It’s amazing how when we’re really focused on something that we can completely block out other parts of life and give them no consideration whatsoever. With finishing classes on Thursday, a whole region of my brain suddenly turned back on. I never realized the things I had blocked out until I didn’t have to think about moving to Maryland, signing up for classes, and then taking classes all summer and all of the mental capacity that ate up.

Not to say that’s a terribly good thing…but definitely a different use of my brain than the past two or three months. It didn’t help that I saw a someone for the first time in about a year that really made me think about the mythical “what might have been.” What would life be like now if a few things back then had happened a little differently? They’d be different, very different, but I couldn’t help but feel like they would be just as good. It’s not like I haven’t thought about this before, or in the past year, but actually being there, three inches away and having a conversation made it so much more real.

Here’s to one more week of being lost in my head, then back to classes and the world of no time to think…
