first page of a final chapter

It is an odd feeling to know that my final semester begins tomorrow. I've been trying to let this sink in. In a way, it's like starting the first page of a final chapter. New York is waiting patiently for us [16 weeks in the future] as the first chapter of a volume two and I believe it will be quite the sequel. 

My challenge for these next weeks of study is to stay in the present. Words are not sufficient to express our excitement concerning our future plans, but to live too far in the future would be to waste the lessons I still have left to learn here. To grasp towards the future is to miss out on an awful lot of living right here, right now.

A fulfillment of a dream doesn't come along everyday, so this is one I want to stay completely and utterly awake for.

Namaste
