I don't think anybody reads this thing.

There probably isn't anybody reading this. I don't know really why I'm bothering to write in it. On the off chance that someone is reading and has something constructive and encouraging to say to me?

I finished up my portfolio and turned in what i had of a senior project. I had epic plans for it, but they never panned out. I decided it was time to throw in the collegiate towel. Turns out what i had of a senior project was enough to get me graduated. At least, that's how it seems. I haven't had the official discussion with my primary educators yet, but 2 out of 3 complimented me on my work already.

I regret not following through with the blog, but in some sense I also regret staying in college for as long as I have. I don't like to live my life with regret - it's very pointless indeed because the things we have done make us who we are today. If anything had happened differntly, I woudln't be the me that I am and it is likely that I would not have had the same perspective. So I admit regret presently becuase I have not reached my next destination - the next stepping stone on my path to the great future at which I am seeking to arrive at daily. It is not a destination that I seek, but a state of constant arrival rather that I look forward to.

I am thinking of deleting this blog.

But I'm also contemplating keeping it - and keeping the title. Although my academic journey is complete, there is something greater afoot now. I know now that it was just college I needed to move on from - I can see clearly now my new obstacles on the road to success.

  1. I guess someone did read this. As far as constructive and/or encouraging, all i can say is simply congrats for getting the monkey off your back. That was a pretty nifty/original project, and i'm sure you learned a little along the way too. Beats recording most bands anyway, amirite?

    Perhaps this, among other things, will help inspire me to get said monkey off my back too. Leaving town with unfinished business years ago was no bueno.

    Thanks for sharing and best of luck with the rest of your journey, Brenna.
