shootuptill5amit's the first day of classes today for this spring semester. it's kind of dawning on me in this moment that i'm really not that far out from completing my undergrad... it's a bit jarring to be honest. i wish i did more these past few years but life seemed to really get in the way.
i want to use the semester as a fresh start. putting all the bullshit behind me and especially leaving it in 2025 would be best. there's a lot of things to do and see and experience in the coming months. time slips by really easily. i always think about that quote from ferris bueller's day off: "life moves pretty fast. if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it". the past 6 months or so i rarely stopped to appreciate the small things so that's one of my goals for the coming months.
another goal i have is to make lasting connections.. reading that written out is a little sad. i don't know if it was me, something i did, my schedule, or just other people, but a lot of the 'close' connections i had seemed to be ripped away from me over the past 6 months as well. it was honestly a rough stretch of time. a deep part of me craves human connection. i truly do believe that's one of life's meanings (if there really is any).
i think if anything i started out pretty strong today. if we want to backtrack to today's true start at midnight, then i started the day by going with some of my coworkers for drinks. i had a lot of fun, honestly -- it was with a coworker i'm pretty chill with (although he says... interesting things sometimes) and one of my favs that i hang out with time to time outside of work. the first one left but her and i ended up staying out a lot later than i expected since our conversation was fun. then it took me forever to get home... subway schedule at night is brutal. i slept at 5, woke up at 12(oops...), went to class at 2... that class wasn't too bad. i think it'll be good but just a lot of reading. i'd rather have that than insane exams though. the people in there seem pretty chill too. i found myself actually participating? i usually am nervous to speak in class but for whatever reason it wasn't overwhelming today. also, i thought i was gonna get totally outfit-mogged in class today but i wasn't... thankgod
i still have one more class today so we'll see how that goes. i'm not really sure what to expect. it starts in 30ish minutes so i should wrap this up. writing here again feels good though. i need to be more consistent. that'll be a goal too.
if anyone else's fdoc was today, i hope it's going well or went well for you :) here's to good semesters all around
