed from hanging out with me, I am no longer the shy guy that just lurks in the corner, but rather the outspoken person who could give a shit less about what you think of me and instead strives to make the best of every opportunity. I am no longer afraid to grow as a person, and break out of my introverted shell, because summertime should be a time of enjoyment, relaxation, and personal growth, and I absolutely plan to do all three of the aforementioned things.
And with that, I would like to conclude with a seemingly random quote:
"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." - Postsecret.blogspot.com

I am currently a graduate student studying education and will update my thoughts and experiences here periodically. Though the content of my blog may not always be the most intellectually stimulating, I believe that there is always a lesson to be learned from my posts, even if it's just a nonsensical story. I find poetry in ordinary life experiences and capture what memories I can through my camera's lens. At the end of the day I'm just another regular guy who needs to write his thoughts somewhere, and I hope you get some enjoyment out of my musings.
All of the best,
BK
