Maybe I Should Do Something

Andrew and I just returned home from my BYU graduation. Well, it has been a long time coming, but I'm glad that I've finally finished that chapter of my life. While I can no longer put "student" down as my type of employment when filling out my demographics, I still think of myself as a student. Life Long Learning is a BYU motto. As one of the speakers at my convocation said, one definition of "graduate" is to change gradually or by degrees, so you are not really ever graduated.

Now that I'm done with my undergraduate courses I feel like I can expand my studies into areas that have captured my interest lately. I want to take art classes at the local community center or art museum. I want to paint, draw, sculpt, design, write, sew, run, dance, swim, bike, eat, cook, read, ponder, plant, travel, play, explore, and love. Basically, I want it all. I know that I do not have the time to become proficient in all the things that I am interested in. Work will absorb most of my time during the day, but I can always dream.

Andrew starts his second year of law school tomorrow. He has been busy reading all of his assigned pages for Monday. The moment we stepped through the door of our apartment I knew that our vacation was over. I had shopping, cooking and unpacking to do; Andrew had to study. Of course Murphy's law reigns supreme and Andrew's Cadavalier decided to be the piece that it looks like and not work. Fabulous. At least we have my hand-me-down Focus to rely on.
