a whirlwind

Sitting here packing up my stuff to move out of my apartment for the summer is pretty surreal. My first year of law school is in the books.

Life is only going by faster and faster, and it's scary to look back and think "did I really do everything I could have done in that last week/month/semester?" I know I've shared a similar sentiment before, but moments like these is when it rings true that if we only focus on the finish line and do not cherish the journey, one day we will look back and wonder where our life on this earth has gone.

I'm looking forward to doing and enjoying a lot of different things this summer. It may be one of the last periods of time I get to live with my family, and I think it's important to not take for granted or think of SD as a bland default option.

And because I'm clearly too rusty at this blogging business to come up with a tidy ending myself, I'll share a quote I heard a while ago that I really liked.

God delights in dealing straight blows with crooked arrows.
