As silly as I think it is that we are forced to have such a thing as “Leap Day”
because of the inaccuracy of our chosen calendar, I do see it as an interesting
thing in and of itself. Almost like New Year’s, but even more so in the
“pondering possibilities” realm.

How did you spend your Leap Day? I spent my researching ancient Greek art for my
presentation tomorrow.

What were you doing four years ago today? What were your plans? What did you
want to do with yourself? How is that different now?

I myself, four years ago, was a sophomore at href="http://www.imsa.edu">IMSA. My first year there, I was still coming
into my own in my community. I was untrue to myself in a lot of ways, and was
just starting to realize that i could let go and be myself around these people.
I do believe that at this point I still wanted to be an astrophysicist. We were
in full swing working on Twelfth Night and I hadn’t yet caught the
theatre bug (but I was getting there.) K and I had only been togther a little
over two months and we already knew that there was something more there than
just teenage admiration. I hadn’t yet been exposed to the idea that I won’t
ever know everything and was quite… uncultured.

Now I’d like to think that I’ve done a lot of growing. I’m sure of my short term
goals and fairly sure of my still-short-but-relatively-long term goals. I don’t
know anything sure about my long-long term goals. I know that there is more to
literature than Star Trek novels, but I now know how to enjoy them. I know more
of who I am and more of who I want to be. I know that I will never feel old
enough at the same I know that I will never feel my age. I know that you really
shouldn’t work a job on each end of Randall Road, but I know that I’m going to
do it anyway. I know that I really do need to get a reciept when using an ATM
and that text books are way too expensive. I know that some people find me
attractive and I still don’t understand it, but at the same time, I still don’t
really know what I find attractive in other people. I know that I have a lot of
growing to do.

What do you know?
