Already? Really?
Who believed that this time would actually come? Anyone? I myself was doubtful. I remember when the summer seemed almost endless, when the month of September felt SO far away, when talk of the 4th of July even seemed premature. But here we are, each of us with a squeaky clean slate at the beginning of this fresh, fall semester. There's something so special about beginnings, about the overwhelming amount of possibility that lies within them. This semester could be the best yet, and that's a beautiful thought.
There's so much to share...stories from my summer employment at Pazo, the restaurant in Harbor East where I quickly learned how difficult it is to be a server, stories from the 2-day retreat I was on last week with the other 5 Maternal and Child Health scholars, stories from Florence Crittenton, where just today I began my field placement. It's all good, friends...that's the bottom line. The line after that sadly reads "to be continued". Time is short now, but I'll find some soon and get to sharing. For you first-year students, welcome to UMB. You'll be very happy here. For my fellow classmates, a warm welcome back. Look forward to seeing you all again.
