Today I went to visit Mike and see his new classroom at Panther Creek High School, where he just got a teaching job. Its only been 3 months since graduation, but entering a high school felt so strange. Not because I felt like I DIDN'T belong, but because I felt like I DID. How can I be finished (done. complete. not returning.) with high school when I still feel so young? I am stuck in a very weird place. Or maybe its normal?
Maybe the upcoming year will be exactly what I need: a chance to change things up while avoiding the concrete "moving on" that a new grade in school brings. Maybe I'm in denial that time will move forward no matter where I am on the globe. Well, I cant stop the clock. (But I do gain half a day when I return in December...that has to count for something!)
