right now the yellow brick road is laid out in front of me. Gotta jump on my bike and ride it out, no time for walking here. I might express that I am rushing through that statement but I am not. Finding my 'clip' is my current thoughts. This semester coming up might just be the best ever. I earned it - it should be. I am focusing on my thesis and the ideas of postmodern thought, lit theory etc. Newer philosophy. The Downtown scene of Ny frames this and is my thesis. I am narrowing down the topic as I write this getting sharpened in my head. I can't get over how fascinated with this topic I am. It is SO exciting. Everything coming up is so exciting and my momentum to get there is at a comfortable - but greatly anticipated pace.
I will post more on this later - as it develops. I am just starting but I wanted to document how I feel about this all. I feel ready to run, like I have turned a page, a big one, and everything is fresh and new. I feel like it's sophomore year again - when i just started at the beginning of this incredible journey. Here I stand as a senior - about to go on to great things (grad school) having to face leaving farmington (which, i really don't mind that idea now) and having my view on the future. The future is too exciting to stay put - I am too young, too ambitious, and too passionate to not experience everything that is in front of me. I am owning it now - and it feels wonderful.
PS- Minus academic things I have a bike project I am doing. Building a fixed gear bike - no coasting here bub that's for sissies! It has been a summer long thing. found a bike - ripped it apart, sanded it down to bare metal (over a few 90+ degree days), primed the first coat. Then I found another bike ripped it apart for a few parts. Tomorrow I hope to find more parts bikes (at the massive rummage sale!) and begin on finishing the priming. I have the main coat - its a crazy gold that looks almost platinum in some light. We will see how it all shapes out! Hoping to have it done before the first day of classes so I can spin all fall on it around the Farm. This has been a great learning experience and has helped me get back into cycling heavily - which i used to do everyday when i was younger until the snow fell. Ahhh memories.
