Me and the Lake

[Image removed]Yesterday was the first day in a while that wasn’t completely rainy and cloudy. To celebrate, I grabbeed my camera and wandered down to the public dock, just in case there was anything interesting.

I really like this photo. I think it captures the “lost in thought” feel I always get when I’m wandering around beautiful places by myself.

On Friday I plan to drive the first half of my way back down to California for the first time in a year. Going back to Occidental will, I think, be somewhat strange if only because everything didn’t stop happening while I was gone. What a strange feeling to come back from abroad to find out that everything is just as different as leaving.

It will also be interesting to see where life takes me this next semester. I’m stuck in a major that seems less and less interesting the more I learn about it, and the only things I’m really excited about either aren’t educational or aren’t taught at Oxy.

Part of this angst is that I am what can only be described as twenty. I also know that regardless of how it feels or looks going in, I’ll come out looking and feeling fine. But these are the things I worry about when I sit like this at the lake.
