Yesterday I made a short, but delightful visit to the UW campus. It was just long enough for

a visit to Trabant

meandering through Magus

an important chat with a professor

and a chance to see Lois lovely.

It will be very strange this fall when my friends go back to class. What an odd September--the first September that won't see me in a classroom. C'est tres bizzare!

*trite, but wise, words outside Trabant

Six weeks from today, I will be done with college.

Incroyable!

I will [Lord-willing] be carrying on with my studies, but it won't be here:

 I'll be back to visit some favorite places, but they will be the stuff of nostalgia, not routine.

 I don't mean to be all sentimental, but the truth is becoming more and more real.

And the truth is, I'll miss it. I'm often reluctant to move on to the new thing--even when its going to be better--because I'm familiar with the old. But it is time to strike out, venture forth, and discover.

I received an incredible word this weekend about being at the tipping point.

I have no idea what that means exactly, but I can sense that its time.

So, here's to the tipping point and all the new things coming

and to six more glorious weeks of this:

Have a great monday!
