Cartwheels in the grass

I am officially a grad student; Though this is probably further away from the real life that I had been getting used to in Park City, its probably the best life for me right now. I acknowledge this transition is complete because currently I'm typing on my white MacBook in the USC commons eating a froyo. Its been a rough day -- 2 classes, swimming at the gym, and a midterm study session after I finish this post. And though, this time in "college" is 10 years later than my first midterms, its kind of nice to be back. I'm going to embrace the school time - the bars, the football games, and even the study sessions, but the end result is different than my time at WashU. Part of what made those years so special was knowing that I had so much ahead of me and that I didn't "need" to have any clue what my plan for the future was, but getting my MBA is based on a track, a plan, a vertical, and a goal (for many money, job satisfaction, or general contentment). There are some big shoes to fill and some large student loan checks to pay back. The fields ahead of me aren't as open to general silliness, and freewheeling, but maybe I can fit in a cartwheel or two before I'm too buttoned up to enjoy what lies ahead.
