The First of Some

A new year, a new start, a new this, a new that. Hey, it happens, what're ya gonna do?

So yup, it's 2011. Another year ended, another year started. Is it just me, or do they go faster? I still remember 2004 as being a really long, good year, though I'm not sure why. It just was. So far, nothing has quite been as long and it just speeds up. Anyway.

I haven't posted on here in a good while. Not much to say, really. Life continues to move along. You can see most of my updates about life on my Facebook page (which, for anyone who reads this, that's probably where you found this anyway, so it's a redundant invitation).

Lots has been flickering around in my mind lately. So many things to figure out, so much left to do. It's really funny, actually. The reactions I get from people when they ask how much longer I have left in college and I tell them another 2.5 years. It's going to be a long time. Yes, I've already been there 3 years. I'll be there around 5.5-6 years, total. I'm going to be a super senior. Never thought it would happen. Then again, I never expected a lot of things in life to happen and they continue to happen. It's especially interesting, what with most everyone I know from college before my mission being graduated already. I believe there are only four of us left now. Myself, Brandon, Melinda, and Torry. Brandon will graduate probably a year before I do. Melinda, I'm not sure, I can't seem to keep it straight in my head. Torry, no idea. Yet how much longer till it's just me? Seems to end that way a fair bit sometimes. Life moves on, leaves you alone, and lets you meet new people, go new places. Kinda a depressing thought, really, when you're not the type who enjoys constant change. Gets old after a while. Change now and again is nice, but not so constantly. Especially when people leave your life. That is hard. It's hard to watch people walk out of your life forever. Makes you wonder what it's like for them when you walk out of theirs.

Yeah, that's a bit of a rant. It happens. I warned you, this is my alternate reality here, anything goes. Just so you know. And honestly, it may not be the last time. Hence, the First of Some. But I never said what. It's an open ended title, allowing for anything to fill the gap there. Isn't it great?

Hope you enjoy. Happy New Years!
