The Advantage: Change in the City of Springtime

This time of year is historically [read: 'istorically] a time of change.

From students finishing exams and moving onto summer co-ops and drunken stupors, to the very weather we exist in changing from cold to warm, frozen to soggy.

So, why shouldn't it be my time to basically change everything in my life?

As you know, I leave in a week on my big trip! I am very excited.

My last day of work is this Friday. I have VERY bittersweet feelings about it. It is going to be sad and hard to leave, to be completely honest with you (and myself, I guess). I adore the people I work with, and we had a marvelous time at a going away dinner for me last night.

Nothing too special happened, but I think that was best. It was nice to all just hang out, chit chat about our lives and move on.

It's hard changing. I've done it a lot in my life. I've moved from my small home town to the big city, the big city to the big world and back again, and now who knows, really. I've freed myself of any hangups, responsibilities and tie-downs.

Traveling, of course, alters ones state of mind. It frees the soul, I believe, to think what it wants to think.

I have a lot of decisions to make before my arrival home. I'll try not to rush them. Like I said, change is hard.

Relating this to the Advantage of Doing isn't too difficult. I mean, change means a lot of work. A lot of thinking,  a lot of doing. the difficult part is doing it. But, lucky for me, since I'll be unemployed when I get back and all, it's sort of forced on me. Easy shmeasy.

On a lighter note, see what I did there with that top picture?
